#Daak is here to compel you to think about the structures of cells to their functions in making a full organism to diseases that need understanding of cells to treat them. And amid all this, a reminder that science shapes civilizations. https://lnkd.in/grt2eZZe Cover art by Greeshma Murthati. CSIR India

About us
The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) is one of the constituent national laboratories of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research CSIR, the premier multidisciplinary Research & Development organisation of the Government of India. It was set up as a semi-autonomous Centre in 1977 in Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, became a full-fledged national laboratory during 1981-82, and was dedicated to the nation on 26 November, 1987 by the then Prime Minister of India late Shri Rajiv Gandhi. The ongoing research programmes at the CCMB are in three major categories - high quality basic research in the frontier areas of modern biology, research relevant to societal needs, and application-oriented research towards commercialisation. These include the areas of biomedicine & diagnostics, evolution & development, gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, host-parasite interactions, membrane biology, protein structure, bioinformatics, functional genomics, theoretical biology, etc. CCMB has also taken lead in the dissemination of modern biological information through popularisation of science, science education in schools, and has been a meeting point for art and science. In recognition of its contribution to modern biology, CCMB has been chosen as a Centre of Excellence by UNESCO Global Network for Molecular and Cell Biology MCBN and has been designated as a South Centre for Excellence for Research and Training by the Third World Academy of Sciences TWAS , Italy. Many prestigious international and national awards have come to CCMB including the CSIR Technology Award (twice) and FICCI Award for outstanding achievements in Science & Technology.

Kashmir gray langur's population size is estimated to be just 1844. The recent genetic study done on their population across the Kashmir Himalayas by Dr.Govindhaswamy Umapathy's lab shows very low genetic diversity and strong genetic isolation between sub-populations. This poses a significant risk to the long-term survival of this species. . The problem is likely to be due to landscape and topographic barriers that limit gene flow between sub-populations. The study emphasizes the urgent need for habitat connectivity to conserve the Himalayan ecosystems, particularly habitat specialist species. https://lnkd.in/gH9ftY27 #geneticdiversity #conservationbiology #LaCONES CSIR India

Actin polymerization represents a central process in biology. Yet, the existing methods of actin quantitation suffer from a number of drawbacks. In this review, Amitabha Chattopadhyay's lab discusses a quantitative high resolution confocal microscopy based approach that allows F-actin measurement using an image reconstruction method. It does not depend on the raw fluorescence intensity of the actin-binding probes. https://lnkd.in/g-jSnYYf Parijat Sarkar

Since COVID-19, advice on immunity are all around us. But we really need to still understand how immunity and infections work against each other. Here's a close account of Vishal Sah donning the hat of a virus researcher and a science communicator on COVID-19. https://lnkd.in/g-ti_uhU Cover art by Greeshma Murthati. #immunity #infections

Introducing the DRR Dhan 73 rice variety, jointly developed by ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research and us, and released by the Hon'ble Prime Minister this week. It is a derived line of high-yielding Samba Mahsuri rice that tolerates low soil phosphorus. This is the kind of crop we need to reduce input costs and chemical fertilizer-associated pollution.
