We postulate that similar to bacteria, adult stem cells may also exhibit an altruistic defense
mechanism to protect their niche against external threat. Herein, we report mesenchymal stem …

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignancy among the Head
and Neck cancer. OSCCs are highly inflammatory, immune-suppressive, and aggressive …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative organism of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB)
now infects more than half of the world population. The efficient transmission strategy of the …

Tumor hypoxia and oxidative stress reprograms cancer stem cells (CSCs) to a highly
aggressive and inflammatory phenotypic state of tumor stemness. Previously, we characterized …

We postulate that similar to bacteria, adult stem cells may also exhibit altruistic defense
mechanism to protect their niche. Here, we provide preliminary data on the altruistic stem cell (…

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are under extensive research for their significance in
diagnosing cancer metastasis or post-therapy recurrence. CTC may also predict response to …

Tuberculosis is emerging as a major global health issue for the under-developed regions
across the world including India's North East. Importantly, the incidence of multidrug-resistant (…

Natural vaccination against pathogens are known to be achieved by herd-immunity ie
infected human host provide immunity to the community by spreading the pathogen. Whether, …

Background Head & neck cancer is the 4th cancer, and most of them are diagnosed late, and
treated with cisplatin monotherapy. In these subsets of patients, immunotherapy has been …

The mechanism of HPV16 induced malignant transformation of oral epithelial cells is not yet
clear. We speculated that HPV16 may induce stem cell altruism that reprogram specific …
