Indian scientists identify 114 genetic variants linked to oral cancer
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Oncology, has also revealed key genetic signatures that can predict survival in oral cancer patients with over 90 per cent accuracy. Further, the analysis of mutations gave out a list of unique genes associated with 114 novel variants, of which 35 were oncogenes, 11 were tumour suppressors, and 2 DNA damage repair genes.

With the increasing burden of Covid patients, straining hospitals and healthcare workers, other diseases were neglected. In many hospitals, the OPDs were shut and surgeries were put on hold. According to a study published in the journal Lancet Oncology in May last year, between March 1 and May 31, 2020, the number of new patients registered decreased to 54 per cent, patients who had follow-up visits decreased to 46 per cent, chemotherapy decreased to 37%.

With this new study, created in collaboration with mathematician Neelakantha Bhanu, Bumble discovered that the average Indian dater can expect to meet multiple 'The Ones' throughout their lifetime. According to a recent internal study, the pandemic has empowered 66 percent of people in India to determine their own dating timelines, as single people prefer to date at their own pace and time. The App hopes that by launching this campaign, it will be able to debunk outdated dating norms and encourage its community to be open to new opportunities and date as their authentic selves in 2022.
How Omicron escapes from antibodies
According to Sasisekharan, the traditional approach of only examining changes in the virus' genetic sequence reduces the complexity of the spike protein's three-dimensional surface and doesn't describe the multidimensional complexity of the protein surfaces that antibodies are attempting to bind to.
