IGIB researchers have found that besides degradative pathways, TB bacteria actively manipulate another organelle — lipid droplets in macrophages. When lipid droplets are infected with TB bacteria, the composition of…
A team led by IIITD-AIIMS researchers has developed a machine-learning algorithm to detect and predict shock using a single photo captured through thermal imaging. It has the ability to predict…
IGIB researchers have discovered a pathway that regulates hepcidin hormone production. The hepcidin hormone is a central regulator of iron in the body and its dysregulation can lead to anaemia…

Institute of Genomic and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB), Delhi, researchers have for the first time discovered that necrosis in granulomas result in the development of lipid-rich foamy macrophages, thus overthrowing the…
IGIB researchers found that genes responsible for iron intake were less expressed in TB bacteria found in fat cells. The decreased expression provides protection to TB bacteria from iron-mediated oxidative stress.…
Researchers at IGIB have demonstrated that zebrafish can be used an animal model to study Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome (RSTS) in humans. They were able to partially reverse the disorder using…
IGIB researchers have for the first time identified a calcium sensor protein (STIM1) that independently regulates both skin cancer and pigmentation. Since different parts of the STIM1 protein activate two independent signalling…
