Recurrent joint bleeding in hemophilic patients can lead to a painful condition of hemophilic arthropathy. Prof. Jayandharan Rao & team have identified, using a hemophilia mice model, key molecules that could be responsible for rapid degeneration of joint cartilage. The study opens up possibilities of using these as potential therapeutic targets to check the disease progression.

Multi-Drug-Resistance (MDR) poses a serious public health concern; Prof. Sandeep Verma and team in a collaborative effort have come up with a rationally designed cationic peptide conjugate that displays effective antibacterial activity against clinical MDR S. aureus. The study paves way to develop inhibitors for severe staphylococcal infections.

Prof Jonaki Sen talks about her recent study on forebrain development in chick embryo. Prof. Sen discusses how her team identified novel downstream mediator of retinoic acid signaling required for invagination of forebrain roof plate, and how this study could help better understand certain defects leading to cerebral malformation in humans.

GPCRs represent one of the largest family of cell-surface receptors regulating a plethora of cellular events and biological processes. In a collaborative study, Prof. Arun Shukla & Prof. Stephan Grzesiek, their teams demonstrate how multi-site phosphorylation controls interaction of GPCR or Chemokine Receptor with Arrestin. The study paves for better understanding of the diversity of GPCR signaling and developing potential intervention strategies.

How diverse phosphorylation patterns in GPCRs influence recruitment, activation, & functional outcomes of its interacting partners is key to a comprehensive understanding of GPCR Biology. Prof. Arun Shukla & team, in a seminal study, using Cryo-EM have identified a novel motif in GPCRs that is critical for interaction and activation of its key molecular partner, the beta-Arrestins. The study paves way for design of novel intervention strategies targeting GPCR signalings.
