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…
Studying the total NMR spectra of metabolites present in exhaled breath of children with asthma, IGIB and AIIMS researchers have been able to improve the diagnosis of asthma and identify…
Small molecules used along with anticancer drug makes cancer cells sensitive to the drug. Resistance to anticancer drugs is a major problem in oncology affecting a large number of cancer patients. Now, researchers at the…
Synthetic peptides, which have sequences identical to the natural ones isolated from the bacteria, prepared in the lab showed antimicrobial activity. This makes culturing of bacteria for peptides redundant and…
Controlling the level of telomerase can probably prevent cancer metastasis. Researchers at Delhi’s CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) have found the mechanism by which controlling the levels of…
In a completely different approach to drug discovery, a team led by Dr. Samir K. Brahmachari at Delhi’s CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) has used a combination of…
