Heterologous expression and characterization of mutant cellulase from indigenous strain of Aspergillus niger

This paper reports the mutagenesis and heterologous expression of a cellulase from Aspergillus niger, showing enhanced enzymatic activity and stability.

LRRC23 truncation impairs radial spoke 3 head assembly and sperm motility underlying male infertility

This study identifies LRRC23 as a critical component of the RS3 head in mammalian sperm, showing that its truncation leads to defective flagellar motility and male infertility.

The Host miR-17-92 Cluster Negatively Regulates Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV) Replication via miR-92a by Targeting the Viral Genome

This study shows that the host miR-17-92 cluster, particularly miR-92a, suppresses MMTV replication by targeting its genome, and MMTV subverts this by reducing miR-92a expression during tumorigenesis.

Spatial autocorrelation dimension as a potential determinant for the temporal persistence of human atrial and ventricular fibrillation.

The paper investigates whether the spatial autocorrelation dimension (Di) predicts the time to termination of human atrial and ventricular fibrillation.

Indigenous Reduction of Multi-drug Resistant Bacterial Pathogens in a Natural Uncontrolled Fermented Milk Ecosystem

This study assesses the microbiological safety and antibiotic resistance of raw milk and dahi, finding reduced pathogen prevalence and inhibitory effects in dahi due to fermentation.

Acute and chronic toxicity assessment of benzylpenicillin G residues in heat-treated animal food products

This study assesses the acute and chronic toxicity of benzylpenicillin G residues in heat-treated animal food products using a mouse model, finding reduced LD50 and organ damage at high exposure levels.
