The only way to endure the summer is to grab an ice popsicle and indulge in the cool and important findings that have come out of CCMB in the last month. The Daak will take you through lives of wildlife around us to the workings of living cells: mailchi.mp/d4b035959fa7/ccmb… @CSIR_IND

Did you also think that river water going into the seas is a waste of the water? If so, Jagdish Krishnaswamy will make you rethink it as he takes us through understanding water bodies around us in the latest CCMB Conversations with @SomdattaKarak: youtu.be/MuQRTm5mC94?si=Z0Zo…

Karthikeyan Vasudevan's lab looks for better solutions to snakebites in India.This is in line with National Action Plan for Prevention & Control of Snakebite Envenoming's aims to reduce snakebite-related deaths and disabilities by 2030.But we lack info of burden in villages 1/3

So, Vasudevan's lab comprehensively assessed India's rural mortality, morbidity and, the economic burden of snakebites in a district in Telangana by working with ASHA workers. mdpi.com/2072-6651/18/6/250 2/3

The study highlights the importance of a bottom-up approach of documenting the burden at the village levels through ASHA workers and other locals that can be collated to estimate at a national level. 3/3

Structural biologists use exceptional machines to look at minute details of living cells. Why should we bother about such depth? @ShantanuVisal writes on how this helps us understand the working of biomolecules better and thus, make better drugs. Read on: scitales.ccmb.res.in/zooming…

लॉयन-टेल्ड मकाक की बढ़ती संख्या एक अच्छी खबर लग सकती है, लेकिन क्या ये वास्तव में सुरक्षित हैं? 🐒🌿 @ccmb_csir और University of Mysore (@uom_icd) के 40 वर्षों के अध्ययन में सामने आया है कि चाय बागानों और आबादी वाले क्षेत्रों में बढ़ती मौजूदगी इनके प्राकृतिक आवास पर बढ़ते संकट का संकेत है। @DrJitendraSingh @CSIR_IND @GVRayasam #OneDayOneStory #LionTailedMacaque #WildlifeConservation #Biodiversity #InternationalTeaDay

Climate change has brought fungal diseases to the fore. Millions die of fungal diseases each year especially in countries like India. And, yet our expertise in diagnosing and treating these diseases is limited, and needs a strategic focus. @SomdattaKarak writes for @the_hindu.

Summer is here, so is the tiger tourism season. The latest study by @gupathy's group gives us ways to design a sustainable tourism model. Their paper based on tiger stress in 5 major Indian tiger reserves suggests different ways of reducing tiger stress: telanganatoday.com/indias-fi…

Join Sindhu Radhakrishnan on how our relationships with monkeys and other primates have shaped over time. From once being our playful mischievous neighbours to now crop-raiders, monkeys help us reflect of our place in the overall ecosystem too. youtu.be/hkuBYI4AjqI?si=Iv7E…

Megha Kumar’s lab with Vegesna Radha shows that Rapgef1 plays essential role in early brain, face and muscle development and may help to explain the origins of certain birth defects. The findings come from using zebrafish embryo as a model system. link.springer.com/article/10…

Malaria pathogen P falciparum & closely related T gondii contain secretory organelles. These are crucial for parasite migration, host cell invasion exit, & disease development. These make secretory organelles a promising way to control the parasites' spread in our bodies. 1/3

@sijwali_puran's lab has discovered a protein called VMP1, and showed that it is essential for the formation and function of the secretory organelles. It is necessary for lipid mobilization across membranes, which is a key requirement for membrane function and communication. 2/3
