The New Blood Group 'INRA'













Usually there are 4 or 5 blood groups to be known namely A,B,O,AB and rarely Bombay or HH blood group. The Bombay blood group are named after its discovery in the city Bombay (now called Mumbai city)discover by the Dr. Y.M. Bhende in 1952  and this is the first time India become a parent of the new and rarest type of blood group.

It is obvious,Bomby blood group is the first blood group found in India but not the least "because discovery never stops" This saying fix here perfectly,A person with new & rare blood group is found in Lok Samparn Raktdan laboratory, Surat, Gujarat. The person’s blood group doesn’t match with any other A, B, O, AB and also Bombay Blood Group or also called as HH Blood Group. The new blood group is named as INRA; the first 2 letters represent India (IN) & the next two name of the person (RA).

INRA blood group is identified for the first time when the person visited for donating blood in Blood Camp. The blood sample was previously tested in the local labs and when they identified the blood group very different from the existing Blood groups, they sent it to WHO(World Health Organization) for further testing. WHO has also confirmed the new rare blood group was found first time in India.

In medical terms, people with this rare blood groups are called as “Coltal”. The person with INRA Blood group can’t donate and can’t receive blood from people with any other blood groups. And there are only 7 people in the world whose blood samples are not matching with any other blood group. Doctors are conducting blood test on donors relative to know its origin.


Because the research still going on the answer of certain fact is not exposed yet such as biological importance and uniqueness of the INRA. whenever I got the information this post will be updated.

Autophagy: A Nobel Prize Topic

        Introduction The word autophagy is derived from Greek words “auto” meaning self and “phagy” meaning eating. Autophagy is a normal physiological process in the body that deals with destruction of cells in the body. It maintains homeostasis or normal functioning by protein degradation and turnover of the destroyed cell organelles for new cell formation. During cellular stress the process of Autophagy is upscaled and increased. Cellular stress is caused when there is deprivation of nutrients and/or growth factors. Thus Autophagy may provide an alternate source of intracellular building blocks and substrates that may generate energy to enable continuous cell survival. History Autophagy has been known for over 50 years but its fundamental importance in physiology and medicine was only recognized after Yoshinori Ohsumi's paradigm-shifting research in the 1990's. For his discoveries, he is awarded this year's Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.

Artificial Cancer-Killing Virus

It is the genome of an oncolytic virus, it is 34,000 base pairs long, and it is 100% artificial. It’s important because it not only has immediate application in studies of canine cancer, it also promises to inform the development of human therapies. In these human therapies, artificial viruses could be customized to such an extent, that they could qualify as personalized anticancer therapeutics.  It is not the first time that oncolytic viruses has engineered but earlier virus like Herpes simplex and Oncorine(H101) are also being used.  The virus in question in sCAV2, a conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAd) that can target and kill tumor cells while sparing healthy cells. It was synthesized by scientists affiliated with Gen9, who worked in concert with scientists representing Autodesk and Auburn University. At Auburn, scientists led by Bruce Smith, V.M.D., Ph.D., intend to use the synthetic virus to evaluate therapeutic treatments in dogs with osteosarcoma, a
