Dr. Kanury Rao Launches a book – At The Doorstep To Moksha

Image
  Dr. Kanury Rao , an eminent Indian scientist recently ventured into the world of literature where he launched a book,   At The Dorsteps of Moksha . The book is a light-hearted attempt to establish a difference between two contrasting ideas. Authored by   Dr. Kanury Rao , it perfectly describes the word Moksha by a fictional story.   At The Doorstep To Moksha   perfectly focuses on human society and it’s emotional action upholding past and standing alone beholding like “ghettos”. The concept, the structure, the storyline of the book have been aptly laid by  Dr. Kanury Rao . The book isn't preachy and does not feel subjective. By weaving in the story of Gururaj and some defining moments and people in his life the topic breathes life. The entire book follows a more conversational form of storytelling and this makes it an easy read despite the topic being heavy (showing instead of telling). The descriptions are very vivid and make it feel like it's happening in front of our eyes.

Can Kid's Immune System Better Deal with COVID-19 than that of Adult?

Image
No clear evidence may have been found indicating whether adults or children can deal better with illnesses like coronavirus. Therefore, a few things can be observed to understand when a kid or an adult may be able to face the symptoms of COVID-19 in a better way. According to Kanury Rao , one of these things is to consider experiences. The next important thing to look at is the regular habits of both kids and adults. The immunologist hints that when these two things are assessed, one can understand who can better deal with the virus and its effects.   How Kids or Adults Deal Better with Coronavirus?   In some situations, kids can respond better to coronavirus. In other instances, adults’ immune systems can generate better responses. Who can respond better in a situation can be determined by looking at the individual’s experience, habits, and immune response.   1. Experiences   Both kids and adults can be vulnerable to COVID-19. Concerning who can better deal with it, im

What is Developmental Immunology? Kanury Rao Explains

Image
  It is interesting to note that there is a field of immunology that looks at the immune system right from birth. This field can be understood as developmental immunology. A number of processes are seen when this field is focused on by immunologists, as is explained by Kanury Rao. Further, he has said that for knowing that an individual's gut is healthy or needs improvement, understanding developmental immunology becomes vital.   Who is Kanury Rao? Kanury Rao is an Indian Immunologist and was the head of Drug Discovery Research Centre at the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute Faridabad. Mr. Rao is also known for his studies in the field of peptide synthesis and cell signaling and the design of synthetic peptide vaccines.    Understanding What Developmental Immunology Means When the immune system of a human develops, it is studied as a part of developmental immunology. Immunologists have come to opine that several factors are involved when this system

Vitamins that can Prevent Coronavirus and Major Illnesses

  Medicines should be relied on for curing a major illness as well as symptoms as extreme as that of COVID-19. The immunologist, Kanury Rao , has said that there are also certain vitamins that can speed up the recovery process. Among all, there are at least 3 vitamins that coronavirus patients should include in their regular diet. They are inclusive of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and vitamin D. The benefits of these vitamins can prepare your body to fight various symptoms of the virus and severe illnesses.   1. Vitamin C for Fighting Cold   The intake of vitamin C can be the best for the prevention of cold. Cold is the most common symptom of coronavirus. It should not be forgotten that this symptom can be easily developed as it is communicable. Therefore, preventing or healing it is important. Mr. Rao, the immunologist, has said that when this symptom has occurred, you can easily heal it with vitamin C-rich foods. This vitamin has the ability to work as an antioxidant. Consuming thi

Strengthening Your Immunity for Aging Changes

Image
 As your body ages, there emerges a need to increase its immunity. Over years, your body can begin to receive certain symptoms that may weaken your immune system. You may have seen elderly men and women easily fall sick or get affected by several disorders. The continuing of these symptoms or disorders can invite more risks to their bodies. It has been said by Kanury Rao that reducing these symptoms or disorders can help the elderly to live healthily and for a long duration. However, to achieve the same, strengthening the immune system should be thought of.   Why Prepare Your Immune System to Deal with Aging Changes   In your immune system, the thymus is a vital organ. This is the organ in which immune cells develop. T cells and T lymphocytes are certain examples of these cells. As you cross the period of adolescence, this organ becomes smaller. When you start to age, the size of this organ considerably reduces. This change can have an effect on the development of the immune cells

What are the Different Forms of Cell Signalling?

Image
  Cell signaling is a process of communication. This process can be of different types. Among its main types, paracrine signaling, autocrine signaling, and endocrine signaling are included. The immunologist,   Kanury Rao , has said that these types or forms of signaling help in the communication of cells but certain differences are present. Kanury Rao is one of the best Immunologist who has explained about the different forms of cell Signalling, Kanury Rao is an award winning immunologist and has dedicated a lot in Science Field for India. As you read more, you will be able to identify what these differences are and how they initiate communication among the cells. 1. Paracrine Signaling When cells communicate, a chemical messenger is produced in order to do so. These messengers can be understood as ligands. They help in diffusing with the availability of space among the cells within a body. These cells lie close to each other. Thus, these messengers are able to help in initiating the c
