Cancer stem cells: Promising targets for anti-cancer therapies?
Why are cancers so difficult to treat despite the development of potent chemotherapeutic interventions? The persistence of cancers arises from the ability of tumours to evade conventional anti-cancer therapies. This characteristic of cancers is attributed to the presence of cancer stem cells within a tumour. Cancerous tumours contain several types of cells, a small subset […]

Relieving cellular tension: a switch to promote wound healing How does the skin heal wounds? The wound healing process involves a regulated sequence of biochemical events which is set into motion when there is an injury.What signals the skin to turn on wound healing response when it becomes injured? Understanding the signals responsible for initiating […]

Dr Diya Binoy Joseph, faculty at iBRIC-inStem has been awarded the DBT-Wellcome Trust India Alliance Early career fellowship to study the “regulation of immune defenses and homeostasis at the urethral barrier
Dr. Diya Binoy Joseph’s laboratory in the Centre for Inflammation and Tissue Homeostasis at inStem studies epithelial defenses employed by the urinary tract in fighting against infections. Lower urinary tract infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, mostly E. coli, pose a significant healthcare burden. The rampant use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multi-drug […]

Dr. Sudarshan Gadadhar was awarded the IA Intermediate Fellowship
Dr. Sudarshan Gadadhar was awarded the IA Intermediate Fellowship, June 2022. His program explores the “Role of tubulin posttranslational modifications in regulating primary cilia functions in wound healing and tissue homeostasis” Mammalian primary cilia control organ functions by being a hub of key cellular signalling pathways. They are also important for proper cell migration and […]
