In a recent study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali, have studied the mechanism behind the phase separation of the tau protein fragment that forms characteristic aggregates associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Nanomaterials are revolutionising the way we do things with applications in medicine, electronics and biocompatible materials, to name a few. Scientists are studying various nanoforms of carbon—nanotubes, nanocones, nanohorns, two-dimensional graphene and even carbon onions! Now, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have added a new form to this list called nano carbon florets. These nano-sized florets, shaped like marigold flowers, have much more than just good looks to flaunt; they can help keep the environment clean by removing harmful heavy metal pollutants from industrial effluents. In a study published in the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials, Prof C Subramaniam and his team from the Department of Chemistry have designed nanocarbon florets that can remove up to 90% of pollutants containing arsenic, chromium, cadmium and mercury.
Prostate cancer occurs when the cells of the prostate gland—a male reproductive organ—start growing abnormally due to the elevated level of androgens. Androgens are hormones required for development and maintenance of the male reproductive system.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) approaches are the present-day buzzwords finding applications in a host of domains affecting our lives. These approaches use known datasets to train and build models that can predict, or sometimes, make decisions about a task. In one such case, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), Mumbai, have in a recent study, developed ML approaches using molecular descriptors for certain types of catalysis that could find use in several therapeutic applications.
Chemogenetics is a technique that uses chemicals to understand how neurons are activated. It manipulates genes to place the neurons under the control of special receptors called DREADDS. Short for Designer Receptors Activated by Designer Drugs, these receptors only bind to an inert chemical called Clozapine-N-Oxide (CNO). In a recent study, researchers from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, and Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru, point out specific flaws in this technique.
मनुष्यों में, एक स्वस्थ गर्भावस्था लगभग ४० सप्ताह तक रहती है। हालांकि, दुनिया भर में अनुमानित १.५ करोड़ बच्चों का जन्म लगभग ३७ सप्ताह से पहले ही हो जाता है। अपरिपक्व जन्मों से जुड़ी जटिलताओं के कारण प्रत्येक वर्ष लगभग दस लाख बच्चे मारे जाते है एवं यह पाँच साल से कम उम्र के बच्चों में मृत्यु का एक प्रमुख कारण है। भारत में हर साल लगभग ३५ लाख बच्चे जन्म लेते हैं। भ्रूण
ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಓದುವುದನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಕಲಿತೆವು ಎಂದು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡರೆ- ಮೊದಲಿಗೆ ನಾವು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಅಕ್ಷರ ಹೇಗೆ ಉಚ್ಚರಿಸುವುದು ಎಂದು ಕಲಿಯುತ್ತೇವೆ. ನಂತರ ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಪದ(ಗಳು) ಮತ್ತು ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಲು ಕಲಿಯುತ್ತೇವೆ. ಆದರೆ, ನಾವು ಓದಲು ಕಲಿಯುವಾಗ, ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆದುಳಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವ ರೀತಿಯ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಗಳಾಗುತ್ತವೆ ಎಂಬುದು ಇನ್ನೂ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ.
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune; and Florida State University, USA; have mathematically computed a multidecadal variability in the Indian summer monsoon rainfall and the global sea surface temperature. They have established that Indian monsoon rainfall exhibits a 67-year oscillation and is closely linked to the sea surface temperature cycle, which also shows a similar 67-year swing. The study also shows that 80% of all droughts have occurred in the rainfall cycle’s ‘negative phase’, associated with a below-average rainfall; whereas 60% of all floods have occurred in the positive phase, marked with above-average precipitation. Their findings have been published in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society.
An international study, led by researchers from the USA, which also included researchers from India, have designed a point-of-care testing approach for individuals suffering from TB. The study, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and supported in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, proposes a rapid, cost-effective, and readily accessible triage test kit that can be used at the site of patient care.
