Integrin-mediated adhesion regulates membrane trafficking to control anchorage-dependent signaling and growth that is deregulated in cancers. Downstream of integrins and oncogenic Ras, the small GTPase Ral, is a vital ...

Porosity is an important property of materials and observed in rocks, soils, biological tissues, ceramics, zeolites etc. The exquisite control over the order and functionality of porous architectures led to the design of ...

Mitochondrial structure is regulated by a dedicated machinery for fusion and fission. Recently mitochondrial architecture regulation is known to be involved in stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and the molecular ...

While a bit is the fundamental unit of binary classical information, a qubit is a fundamental unit of quantum information. In quantum information processing (QIP), it is customary to call the qubits under study as system ...

Living organisms possess the ability to tune themselves in response to various Intra and extracellular cues, which in turn creates an assortment of metabolites in the cellular soup. Metabolomics – the science that deals ...

This thesis presents a study in aspects of linearized perturbations of flat black strings and black holes in D dimensions. Main focus of the thesis is on analysis the non-spherically symmetric perturbations of these ...

Phosphoric acid doped benzimidazole membranes like poly[2,2-(m-phenylene)-5,5-bibenzimidazole] (PBI) and poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) have been investigated as fuel cell electrolytes to operate at elevated temperatures. ...

Propagation of a cell requires successful segregation of its genetic material into resulting daughter cells, a process brought about by the coordinated dynamics of cytoskeletal spindles. High resolution time-lapse microscopy ...

Environment- and conformation-sensitive fluorescent nucleoside analogs are very useful in studying the structure and recognition properties of nucleic acids. Although several structurally diverse nucleoside analogs exhibiting ...
