We eagerly await @ICMRDELHI 's approval for our dry swab testing method for #COVID19 . #NeedoftheHour is faster testing methods without compromising on sensitivity. And this method is expected to save both time & money at current sensitivity.

We show an alternate technique using RT-nested PCR, equally sensitive as RT-qPCR. This method needs a simple PCR machine. This increases the possibility of many more labs doing COVID-19 tests thereby expanding testing capacity. (1/2) @SivakumarPraka2

Journalists, please take note. There is no data for us to yet say that the new virus population (Clade A3i) among Indians is any more or less dangerous than the other virus population (Clade A2) present here.

Pluripotent stem cells can divide in 2 ways. They either give rise to more stem cells or specialized cell types & tissues of the body. The decision between the two is regulated by a protein named Nanog. A new paper by Chandra Shekar's lab @emboreports shows how this happens. 1/n

It's time we pay attention to hygiene in shared toilets. They are notorious for spreading many microbial infections. And fluid dynamic studies now warn against the dangers of formation of aerosols containing the coronavirus, after an infected person flushes the toilet.

Both D and L amino acids are present in our cells. Though D aa have important physiological roles, they are not used in building proteins. How does the protein building machinery know to choose one over the other? @kuncha_santosh et al review the current understanding, here.
