Identification of Bacterial Strain from Waste Decay Material Using 16s rRNA Ribotyping
Abstract: Ribotyping is a classical technique in molecular studies where conserved and unique DNA sequences, more specifically 16s RNA, are investigated to differentiate among strains of microorganisms. This method was utilized in the current study to identify the strains of bacteria present in waste decaying matter. Waste material was collected from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi campus, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, and cultured for bacterial growth. Purified bacterial cultures were …

Morinda citrifolia Leaf Induced Leukemia Cells Apoptosis and Produced Synergistic Effects with Zerumbone
Abstract: Leukemia is the most common cancer among children and the 7th most common cancer worldwide. The vegetable Morinda citrifolia leaves was investigated and compared with Zerumbone (a known anti-leukemia compound) separately and in combination, for their apoptotic effects on murine myelomonocytic leukaemia cell line (WEHI-3B). Zerumbone, a sesquiterpene from Zingiber zerumbet was anti-cancer via suppressing free radical generation, inflammation, cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, anti-apoptosis, NF-κβ, Iκβα kinase activation and invasion. …

Significance of TE Domain and Genetic Variations in FASN Gene in Dairy Animals
Abstract: The interest in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene has increased during the last few years. FASN is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acid, and alteration of this enzyme may affect economic traits including fatty acid composition. FASN is involved in fat metabolism and is an important candidate gene affecting fat composition of milk because of its central role in de-novo lipogenesis …

A Study on Physiological Effect of Yoga Asana on Sleep
Abstract: Ahara, Nidra and Brahmcharya are the three main pillars of life. These play a vital role in maintenance of good health and longevity. Among these Ahara is responsible for physical, Brahmcharya for mental and Nidra for psychosomatic well-being. Mechanisation of world, advancement of science and technology has provided us a great range of comfort; this comfort has led to disturbances in normal Ritucharya and Dincharya. Increased use of various electronic …

The Interaction of Extracellular Matrix and Growth Factors
Abstract: The extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates cell behavior by influencing cell proliferation, survival, shape, migration and differentiation. ECM assembly is regulated by the 3D environment and the cellular tension that is transmitted through integrins. The hematopoietic microenvironment is a complex structure in which stem cells, progenitor cells, stromal cells, growth factors, and ECM molecules each interact to direct the coordinated regulation of blood cell development. Hematopoietic growth factors are any of …
