Retroviruses attacking the koala germline add to high malignant growth rates Kumar Jeetendra | February 26, 2021 Koalas are facing multiple ecological and health issues which threaten their survival. Together with habitat loss – accelerated by last year’s devastating bush fires — domestic dog attacks and road accidents, they suffer from fatal chlamydial infections and extremely high frequency of cancer. The results are reported in the journal Nature Communications. The koala retrovirus …
INTEGRA’s electronic pipettes empower reproducible examination in microbial analysis Kumar Jeetendra | March 17, 2021 Bacterial evolution studies involve analysis of large sample numbers, requiring compact, reproducible pipetting processes to effectively characterize the qualities of different strains. Dr Astrid Altamirano-Junqueira, who completed her doctoral studies into the growth of bacterial motility in the School of Biological Studies at Reading University, discussed how these digital pipettes aided her research:”My focus was …
Intense openness of lung tissue to vape airborne lesserly affects gene expressionthan cigarette smoke Kumar Jeetendra | March 21, 2021 A new peer-reviewed study published in the journal Toxicological Research & Application reveals acute exposure of a 3D human bronchial tissue model to e-cigarette aerosol has minimal impact on gene expression in contrast to smoke from combustible cigarettes. The study included sub-cytotoxic vulnerability to cells in a 3D human bronchial model (MucilAirTM) to nicotine-containing vape …
Genetic variants that sway protein restricting in immune cells can cause autoimmune disease Kumar Jeetendra | April 17, 2021 Certain genetic variants that cause modified protein binding in immune cells, are also seen in people at high risk of some autoimmune diseases, new research has found. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Spain, and the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) discovered that specific genetic variants, which …
RNA secondary constructions can contribute strongly to gene guideline, research shows Kumar Jeetendra | April 22, 2021 A group of scientists from Russia studied the function of double-stranded fragments of the aging RNA and revealed that the interaction between distant areas of the RNA can modulate gene expression. The study was published in Nature Communications. At school, we learn that DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded, but that isn’t entirely true. …
Specific enzymes shield the human skin and body from microorganisms, viruses Kumar Jeetendra | May 22, 2021 The human body is constantly exposed to various environmental celebrities, from viruses to bacteria to fungi, but the majority of these parasitic organisms provoke little if any response from our skin, which is charged with monitoring and shielding from external dangers. Until now, researchers weren’t quite sure how that happened — and why our skin …
New gene expression organization can help understand component behind ceaseless stem cell activity in plant Kumar Jeetendra | June 11, 2021 An inter-university research group has succeeded in constructing the gene expression network behind the vascular development process in plants. They achieved this by doing bioinformatics analysis using the’VISUAL’ tissue culture stage, which generates vascular stem cells from cells. Within this network, they also found a new BES/BZR transcription factor, BEH3, which modulates vascular stem cells. …
Study recognizes specific immune cells that shape inhibitory neurons to control mind wiring Kumar Jeetendra | July 7, 2021 Every second our brains are exposed to a variety of signals, from the barking of a puppy to raindrops hitting the windows, and everything in between. Most of the time we ignore insignificant cues like the buzzing of a fly or the gentle rustle of leaves in a tree. We pay attention to the more …
Study recognizes master regulator behind the improvement of antibody delivering cells Kumar Jeetendra | September 24, 2021 The main regulator that controls the production of antibody-producing cells was identified in a research conducted by scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine. These findings offer new insights into the functioning in the immunity system. It also can help to understand how tissues form and how cancers are triggered. The study, which was published on September. …
The Significance of RNA Polymerase in Protein Synthesis Kumar Jeetendra | December 2, 2023 RNA polymerase converts DNA to mRNA during the production of proteins. Transcription and translation are the two processes involved in protein synthesis. Messenger RNA (mRNA) ribonucleotides are used by RNA polymerase to read DNA and create a complimentary copy during transcription. Significance of RNA Polymerase in Protein Synthesis Transcription of mRNA: Transcription starts when RNA …
The Role of RNA in Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis Kumar Jeetendra | December 21, 2023 A functional gene product, such as a protein or RNA molecule, is synthesized using the information from a gene, an event known as gene expression. In this regard, the DNA of the gene gets transcribed into an mRNA (messenger RNA). Then, eventually with translation, there takes place a transition from mRNA to a fully operating …
The Role of RNA in Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis Kumar Jeetendra | December 21, 2023 RNA (ribonucleic acid) has an important role in the process of gene expression as well as protein synthesis. Gene expression refers to the use of information encoded in DNA to direct the synthesis of functional gene products, specifically proteins. During this process RNA molecules act as intermediaries, they facilitate transfer of genetic information from DNA …
