A recent study by researchers at the Central University of Punjab found abnormal platelet activity in Parkinson's disease (PD). Using the neurotoxin - rotenone - to simulate PD conditions, researchers shed light on why PD patients have a lower risk of ischaemic strokes and heart attacks, by focusing on the role of platelets in thrombosis.
Gaurav Sharma is an Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, Telangana.

Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB) bridges the gap between science and art, fostering curiosity and appreciation among young minds. The recent Carbon exhibition exemplifies this by using art to narrate the story of Carbon, facilitated by trained CARBON mediators who engage visitors in meaningful discussions about climate change and the multifaceted role of the element.
It is perhaps too well known to students, parents and educators alike that the Indian higher education system is highly competitive. While some competition may be unavoidable, the question is - are some aspects of this competitive environment unnecessary, or even toxic? In this article, biology researcher and educator Anil Kumar Challa, from the Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, Delhi NCR presents a perspective on why a collaborative environment is better than a competitive one.
