1)Interstitium: One of the argest largest organ discovered in human body:- Scientists have discovered a new organ in the human body which they have dubbed the ‘interstitium’.
The new organ is known as the Interstitium and it is found everywhere in our bodies, acting as a shock absorber in all places where tissues are moved or subjected to force.
The organ is a network of interconnected, fluid-filled spaces all over the body and is made up of both strong (collagen) and flexible (elastin) connective tissue proteins, with interstitial fluid moving throughout.
Interstitial spaces are organized by a collagen “mesh”, can shrink, expand, and “may thus serve as shock absorbers.”
The new work is based on the use of a relatively new technology called a “probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy” or pCLE.
2)Anandibai Gopalrao Joshi: She was India’s first female doctor and first woman to obtain a degree in western medicine.
Why in news? Google Doodle celebrated her 153rd Birthday on March 31st. Anandi Joshi was born on 31st March 1865 in Maharashtra.
3)‘Sarmat’:
What is it? It is Russia’s most advanced nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile. It was flight-tested recently.
NATO has named this missile as ‘Satan 2’.
4)Ultra-clean petrol, diesel in Delhi from today: Ultraclean Euro-VI grade petrol and diesel, at no additional price, will be supplied in the national Capital from Sunday in a bid to combat alarming levels of air pollution in the city.
Delhi will be the first city in the country to leapfrog from EuroIV grade petrol and diesel to Euro-VI.
5)March 31 is observed as a day dedicated to the transgender people and raising awareness on discrimination faced by them.
6)Kalamkari art museum comes up :- A Kalamkari art museum was inaugurated in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh.
This is India's First Museum dedicated to Kalamkari Fine Art.
About Kalamkari: Kalamkari or qalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile, produced in Iran and India.
Its name originates in the Persian,قلمکار which is derived from the words qalam (pen) and kari (craftmanship), meaning drawing with a pen.
7)Metro service under the river:- The twin cities of Kolkata and Howrah, on either side of river Hooghly, will be soon connected by a metro service, part of which runs under water. The first tunnel Connecting Howrah and Kolkata is ready.
8)Microbes help in making hydrocarbons:- Scientists at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, have succeeded in engineering the metabolic pathway of Escherichia coli in such way that it would synthesise hydrocarbons of carbon chain length 15 and 17, which are the fundamental components of diesel.
9)A new biological ‘switch’ :- Scientists have discovered a new metabolic process in the body that can switch off inflammation.
They found that ‘itaconate’ a molecule derived from glucose acts as a powerful off-switch for macrophages, which are the cells in the immune system that lie at the heart of many inflammatory diseases.
