basic science as well as its applications in industry and academia. Latest researches, agricultural Molecular Biology, business models,
pharmaceutical Molecular Biology, medical Molecular Biology, cancer biology, immunology, genetics, protein engineering,
plant and environmental technologies, transgenic plant and crops, bio remediation, and microbial diversity research will be the subjects of discussion.
Merck, one of the worlds most renown science and technology companies, summoned experts from worlds organizations such as UN, UNICEF, UNAIDS, World Obesity Federation and McKinsey at the the company’s headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany, to discuss questions about the most urgent threats to our children’s long-term health, or what can be done both inside and outside the classroom?

Have you ever found yourself craving a steak or a burger? The brain controls our feelings of hunger and also determines the types of nutrients we should be seeking out. Not much is understood about the brain’s regulation of nutrient-specific hunger, but in a new study published in Science, researchers identified the brain cells in fruit flies that regulate protein hunger and were able to control those cells, affecting what the animals ate. The study, was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health.
NIH-funded clinical trial shows use of either drug improved vision and had few side effects.
Long assumed to be a mere “relay,” an often-overlooked egg-like structure in the middle of the brain also turns out to play a pivotal role in tuning-up thinking circuity. A trio of studies in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health are revealing that the thalamus sustains the ability to distinguish categories and hold thoughts in mind.
National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded neuroscientists have created a 3D window into the human brain’s budding executive hub assembling itself during a critical period in prenatal development. What’s more, they used it to discover and experimentally correct — in a petri dish — defective cell migration caused by an autism-related disorder.
