Embrophagy and Oophagy in sharks
We often say that competition starts soon after birth, but actually it starts from the womb of the mother or in an egg more exactly it starts from the embryo stage of the organism.
In sand sharks there are two uteri. In both the uteri numerous eggs are released simultaneously. Many eggs are fertilized. Fertilized eggs soon develop into the embryos. Freshly developed embryos start eating up the unfirtilized eggs. This phenomenon is called as oophagy. Healthy embryo also eats up the weak embryos which is called as embryophagy. Both oophagy and embryophagy are the examples of intrauterine cannibalism.
Finally only one embryo gets a chance to be born from each uterus.
For the Zoology students it is necessary to point here that according to J.P.Muller and Henle, sand shark comes in the systematic position as follows :
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Chondrichthyes
Subclass: Elasmobranchii
Superorder: Selachimorpha
Order: Lamniformes
Family: Odontaspididae
Genus: Carcharias
species: tarsus

HIV Research milestone
A kashmiri young scientist has proved himself by creating a milestone in HIV research.In what could turn out to be a game changer in
the fight against AIDS, a team of scientists from
The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have made
a vital progress in the field of antibody-based
HIV vaccine development, a study has shown.
Kashmir-born Raiees Andrabi is the first author
of a study published on Nov 17 as the cover
article of the journal Immunity that describes four
prototype antibodies that target a specific weak
spot on the virus.
With the help of these antibodies, the
researchers mimicked the molecular structure of
a protein on HIV when designing their own
potential HIV vaccine candidate.
“This study is an example of how we can learn
from natural infection and translate that
information into vaccine development,” said
TSRI Research Associate Raiees Andrabi, as
reported by eurekaalert.Org. “This is an
important advance in the field of antibody-
based HIV vaccine development.”
In addition to Andrabi, Dennis Burton was the
senior author of the study “Identification of
Common Features in Prototype Broadly
Neutralizing Antibodies to HIV Envelope V2
Apex to Facilitate Vaccine Design.”
James E Voss, Chi-Hui Liang, Bryan Briney,
Laura E McCoy of TSRI, IAVI and CHAVI-ID;
Pascal Poignard of TSRI and IAVI; and Chung-Yi
Wu and Chi-Huey Wong of the Genomics
Research Center, Academia Sinica and TSRI
were the other authors.

Welcome message
Dear internet users and students! i am glad to launch my second blog as one of my blogs already have been launched and made available for internet users.During my studies I was very much curious about my career and I had a craze to take such innitiatives so that I could serve the world in a better way.I had and still still have no aims or ambitions,but the only thing in my mind is that whatsoever I will be,I will try to be best in my service.Neverthless now-a-days I work as a private school teacher and its my pleasure to be in such a precious field.I have stated making and developing these blogs to share knowledge with my students and other intrnet users.
U can contact me on my e-mail "mudassir.mirchi@gmail.com.
Thanks
