Left-Right Political Spectrum and the Human Gene Pool
(OMICS, 2016)Left-Right system is a well-known political spectrum apropos across the global politics. A number of social, cultural, linguistic, religious and economic attributes are identifiable in either of these two spectral extremities ... -
Legume lectins: Potential use as a diagnostics and therapeutics against the cancer
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Legume lectins are carbohydrate-binding protein and widely distributed in a variety of species of leguminous plants and have drawn increased attention toward cancer. Nowadays, the lectins have been studied for the screening ... -
Low temperature-induced aberrations in male and female reproductive organ development cause flower abortion in chickpea
(Wiley, 2019)Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is susceptible to low temperature (LT) at reproductive stage. LT causes flower abortion and delays pod set in chickpea until terminal drought becomes an issue, thereby decreasing yield potential. ... -
Low-Carb High-Fat: A Paradigm Shift in Nutrition
(CSIR- NISCAIR, 2015)Gone are the days when doctors would advise their patients to minimize fatty foods and use non-caloric artificial sweeteners as substitute for table sugar, and nutritionists would recommended avoiding fat for weight- loss ... -
Macromolecular crowding on Dynamics and Thermodynamic Stability of Heme Proteins
(Elsevier, 2018)Structural and molecular properties extracted from circular dichroism (CD), tryptophanfluorescence and 1-anilino-8-napthalene sulfonate (ANS) binding experiments suggest that the high concentration of synthetic crowding ... -
Macromolecular crowding-induced molten globule states of the alkali pH-denatured proteins
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)Structural and molecular properties extracted from circular dichroism (CD), tryptophan fluorescence and 1-anilino-8-napthalene sulfonate (ANS) binding experiments suggest that the high concentration of synthetic crowding ... -
Marine macroalga Caulerpa: role of its metabolites in modulating cancer signaling
(Springer, 2019)Cancer, the leading causes of death worldwide, causes multiple metabolic and physiological alterations, leading to an unregulated proliferation of cells. The existing anticancer therapies are usually nonspecific with side ... -
Metabolic engineering in food crops to enhance ascorbic acid production: crop biofortification perspectives for human health
(Springer, 2022-04-19)Ascorbic acid (AsA) also known as vitamin C is considered as an essential micronutrient in the diet of humans. The human body is unable to synthesize AsA, thus solely dependent on exogenous sources to accomplish the ... -

Metformin inhibits human breast cancer cell growth by promoting apoptosis via a ROS-independent pathway involving mitochondrial dysfunction: pivotal role of superoxide dismutase (SOD)
(Springer, 2018)Purpose Despite a growing body of evidence indicating a potential efficacy of the anti-diabetic metformin as anti-cancer agent, the exact mechanism underlying this efficacy has remained largely unknown. Here, we aimed at ... -
Microbe-Assisted Bioremediation of Pesticides from Contaminated Habitats: Current Status and Prospects
(CRC Press, 2023-10-19)Pesticide use is expanding worldwide due to a continuous increase in agricultural intensification in order to meet the global food demand. The extensive use of pesticides and their persistence in the aquatic and terrestrial ... -

Micropropagation protocol for Salvadora oleoides
(Northeast Forestry University, 2019)Salvadora oleoides Decne. is a pharmaceutically important plant. Owing to poor seed formation, viability and, germination, and to anthropogenic disturbances, this species is on the verge of extinction. A reproducible ... -
Misconstrued versatility of Ganoderma lucidum: a key player in multi-targeted cellular signaling
(Springer, 2016)A Basidiomycetes fungus belonging to polypore family of mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum (GL), has been known since a long time for their myriad therapeutic indications. Renowned as an invaluable resource of cardinal ... -
Missing link between microRNA and prostate cancer
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)MicroRNAs are the non-coding RNAs which regulate endogenous gene expression in animal and plant cells. Alterations in the level of micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) involving the deletions, overexpression, mutations, ... -
Molecular assessment of invasive Carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii from India based on ITS-1 sequences
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016)This is the first report on the molecular systematic characterization of the invasive red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii in India. Cultivated for the production of carrageenan around the Gulf of Mannar, southeast India, this ... -
Molecular basis of transitivity in plant RNA silencing
(Springer, 2019)The discovery of small RNAs has offered exciting opportunities in manipulating gene expression. The non-coding RNAs cause target gene inactivation at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional or translational level. In ... -
Molecular characterization and differential expression of an aromatic heptaketide producing type III plant polyketide synthase from Himalayan rhubarb
(Springer, 2022-01-15)Rheum australe (Himalayan Rhubarb, Polygonaceae), an endangered medicinal and vegetable herb owes its age-old remedying properties to the bio-active phyto-constituents viz. anthraquinones, stilbenoids, chromones and dietary ...
