Although antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major biomedical challenge, early and often subtle adaptations that precede high-level resistance remain poorly understood. Current surveillance and diagnostic frameworks ...

Protein folding is a heterogeneous process in which multiple conformational sub-populations coexist within unfolded, intermediate, and native ensembles. However, the molecular determinants that give rise to this heterogeneity ...

Initial synthesis of porphyrins were driven by its biological significance. The synthesis of biologically relevant porphyrins are challenging owing to its complex substitution pattern. So, over the years, many artificial ...

This thesis examines the governance of cultural heritage in postcolonial India through a detailed study of the pluralistic legal and regulatory landscape, with Maharashtra as a central case study. Heritage in India is ...

Chiral hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites, comprising chiral organic cations and lead halide frameworks, combine chirality with semiconducting properties. The present thesis work explores 1D and 2D hybrid lead halides, ...

This thesis explores the transport of particles and fluids through soft micro- and nanochannels with spatiotemporally undulating walls, a problem that sits at the intersection of biological transport and the design of ...

The intimate correlation between crystal structure and physical properties continues to be a central topic in condensed matter physics. Subtle structure modifications often lead to pro- found changes in electronic, magnetic, ...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation has emerged as a regulator of virtually all RNA functions across the domains of life. Among the numerous important functions of m6A, regulation of pluripotency to balance its ...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a pandemic metabolic disorder affecting ~537 million adults globally, with ~783 million projected by the year 2045. Type 1 DM (T1DM) and type 2 DM (T2DM) are the two major forms of DM and have ...

Electrochemical processes at the electrode–electrolyte interface are broadly divided into charge-transfer and charge-storage phenomena. Charge-transfer reactions, controlled by electrocatalysts, constitute the core of ...
