Researchers from the Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology, Kerala, have recently uncovered one of the potential genetic links between cerebellum development and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. They found that a transcription factor called Tlx3 (T cell leukaemia Homeobox 3) plays a crucial role in cerebellum development in mice, highlighting its significance in autism development.

β-hCG, commonly known as the "pregnancy hormone," may hold promise as a positive prognostic marker in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Researchers at the Rajiv Gandhi Biotechnology Centre, Kerala, have been investigating the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis by BRCA1 gene, the mutations of which are strongly associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers.

Tuberculosis owes its persistence to the remarkable adaptability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Recent research from CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, has unveiled the critical roles of enzymes CysM and CysK2 in cysteine synthesis, a key process that enables Mtb to survive the host's immune defenses, offering potential targets for innovative TB treatments.

Scientists at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, have uncovered the molecular mechanism behind Gram-negative bacteria’s resistance to the drug PC190723, revealing how intra-molecular interactions in proteins, such as salt bridges, prevent the drug from binding effectively.

Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbai, have recently elucidated the neurocircuit mechanism of DOI (2,5‑dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine), a serotonergic psychedelic known to reduce anxiety. Their findings pave the way for emerging clinical research and potential therapeutic interventions targeting mental distress caused by anxiety.

Researchers at Jadavpur University, have developed a mathematical model that can predict the way psoriasis progresses during treatment, provide optimal treatment solutions and also calculate any future triggers.

Researchers, led by Sunil Laxman, Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine, Bengaluru, have experimentally shown that cells follow principles of economics when they encounter nutrient limitation. Their results provide an economic framework for prioritisation strategies used by cells on facing nutrient limitation.
