The evolution of tumor-immune interactions from tumor protective to tumor promoting, has been of recent interest in the field. The immune system plays a significant role in the tumor initiation, promotion/maintenance, and ...

Evidence suggests that cancer is a multistep process. Of these processes, activation of oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressors play a significant role in tumorigenesis. Yorkie/YAP signalling pathway has been well-studied ...

Understanding the variability of aerosols in troposphere over the South Asian region is highly essential since aerosol in this region plays a vital role in the modulating Indian summer monsoon. The rapid increase in the ...

Variation, genetic or morphological, in populations of species is affected by many ecological parameters. In plant species, typically, population size, density, reproduction strategy, pollination and seed dispersal ...

Functional traits are measurable traits which infers about plant response to different environmental cues. Functional traits are measured at the level of an individual, but give an opportunity to scale up the study to the ...

Style length polymorphism is a floral polymorphism characterised by the presence of two or three floral morphs in a population which differ in style length. The positioning of anther and stigma within and between flowers ...

Mollusks are one of the most widely studied phyla used as paleoclimatic proxies. One of the primary drivers of terrestrial diversity is the latitudinal gradient. However, here we focus on marine mollusks to see how ...

Numerous computational problems on graphs remain computationally intractable and are termed NP-complete problems. In this thesis, we study one of the ways to tackle this issue: we restrict the input graphs by specifying ...

Viscoelasticity of single protein molecules is essential to fully understand their dynamic properties and functions. It is also believed that the initial collapse in protein folding is governed by their viscoelasticity. ...
