Novel device can add or eliminate sugar from proteins Kumar Jeetendra | March 12, 2021 Sugar has been called “evil,” “toxic,” and “poison.” But the body needs sugars, also. Sugar molecules help cells recognize and fight germs and viruses, shuttle proteins from cell to cell, and make sure those proteins function. Too much or too small can give rise to a range of maladies, including neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, …
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. …
