CSIR scientists find viral strain circulating in India has 70% similarity with major strain around the world

Scientists of the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CSIR-CCMB), Hyderabad, who have analysed more than 2000 genomes of the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, have found that the clade or genetic group circulating in India has 70% similarity with the major strain around the world. The similarity in viral genome globally means a vaccine or a drug targeting the mutation in A2a clade will work with … Continue reading CSIR scientists find viral strain circulating in India has 70% similarity with major strain around the world

Ground Improvement Technique to Mitigate Liquefaction Hazards for Safe Building Construction

Soil liquefaction and its associated ground failures during an earthquake are major potential hazards. The important aspect of geotechnical earthquake engineering is to mitigate liquefaction and its associated effects for assuring the safety of foundations. There are different ground improvement techniques available for improving the liquefaction resistance of sand deposits. Ground improvement techniques such as sand compaction piles, stone columns, encased stone columns and prefabricated … Continue reading Ground Improvement Technique to Mitigate Liquefaction Hazards for Safe Building Construction

High throughput viscoelastic particle focusing

Passive particle manipulation using inertial and elasto-inertial microfluidics have received substantial interest in recent years and have found various applications in high throughput particle sorting and separation. For separation applications, elasto-inertial microfluidics has thus far been applied at substantial lower flow rates as compared to inertial microfluidics. In this work, we explore viscoelastic particle focusing and separation in spiral channels at two orders of magnitude … Continue reading High throughput viscoelastic particle focusing

Endonuclease increases efficiency of osteoblast isolation

Bone is a highly dynamic organ that undergoes remodeling equally regulated by osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. To clarify the regulation of osteoblastogenesis, primary murine osteoblasts are required for an in vitro study. Primary osteoblasts are isolated from neonatal calvariae through digestion with collagenase. However, the number of cells collected from one pup is not sufficient for further in vitro experiments, leading to … Continue reading Endonuclease increases efficiency of osteoblast isolation

Antifreeze protein from Ammopiptanthus nanus

In this research resercher discuss about the Temperature stress restricts in plant growth and development. Antifreeze protein (AFP) can improve plants antifreeze ability. In our previous study, the AnAFP gene cloned from Ammopiptanthus nanus was confirmed to be an excellent candidate enhancing plant cold resistance. But, AnAFP protein shared similar structures with KnS type dehydrins including K, N and S domains except ice crystal binding … Continue reading Antifreeze protein from Ammopiptanthus nanus
