New strategy spikes creation of anti-toxin or antiparasitic mixes in actinobacteria Kumar Jeetendra | June 26, 2020 Scientists have built up a strategy to spike the creation of new anti-infection or antiparasitic mixes covering up in the genomes of actinobacteria, which are the wellspring of medications, for example, actinomycin and streptomycin and are known to hold other undiscovered compound wealth. The researchers report their discoveries in the diary eLife. The scientists needed …
Novel nanospectroscopy measures biomolecular changes induced by drugs in human cells Kumar Jeetendra | July 20, 2020 Synchrotron InfraRed Nanospectroscopy has been used for the first time to measure biomolecular changes caused by a drug (amiodarone) in human cells (macrophages) and localized at 100 nanometre scale, i.e. two orders of magnitude smaller than the IR wavelength used as probe. This was achieved at the Multimode InfraRed Imaging and Micro-Spectroscopy (MIRIAM) beamline (B22) …
Custom smartwatch tracks sedate levels inside the body continuously Kumar Jeetendra | August 8, 2020 Engineers in the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and their colleagues at Stanford School of Medicine have demonstrated that drug levels inside the body is able to be tracked in real time using a custom smartwatch which assesses the compounds found in sweat. This wearable technology can be incorporated into a more personalized approach to …

In 2021, with the beginning of the new grants awarded this month, it will have ten active grants. The year of 2020 marks a total of 327 researchers chosen …
New comprehension of physical properties of chromatin may show how genome is encoded and decoded Kumar Jeetendra | December 21, 2020 University of Alberta researchers have found an answer to a basic question in genomic biology that has eluded scientists because the discovery of DNA: Over the nucleus of our cells, is the complex package of DNA and proteins called chromatin a solid or a liquid? Previously, fields like biochemistry operated under the premise that chromatin …
A short-reduce in photosynthetic equipment can permit needles of pine bushes to live green Kumar Jeetendra | December 24, 2020 How do conifers which are used for example as Christmas trees keep their green needles over the boreal winter when many trees drop their leaves? Science hasn’t provided a good response to this question but now an international group of scientists, including researchers in Umeå University, has deciphered that a short-cut in the photosynthetic machinery …
Scientists grow new framework for direct location of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols Kumar Jeetendra | December 28, 2020 Researchers in the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), in collaboration with specialists from the University of Valencia (UV), have produced a new system based on a high-sensitivity mass biosensor that continuously monitors signals for the immediate detection of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental aerosols. The device, in prototype stage, makes it possible to appraise the quality of …
UH scientist attempting to recognize likely new therapeutic target for kidney sickness Kumar Jeetendra | January 14, 2021 In the past year, high serum suPAR levels also have been found to predict kidney and multiple organ failure in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. “FSGS is a particularly insidious kidney disease. In many patients, it inexorably leads to kidney failure and we don’t have much to offer to stop it, and worse still, in most …
Scientists find uncommon hereditary disorder that influences the brain, heart and facial highlights Kumar Jeetendra | January 21, 2021 Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered a new genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays and malformations of the brain, heart and facial features. Named linkage-specific-deubiquitylation-deficiency-induced embryonic defects syndrome (LINKED), it is caused by a mutated version of the OTUD5 gene, which interferes with key molecular actions in embryo development. The findings indicate …
