We are investigating extra hepatic cell population as a target of HCV in relation to neuropathogenesis in particular astrocytes which are brain resident cells expressing HCV receptor CD81. [3]
We have systematically described our findings and the possible repercussions of the previous studies which rely heavily on pleiotropic effects of protein transduction domains (PTD) or Tat protein (the transactivator protein from lentiviruses, notably HIV) which may not necessarily be true. [1]
Dr Ashok K Chauhan is a successful self-made industrialist and entrepreneur, the founder of India’s largest private university group and a dedicated philanthropist with a mission to help make India a global economic superpower. [...] My target is to equip each and every student of the Amity Institutions with the best education and infrastructure to help them achieve nothing but the best in life.

The HCV is an RNA virus, which produces chronic infection in humans and leads to acute hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatic cellular carcinoma and hepatic encephalopathy. [...] We have observed that Tat protein localizes permanently in the nucleus and nucleolus and therefore, is implicated in cellular gene regulation apart from HIV transcription. [3]
Our study has reported novel findings and highlights ingenious ways to improve the delivery of small therapeutic molecules using cell-penetrating peptides. [1]
The Amity Institutions have attracted a wealth of academic talent, and are acclaimed for quality, with the Amity Business School ranked among top private Business School for the last three years, and Amity University ranked number one private university in India. [2]
