A multi-institutional team led by IIT Kanpur has found the mechanism responsible for the aggressive return of prostate cancer in treated patients. They also found that treating prostate cancer cells…
IIT Kanpur researchers have identified and characterised a novel small protein molecule that can effectively control inflammation leading to better treatment outcomes than the ones undergoing clinical trials. Researchers at…
IIT Kanpur-led team discovers the molecular mechanism by which a protein (EZH2) is produced in excess leading to a reduction in the levels of two microRNAs. This causes an oncogene…
Researchers from IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur have used a different approach to mimic the development biology pathway by which adult load-bearing bones are formed. The researchers made the stem…
Increased aerosol loading in the atmosphere due to pollution has led to changes in the number, shape and characteristics of the rain-bearing clouds. The increased cloud reflectance has led to…
The NBRC-led team of researchers has identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which Zika virus causes microcephaly. The envelop protein of the virus was responsible for arresting the proliferation of human…
IIT Kanpur researchers have found how permanent cartilage is formed in an embryo due to mechanical movement. The permanent cartilage gets lost and transient cartilage forms in its place in the…
BMP signalling was previously known to play an important role in the early development of the brain. Now, IIT Kanpur researchers have found that BMP signalling plays an important role…
