A molecule identified by IIT Roorkee researchers exhibits broadspectrum bactericidal activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria. The molecule was found to be effective against persister bacteria as well. Screening a small-molecule library…
Due to fear of losing their job, researchers from Brazil have preferred to remain anonymous in a paper on Amazon forest fire. The acknowledgement section of the paper published last…
Researchers from IIT Ropar and CSIR-IMTECH have found that stimulating two specific receptors found on the macrophages helps in killing TB bacteria. Once activated, the macrophages eliminate the bacteria through…
Using machine learning of 17 genomic signatures, researchers from IIIT Delhi and CSIR-IMTECH have developed a webserver called CancerSPP that will help clinicians in classifying cutaneous melanoma as either primary…
Researchers had used brain organoids to study how Zika virus affects brain development in the embryo and causes small-sized brain called microcephaly. This study would have been nearly impossible using…
Delhi-based researchers have found that TB bacteria promote rapid synthesis of lipids inside mesenchymal stem cells and hide within the lipid droplets so created. They found that TB bacteria hijack the…
IIT Bombay researchers have fabricated a sensor that can detect zinc over a wide concentration range — 0.1-500 ppm. The electrochemical sensor can be used for detecting zinc in the…
In the case of health people who have normal red blood cell count, the use of external erythropoietin is highly likely to make the blood viscose leading to increased risk…
