A growing body of research points to a positive interplay between viruses and plants.Tomato yellow curl virus (TYLCV) is able to protect tomato host plants against extreme drought.To envisage the use of virus protective capacity in agriculture, TYLCV-resistant tomato lines have to be infected first with the virus before planting.Such virus-resistan
Fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans Lour.) flower extract attenuates dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy through stimulation of PI3K/Akt pathway in C2C12 myotubes and C57BL/6 mice

Study on effectiveness of transfusion program in thalassemia major patients receiving multiple blood transfusions at a transfusion centre in Western India
Background : Children suffering from beta-thalassemia major require repeated blood transfusions which may be associated with dangers like iron overload and contraction of infections such as HIV, HCV, and HBsAg which ultimately curtail their life span.On the other hand, inadequate transfusions lead to severe anemia and general fatigue and debility.M
