    Can Contarct Farming Double Farmer's Income?
    (EPW, 2018) Kaur, P.; Singla, Naresh
    Following its mandate to double farmers’ income by 2022, the central government has enacted a separate model contract farming act in 2018 based on the perception that contract farming is one of the several pathways for doubling farm income. However, findings from primary surveys in Moga, Tarn Taran and Amritsar districts in Punjab, reveal that despite bringing in new crops, technologies and markets for farmers, contract farming excludes the smallholder farmers. Unless such arrangements can protect the interests of the smallholders who constitute almost four-fifth of India’s farming population, doubling farm income will remain elusive.

    Long non-coding RNAs involved in different steps of cancer metastasis
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-02-04T00:00:00) Suman, P.; Chhichholiya, Y.; Kaur, P.; Ghosh, S.; Munshi, A.
    Non-proteincoding transcripts bearing 200 base pairs known as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a role in a variety of molecular mechanisms, including cell differentiation, apoptosis and metastasis. Previous studies have suggested that frequently dysregulated lncRNAs play a crucial role in various aspects of cancer metastasis. Metastasis is the main leading cause of death in cancer. The role of lncRNAs in different stages of metastasis is the subject of this review. Based on in vitro and in vivo investigations on metastasis, we categorized lncRNAs into distinct stages of metastasis including angiogenesis, invasion, intravasation, survival in circulation, and extravasation. The involvement of lncRNAs in angiogenesis and invasion has been extensively studied. Here, we comprehensively discuss the role and functions of these lncRNAs with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Federaci�n de Sociedades Espa�olas de Oncolog�a (FESEO).
