We are all made up of cells. And these cells come together to form tissue, we know this. But what keeps these cells together? How does this glue form and change to promote the functions of a tissue?

A scientifically robust method to estimate dhole numbers for the first time in India.
 

On National Science Day (Feb 28), we asked women scientists from across the country to reflect upon their experiences and tell us what it means to be one.

The sixth International Day for Women and Girls in Science was celebrated on 11th February, 2021, a day dedicated to recognising the critical role women and girls play in science and technology.

A new study has found that while Indian tigers have a high amount of genetic variation, some individuals are inbred.

Researchers who were part of a new study that dealt with Tiger genomes, while

The National Centre for Biological Sciences, a Bengaluru-based research organisation, has come out with a Covid-19 test that does not require a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) machine and can be altered to detect mutant strains of the virus.

The Habitats Trust and the Nature Conservation Foundation join NCBS to support and partner in the MSc Program in Wildlife Biology and Conservation. The unique program is a partnership between academic institutions and conservation NGOs. With a mission to build capacity for the conservation of India’s wildlife and natural ecosystems through high-quality training, the program is now working towards a consortium of partners to deliver and widen its mandate.

PHANTOM efficiently detects the presence of viral RNA in human patient samples, with clear distinction from samples designated negative for the virus. This diagnostic tool was developed using RNA biosensors to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA, based on “toehold switches”, sensors which can be designed to detect any sequence of interest.

Efficient detection of the virus that causes COVID-19 has been a question on the minds of many researchers worldwide since early 2020. NCBS researcher Dr Arati Ramesh, along with Dr Akash Gulyani from the University of Hyderabad, sought to tackle the pressing need for a rapid, accurate, and inexpensive testing method.
