Effects of neural precursor / forward cells’ abnormal migration 30/10/2022   Neural cells   derived from patients with bipolar disorder (BD) show a difference in the way they migrate as compared to controls, finds a study. This difference may contribute in a fundamental way to brain tissue repair and assembly. The neural tube 1 Brain development starts In early during pregnancy.  This starts with a single layer of cells that roll up to form a tube called the neural tube.  The brain develops at one end of this neural tube. It is a process that takes up many cell divisions as well as cells migrating through large distances. 2 “ The trajectories वक्र पथ of migrating neural precursors lay the foundation for the developing brain.  The speed and direction of migrating cells can alter the regional cellular make-up, and, therefore, the wiring of cortical / outer layer of the cerebrum areas,”  The key result of the work is that the neural precursor cells derived fr...

Addressing north India’s burning issue sustainably 21/10/2022   The monsoon has receded, and North India is bracing for a smoggy winter .  1  And with that the feverish अत्‍यधिक उत्तेजित focus on crop stubble burning has returned to India’s public discourse.   2  Like each year, discussions have begun on how bad this year’s stubble burning season will likely be and what potential ad hoc techno-fixes could solve the issue — in the short term. A problem that is historic 1  We will soon read in-depth analyses of satellite image-derived counts of the number of fires observed on each day,  2  and source apportionment बँटवारा studies that determine the exact contribution of stubble burning to poor air quality.  3  The purportedly कथित रूप से apathetic farmer who cares little about the well-being of Delhi’s urban citizenry will be held to a high standard of environmental stewardship प्रबंधक, and the inevitable political mudslinging बदनामी will ...

The Seven Moons Of Maali Almeida book review: In war-torn Sri Lanka, a ghost probes into his own death The story begins when Maali wakes up dead, trapped in a place of Kafkaesque bureaucracy, the In Between.  ‘Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living,’ wrote Arthur C. Clarke, the sci-fi author who made Sri Lanka his home for several decades. From 1983 to 2009, the island nation saw a bitter civil war. According to estimates, the dead numbered around one lakh – making it a place overpopulated with troubled spirits. This underworld forms a parallel universe in Shehan Karunatilaka’s second novel, The Seven Moons Of Maali Almeida. Ten years ago, his sparkling debut, Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew, won a slew of prestigious awards – the Commonwealth Prize, the DSC Prize, the Gratiaen Prize – and was adjudged second among the best cricket novels ever written by Wisden. It told the tale of an alcoholic retired spo...
