Laser tool magnifies bacterial genotypic alteration as a colony phenotype
Gene manipulation tools are routinely used to create genetically engineered bacteria to understand the function of a gene or its role in pathogenesis in case of an infective microbe. Genetic engineering and manipulation of genes have been
Neurons share the same destiny irrespective of their location: A closer look at PP-MS pathogenesis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, caused by the reaction of immune cells against myelin, a membrane that surrounds the axons of nerve cells. MS is characterized by the presence of inflammatory
