Item Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (VDR) and steroid receptor status in breast cancer patients(SRHU, 2024-10-01) Dogra, Ashok KumarBreast cancer ranks as the foremost prevalent cancer worldwide, and a rising burden has been associated with it for the past couple of years. In India, every year, approximately there are 100,000 new breast cancer diagnoses. A receptor for Vitamin D (VDR), belonging being a family of nuclear receptors for steroid hormones, contributes a key role in the biological function of calcitriol, an active form of vitamin D. Several Epidemiological studies have shown associations between breast cancer and the VDR gene polymorphisms, yet no conclusive results were obtained. Also, apart from these studies, the role of VDR gene polymorphisms in relation to steroid receptor (estrogen and progesterone) status is still limitedItem Exploitation of microalgae for bioproducts production using dairy effluent(SRHU, 2024-10-07) Dhillon, NishaThis study investigates the potential of microalgae in the sustainable remediation of dairy effluent, emphasizing the generation of valuable biomolecules. Dairy effluent, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace metals, serves as an excellent medium for cultivating microalgae, which play a dual role as bioremediators and producers of compounds such as lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. The study focuses on autochthonous microalgal strains isolated from dairy effluent, exploring their capacity for waste-to-bioproducts transformation.
