Scientists discover new role of small RNAs in Salmonella infections
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Salmonella is a food-borne pathogen that infects millions of people each year. These bacteria rely on a complex network of genes and gene products to sense environmental conditions. Researchers investigated the role of small RNAs in helping Salmonella express their virulence genes in a new p

Stem cell population identified is vital for bone regeneration: Research
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Researchers have identified a subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow that express the marker CD73. These cells have a higher potential for proliferation and differentiation, and play a significant role in bone healing, migrating to the site of a fracture and developing in

COVID-19 vaccines prior to infection reduce transmission of Omicron: Resea
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
A study in California prisons found recent vaccination and boosters reduce infectiousness, but Infection risk remains high. Vaccination and boosting, especially when recent, helped to limit the spread of COVID-19 in California prisons during the first Omicron wave, according to an analysis b

Mirror image molecules reveal drought stress in forests
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
As with pinene, many monoterpenes occur in two mirror-image forms: (+) alpha-pinene and (-) alpha-pinene. Plants can release both forms of these volatile molecules directly after biosynthesis or from storage pools in leaves. Because the two chiral or enantiomeric forms have identical physica

Study reveals importance of key proteins for dynamic control of photosynt
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Plants are frequently grown for research purposes under stable lighting, which does not mimic natural conditions. Researchers revealed the importance of two key proteins for the dynamic control of photosynthesis in a series of experiments with changing light conditions, simulating the natur
