Hyderabad: A joint study by the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) has revealed a significant rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among bacteria causing eye infections, raising concerns about treatment effectiveness and patient safety. The study found that more than 45 per cent of bacterial samples collected from patients showed resistance to multiple antibiotics. This trend was observed across both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, ...Read More >
Itanagar, Apr 4: Researchers have identified three previously unknown species of rove beetles in Arunachal Pradesh, highlighting the state's vast yet underexplored insect diversity. The study, published recently in the journal Soil Organisms, documented three new species under the genus Megalopinus - Megalopinus arunachalensis, Megalopinus mithun, and Megalopinus micros. The findings were the result of a collaborative study conducted by scientists from Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) at Doimukh ...Read More >
New Delhi, Jul 5 (PTI) After a day off, astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla and others from the Axiom-4 mission on Saturday studied how bones react to microgravity conditions, an experiment that could lead to better treatment of osteoporosis on Earth. On the 10th flight day, Shukla also participated in an experiment to monitor radiation exposure on the International Space Station (ISS), which could help better protect astronauts on longer-duration space missions away from Earth. Lucknow-born Shukla (3 ...Read More >

Sharing the details on Friday, ISRO said Shux, who is also one of the four chosen astronauts for the Gaganyaan mission, has completed the microgravity experiment involving Tardigrades onboard ISS. "The study focused on their survival, revival a ...Read More >
Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will connect with Indian students and ISRO scientists from the International Space Station via ham radio. As part of the Axiom-4 mission, Shukla is conducting experiments, including studying space microalgae for sustainable food sources and gathering data on how microgravity affects cognitive and motor functions using VR technology.Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is set to interact with school students and scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from h ...Read More >
Bengaluru: Scientists from Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a simple, glowing paper sensor that could help detect liver cancer early -- using the green glow of a rare earth metal called terbium.The sensor works by detecting an enzyme called "β-glucuronidase", which is found in many living organisms. While it has normal biological roles, high levels of this enzyme are linked to liver cancer, as well as colon, breast, and kidney cancers, and even infections and AIDS."Traditional d ...Read More >
New Delhi: Biologic therapies are revolutionising severe asthma management, showcasing potential for remission, but cost and equitable access are the major barriers, according to a report on Tuesday. Biologic therapy, also known as immunotherapy, is a type of treatment that uses substances derived from living organisms to treat disease. The report by GlobalData, a data and analytics company, showed that the new Biologics target specific inflammatory pathways, shifting care from symptom con ...Read More >
