IIT Hyderabad researchers have fabricated a a microfluidic device that can detect cardiac biomarker cardiac troponin I over a wide range. The microfluidic device can detect the biomarker even when…
Old, non-lactating cows housed in traditional cow shelters tend to have higher stress when among other factors there is cow dung in places where the cows lie down and there…
A team of scientists from ICAR, ICRISAT and State Agriculture Universities has developed new groundnut lines that have up to 82% of oleic acid content, which is highly desirable for…
By substituting a hydrogen atom of the protein with an iodine atom, IISc researchers have been successful in directly delivering proteins into mammalian cells. As a result, there was nearly…
CCMB researchers in collaboration with a Russian team have found that Bengal tigers in three India tiger reserves are 20% more stressed. The stress is caused due to higher anthropogenic…
IIT Hyderabad researchers have fabricated a low-cost, ultra-sensitive device that is capable of detecting the cardiac biomarker troponin T protein. Compared with the current limit of detection, the bioelectrode was able…
CCMB researchers have fabricated a paper-based microfluidic device for rapid determination of lipid profile. Cholesterol and triglycerides can be detected in less than eight minutes and only 10 microlitre of…
IISc researchers have found cholesterol present in cell membrane playing a central role in the two-step process of stabilising and binding together the pore-forming toxin Cytolysin A. On binding to cholesterol,…
