Hi @BOIndiaOfficial I had applied for the FTI-TTP (Application number TTPR1152D226). It’s almost 2 months now but haven’t received any communication on my application yet. Also wrote an email but received no reply. Kindly update the status.

Can light build centrosome-like activity? 💡🔬 We introduce LISA (Light-Induced Spindle Assembly), @emboreports By clustering Aurora A with optogenetics, we control centrosome-like microtubule nucleation that rescues spindle defects after centrosome loss. https://t.co/QtCYBGKJF7

🌍 From a Global BioImaging Community to India - A New Chapter Begins!

@IndiaBioImaging is proud to organize its first-ever Train-the-Trainer Course 🇮🇳 in collaboration with @GlobalBioImage @CanadaBioImaging & Light Microscopy Australia.

📍 IIT Hyderabad
📅 18–22 January 2027

[AIIMS, New Delhi 🇮🇳 @aiims_newdelhi]

Brain health isn't a concern for your 70s — it's shaped by the choices you make decades earlier. Experts explain why midlife is the critical window for dementia prevention, and what the evidence says about protecting cognitive health early: managing blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, addressing hearing and vision loss, prioritising sleep, and staying socially engaged.

Read more on why proactive brain health should start in your 40s, not after symptoms appear.
