Researchers at National Brain Research Centre at Manesar, Gurugram, have now filled the gap. They have developed a human-based model that could help study how brain develops, particularly about neurons and what goes awry during brain development.
India’s plan to focus on two national-level programmes to build genomic data of the population and crops is expected to help the country in developing per- sonalised drugs, tackle disease and increase yield in crops, experts said.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-Madras) have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to convert brain signals of speech impaired humans into language, the Institute has said. The researchers can potentially interpret nature’s signals such as the plant photosynthesis process or their response to external forces.
The new vaccine is ready for release and commercial production will be completed in less than a year. The vaccine would be the best choice for use in the CSF Control Programme (CSF-CP) already launched by DAHD (CSF-CP).
The pilot plant at CSIR-NCL can produce as much as 500 grams a day and is scalable to any desired production rates. The international market price of silver nanowires of different sizes (20 to 100 nanometer diameter) varies from Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 43,000 per gram.
Scientists from Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI) have come up with a solution to fix this problem. They have developed an integrated process through which they have extracted bio fertilizer from waste human hair. They have also isolated melanin and keratin from it.
After north Telangana and Kapra lake in the city, smooth-coated otters have now been spotted near Gundlapally of Nalgonda district. The mammal is listed as an endangered animal by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The new gene was identified from samples of Kinema, a naturally fermented soybean food product found in Sikkim himalayan region of India.
The team led by Aloke Kumar, an assistant professor from the mechanical engineering department at IISc, took up the research on manufacturing bricks using LSS given that prospects of in situ resource utilisation — using local resources available on Moon — have gained favour for proposed habitat projects on Moon planned by different agencies around the world.
Biotech Consortium India Limited has come out with an offer for commercialization of a new technique that promises to help prolong the shelf life of probiotics.
