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…
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…
NPL researchers have designed a low-cost, low-pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) device that allows high quality, single-layer graphene measuring 4 inches in length and 2 inches in width to be…
Retention of photoluminescence for prolonged periods is a major challenge in fluorescent inks. Now, NIIST researchers have found a way to solve it. The fluorescent dye encapsulated in double-layered silica nanospheres…
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 one-time financial reward of Rs.50,000 and Rs.20,000 has been recommended for papers published in international and Indian journals respectively. And an incentive of Rs.1,00,000 on obtaining an India or…
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…
