Isoflurane and urethane are commonly used anaesthetics to immobilize rodents in functional studies including those looking at brain cells. But what if the anaesthetics impact these cells? That's what Anant Patel's team found out. @CSIR_IND

Some glimpses of One Day as a Scientist at CCMB, Hyderabad. Events like these remind us how students from faraway cities and other states also come to us for an exposure to science.
Inspired by PM @narendramodi’s Mann Ki Baat, the #OneDayAsAScientist initiative by #CSIR–Jigyasa gives students a chance to experience the life of a scientist firsthand. Students:.✔ Visit CSIR labs.✔ Interact with scientists.✔ Witness live experiments.✔ Learn how science

Last two days to apply for the meeting. If organellar proteins excite you, don't miss the opportunity!.@CSIR_IND.
Proteins are mostly made in cytoplasm and find their way into an organelle in the cell. What modifications do they need to survive this journey & function faithfully? in the new environment. On this and more on organellar proteins by global experts, join:.

Living cells are the master optimizers of resources they have. Here is an example of mistakes in protein translation possibly helping cells detect stressful conditions and bolster its protective mechanisms. @SomdattaKarak writes on work by @jotingogoi in @DrSankarCCMB's lab.
New research from @ccmb_csir reveals that tiny mistakes in protein synthesis might actually help cells survive stress! . These "errors" could trigger protective responses and boost adaptability. 📖 Written by @SomdattaKarak. Read the full article:
