A recent study highlights how genetic changes in epigenetic regulator genes shape immune responses in bladder cancer, potentially guiding more personalised therapies.
A new study by CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology indicates that minor mistakes while synthesising proteins can be advantageous for cells under stress by enabling them to sense and react to toxic molecules. This establishes how nature achieves precision and yet remains flexible, enabling cells to evolve and modify themselves even in very adverse conditions by way of precision-tuned molecular mechanisms.
In the rise of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens and infectious diseases, vaccines are a potent global health solution. Vaccines mimic the pathogens to train the immune system. The training allows the immune system to be quickly activated in the event of a real infection by the pathogen. Notable recent examples are vaccines against COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. While this was one of the greatest achievements in the history of vaccine development, the quest for vaccines against many pathogens has been challenging, resulting in little success. Why has that been the case? I will take you through one such example that I study; the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria.
Open Access (OA) publishing continues to expand the visibility and impact of life science and biomedical research emerging from India. By enabling immediate and unrestricted access to scientific findings, OA articles are helping accelerate knowledge exchange globally and support wider societal application of research. This column highlights selected OA studies published by Taylor & Francis journals over the past few years, across plant biology, microbiology, environmental science, nanotechnology, and allied fields. Each featured article offers insights into scientific challenges with direct relevance to India and beyond.
