Agarwal S, Kaur S et al. suggested a therapeutic approach against COVID-19. They described that an elevated inflammation, thrombosis and apoptotic tissue damage in the lungs causes hypoxemia leading to a decreased oxygen pressure saturation (SpO2) in circulation of SARS CoV-2 infected animals. Alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) supplementation rescues the inflamed lungs to restore normal SpO2 by […]

The position of the nucleus within a cell is highly dynamic and changes frequently in response to internal and external stimuli. Proper nuclear positioning within a cell determines cell behaviour and fate and is regulated by the cytoskeleton which serves as a track along which this organelle moves. Movement of the plant cell nucleus towards […]

Weeds are the major concern in crop production, thus affecting the world economy and food security. Developing glyphosate-resistant (GR) transgenic crops has revolutionized weed management practices and significantly benefited crop production. However, the major concern is that glyphosate accumulates in the plant tissues and affects physiological functions, crop yield, and quality. Cytotoxic effects of glyphosate […]
