Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
The story behind work "Unleashing the ultrasonic frequency as a preparative parameter in tailoring the surface morphology and hence charge storage in Co3O4:MnO2@CoMnO3 composite flexible electrodes for supercapacitors"
The Electrochemical team of Clinical Pharmacology laboratory is focusing on the biosensing and point of care device development. Present work is an additional apsect study. Apart from application of material to electrochemical detection and quantification of drugs, it can store energy too!
Decoding the Hidden Microbiome Behind Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Our study provides the first comprehensive meta-analysis of the breast tissue microbiome in triple-negative breast cancer. By uncovering distinct microbial players, we highlight how these microbes may fuel cancer aggressiveness and open the door to microbiome-based therapies
New study reveals diversity of blue carbon in mangrove soils across geomorphic settings
The nature of mangrove soil carbon varies significantly depending on the coastal landscape where mangroves grow. These findings challenge the "one-size-fits-all" approach to mangrove conservation and restoration for blue C, with major implications for climate policy & mangrove restoration projects.
Association between sickle cell disease and autoimmune diseases in Saudi population
Although previous studies in the Saudi population have examined a number of autoimmune diseases, no study in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has examined the coexistence of sickle cell disease and autoimmune diseases.
Shining a Light on Indian Orthopaedics: A Look at the Research That's Changing the World
Our recent study, published in the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics (IJO), takes a deep dive into this very idea.
A Simple Equation for a Long-Standing Challenge in Ocean Science
We rely on P-I models to scale phytoplankton light response into global primary production, yet half of the time photoinhibition disrupts the picture. Current models either sidestep or mischaracterize this phenomenon, introducing hidden uncertainty into climate-relevant estimates.
When cancer cells get squeezed: discovering how physical forces shape metastasis
Cancer’s deadliest trait is its spread. Millions of tumor cells enter the bloodstream daily, yet only a few survive and seed metastases. Why these rare cells succeed, while most perish, remains one of cancer research’s greatest mysteries.
Optically Programmable Array of Transducers
Phased Array Transducers (PATs) are used to shape ultrasound. They require complex electronics and are hard to scale, which limits their ability to form sophisticated patterns. Here, we introduce an analog platform that uses light to address transducers and thereby shape ultrasound wavefront.
Cholesterol Shapes How the Brain’s Neurotransmitter Transporter for Serotonin Works
New research shows that membrane cholesterol fine-tunes serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine transporters—affecting neurotransmitter recycling, drug responses, and potentially brain disorders.
Lingonverse: Micropropagated Berry Intelligence
Scientists custom-develop new, powerful forms of artificial intelligence (AI) to help farmers and agricultural scientists grow these berries better. Think of it like giving them a super-smart assistant that never gets tired.
