Peep inside cells, watch their molecules play and their extensions grow in this Daak. Pay attention to harmony among life forms and understand survival of the fittest in a new light. All of this and more, in this Daak: mailchi.mp/99471e58cff7/ccmb… @CSIR_IND

Indian population tapestry is fascinating coz of the rich socio-cultural landscape. K Thangaraj's recent work on Konkanis from Daman to Karwar helps us to understand their diversity. Also, break the myth that only men migrated from one region to another. theweek.in/news/india/2026/1…

How does our immune system respond when a virus enters? How do the cells even know that it needs to start making the immune proteins? @Chauhanlab_ILS's lab shows role of DZIP3 protein playing a role in this: thehindubusinessline.com/new… @CSIR_IND

Our brains constantly make sense of space and time. So much so that we sometimes act without consciously thinking. What really happens at the level of our brain cells? Upinder Bhalla explains us the space and time cells in the latest CCMB Conversations: youtu.be/-ZFv6k310-A?si=J5Eo…

At CSIR-IMTECH’s BERPDC division, Dr. Anirban Roy Choudhury (Scientist G) and his team aim to apply their expertise of bioprocess engineering, microbial biotechnology, and biomaterial formulations to develop technological solutions that benefit industry and society. Their research focuses on the fermentative production of various industrially significant biomolecules, such as microbial polysaccharides, enzymes, pigments, etc. They are also pioneering in advanced biomaterial preparations using polysaccharides and developing nano-nutraceuticals from fruit-industry waste. The key areas of research in his lab encompass: ◆ Industrial biotechnology: Advancing fermentation, process optimisation, and scale-up for commercially relevant biomolecules. ◆ Sustainability: Valorising industrial and fruit-processing waste into valuable bioproducts. ◆ Biomaterial innovation: Developing advanced polysaccharide-based materials, including hydrogel, nanogel, emulgel, etc., with multifarious applications. ◆ Health and nutrition: Nutraceutical formulations by enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of plant-derived polyphenols via green approaches. @DrJitendraSingh @CSIR_IND #CSIRIMTECH #BERPDC #IndustrialBiotechnology #BioprocessEngineering #MicrobialBiotechnology #Fermentation #Biomaterials #MicrobialPolysaccharides #CircularBioeconomy #NanoNutraceuticals #SustainableBiotechnology

Our 3rd annex campus at Bommaipalli in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri dist hosts the Super Rice program. A part of the 50 acres campus is for growing climate resilient varieties. Last week, rice grown here was distributed to 150 local farmers to grow & propagate the varieties themselves.

Viruses frequently destroy interferon (IFN)-signaling-cell's antiviral alarm system. Are there alternate mechanisms? New study from H Krishnan's lab shows there are. @CSIR_IND 1/2

New study from H Krishnan's lab finds that MAVS, known to coordinate IFN activation, also guards mitochondrial integrity. It allows the infected cell to mount an IFN-indpnt antiviral response that restricts RNA virus replication. journals.asm.org/doi/pdf/10.… 2/2

India has 9 species of kraits, and 6 of them are found in northeast India. But we use venom from only one of them to develop the polyvalent antivenom in India along representatives of cobras and vipers. The assumption is that venom all the krait species are similar enough. 1/2

Karthikeyan Vasudevan's recent work on 5 species of kraits in India shows that there is high variation between their venoms. This means areas like the northeast that have a lot higher snake diversity needs an antivenom that is equally potent. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 2/2
