India’s economy rebounded strongly in 2nd half of year
The Indian economy has rebounded strongly despite three significant Covid-19 waves, the US Treasury said in a report to the Congress on Friday. India’s acute second wave weighed heavily on growth through the middle of 2021, delaying its economic recovery, the Treasury said in a semi-annual report. “However,…
Binding of the HSF-1 DNA-binding domain to multimeric C. elegans consensus HSEs is guided by cooperative interactions
The heat-shock response is represented by a small set of genes in C. elegans We initially aimed at identifying those HSE-containing promoters that are most strongly upregulated under heat-stress conditions. Given that the HSR is complex in nematodes we used data from several heat-shock studies based on microarray and RNAseq…
Bispecific antibodies | Scientist Live
Bispecific antibodies: rising stars in antibody therapeutics Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are important therapeutic agents for the treatment of many human diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and viral infections.
