With CSIR labs now permitted to test samples of novel coronavirus, Hyderabad-based CCMB and Delhi-based IGIB have started sequencing the genome. CCMB has already sequenced the genome of five isolates.…
A study of four-generation Indian family with asthma and validation in a paediatric cohort led to the discovery of an associated olfactory gene variant. The expression of the gene is…
IGIB researchers have used a different Cas9 protein derived from another bacteria to make gene editing more efficient and precise. The new Cas9 protein shows very less tendency to bind to…
An April 2 advisory issued by the AYUSH Ministry makes it mandatory for any non-AYUSH scientists undertaking research on AYUSH drugs or treatment to involve an AYUSH expert. The provocation…
The blood biochemical parameters — lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides), plasma glucose, insulin, HbA1c, urea, and creatinine — of Indian adolescents were measured in a large study…
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…
