CHENNAI: Indian Institute of Technology Madras Researchers have identified a sustainable and high-yielding alternative source for the anti-cancer drug Camptothecin . This novel microbial fermentation process can be an economically-efficient method of production to fulfill the market demand at a large scale. Topotecan and Irinotecan are two widely used anticancer drugs, which are produced by using Camptothecin as the lead molecule. More than a dozen derivatives and conjugates of Camptothecin are under various stages of clinical trials for anti-cancer applications. Camptothecin is an alkaloid isolated from the Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata and the Indian tree Nothapodytes nimmoniana. Nearly 1,000 tons of plant material is required to extract just one ton of Camptothecin. Due to extensive overharvesting to meet the market demand both these plants are now critically endangered. The N. nimmoniana population has seen more than a 20% decline in the last decade alone.

A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Wednesday barred aided school teachers and non-teaching staff from contesting Assembly elections. The Bench made the ruling while allowing a few public interest litigations seeking to prevent aided school teachers from contesting Assembly elections. The petitioners contended that though government teachers were barred from participating in political activities, including contesting Assembly elections, there was no such prohibition on aided school teachers. Allowing the petitions, the Bench held unconstitutional section 2 (IV) of the Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualifications) Act, 1951, which said that employees of non-governmental educational institutions would not be disqualified for being chosen as a member of the Assembly by reason only of his/her holding any office in any non-governmental educational institutions. The court made it clear that the declaration would be applied prospectively. Right to Education Act The ... » Learn More about HC rules against aided school teachers contesting Assembly polls

December 19, 2013 08:27 You Soo-hyun, the first Korean to become an instructor at the Culinary Institute of America's Singapore campus this year, lectured last week in front of 100 students at her alma mater, Kyunghee University. You said she spent countless days worrying about her future after graduation. The institute, which shares its initials with the Central Intelligence Agency, is headquartered in New York and considered one of the world's top three culinary schools along with France's Cordon Bleu and Japan's Tsuji Culinary Institute. It was no easy ride for You to land a teaching position at the Singapore campus. "My parents were against me becoming a chef," she said. "I graduated from Kyunghee and went to the CIA in New York but had to depend on my sister since I couldn't turn to my parents for help." Not only was the language barrier a problem, but it was tough coming up with more than W100 million (US1=W1,053) tuition. After graduating from the CIA, You ... » Learn More about High-Flying Chef Tells of Difficult Journey

Lee Mi-na, a graduate of Jeju University Law School, said she has kept in mind that studying is a lonely and intense process.

She then became a law undergraduate at Inje University at 15 and entered Jeju University Law School when she was only 18. "I tried my best, and fortunately the results have been positive," she says.

Lee ended up quitting school because ... » Learn More about The Youngest Person to Qualify as a Lawyer

The first big real-world study of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to be independently reviewed shows the shot is highly effective at preventing Covid-19, in a potential landmark moment for countries desperate to end lockdowns and reopen economies. Up until now, most data on the efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines has come under controlled conditions in clinical trials , leaving an element of uncertainty over how results would translate into the real world with its unpredictable variables. The research in Israel - two months into one of the world's fastest rollouts, providing a rich source of data - showed two doses of the Pfizer shot cut symptomatic Covid-19 cases by 94% across all age groups, and severe illnesses by nearly as much. The study of about 1.2 million people also showed a single shot was 57% effective in protecting against symptomatic infections after two weeks, according to the data published and peer-reviewed in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday. ... » Learn More about In boost for Covid-19 battle, Pfizer vaccine found 94% effective in real world

October 15, 2013 08:28 Chon Hee-kyung's life changed dramatically when her family emigrated to the U.S. when she was 11 years old. After graduating from high school, she came back to Korea to study mathematics at Korea University but gradually lost interest in the subject and tried to find something that she could enjoy. That is when she hit on the profession of interpreter. It seemed an ideal job for her as she spoke English and enjoyed meeting people. She then studied at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies' Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation. Now a freelance interpreter, she mainly offers services as a simultaneous translator for conferences and other events. Interpreters must be not only good at foreign languages but also at helping communication between people who speak different languages, Chon said. At conferences, her brain, ear and mouth do not rest while those on the podium speak. Even during meals, interpreters have to remain on their toes. ... » Learn More about The Trials and Rewards of a Simultaneous Translator

May 03, 2014 08:18 Actress Chun Woo-hee played a rebellious teenager in "Sunny" (2011) and a breadwinner looking after her younger sister instead of her errant father in "Elegant Lies" (2014). In "Han Gong-ju" (2014) Chun takes on the even more daunting role of a high school girl who is gang-raped by her male peers. "I sometimes regretted that I couldn't get my career going in an easier way as I kept getting offered complicated characters with hard lives who were difficult to portray. But I now believe that I was chosen because I have the ability to act well and deliver the right message," said Chun. "Han Gong-ju," directed by Lee Su-jin, was inspired by the true story of a middle school girl who was raped in Miryang, South Gyeongsang Province, in 2004.
