2. Detecting changes in climate and atmospheric composition with tracers in Arctic ice caps
Abstract : Changes in climate and atmospheric composition over decades to a hundred thousand years have been studied by extracting records of various tracers from two Arctic ice cores. A seven metre long ice core of superimposed ice was recovered from the Storöya ice cap in north-eastern Svalbard. READ MORE

5. Genetic Variations in the NLRP3 Inflammasome : Susceptibility Factor for Chronic Inflammation
Abstract : NLRP3 has been recognized as one of the key components of innate immunity. Upon activation, NLRP3 forms a multiprotein complex called as the ‘inflammasome’ which leads to the activation of pro-inflammatory caspase-1 which subsequently results in the formation of Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18.
