16. Intestinal Bypass and Total Parenteral Nutrition: Changes in Gut Function and Morphology
Abstract : Abolition of enteral nutrition is sometimes required in severe illness. The primary aim of the present work has been to elucidate possible changes in intestinal morphology and motor function in absence of enteral nutrition. Total absence of enteral nutrition in an isolated intestinal segment was created by bypassing the distal ileum in a rat model. READ MORE

17. Functional Relevance of Homeostatic Intrinsic Plasticity in Neurons and Networks
Abstract : Maintaining the intrinsic excitability of neurons is crucial for stable brain activity. This can be achieved by the homeostatic regulation of membrane ion channel conductances, although it is not well understood how these processes influence broader aspects of neuron and network function.

18. Generalised stacking fault energy and plastic deformation of austenitic stainless steels
Abstract : Austenitic stainless steels are primarily known for their exceptional corrosion resistance. They have the face centred cubic (FCC) structure which is stabilised by adding nickel to the Fe-Cr alloy. The Fe-Cr-Ni system can be further extended by adding other elements such as Mn, Mo, N, C, etc. in order to improve the properties. READ MORE

19. Modeling receptor induced signaling in MSNs : Interaction between molecules involved in striatal synaptic plasticity
Abstract : Basal Ganglia are evolutionarily conserved brain nuclei involved in several physiologically important animal behaviors like motor control and reward learning. Striatum, which is the input nuclei of basal ganglia, integrates inputs from several neurons, like cortical and thalamic glutamatergic input and local GABAergic inputs. READ MORE

20. Regulation of cellular plasticity and extracellular vesicle secretion in breast cancer
Abstract : Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic process controlling the transition of cells between epithelial and mesenchymal states in various physiological or pathological conditions. In cancer, EMT promotes cell dissemination and metastatic colonization, enriches tumors with stem cell populations and confers resistance to anticancer therapy. READ MORE
