Google Pay gets revised logo in India

New Delhi, Nov 07 (ANI): Tech giant Google's Pay app- Google Pay (formerly known as Tez and popularly called GPay) in India has been spotted with a colourful new logo. The new logo is currently live only for selected users. The existing Google Pay logo includes the 'G' and 'Pay'. It is only the Google logo that is multi-coloured. The new logo, on the other hand, doesn't seem to represent the payment app itself. The new blue and yellow 'u' half represents the 'G' and the green and red 'inverted u' half represents the 'P' in the Google Pay name. You just need to add a straight line in the middle to complete the letters. As reported by Mashable, the new Google Pay logo is in line with the company's new design and colour scheme for its products. It is minimalistic and representative of its identity. Long-time G Pay users will not be happy with the change though. It will take some time to get used to the new coloured Google logos instead of the more stylized ones from before. The new Google

Study suggests most humans are vulnerable to Type 2 diabetes

New Delhi, Nov 07 (ANI): Scientists have found that insulin has met an evolutionary cul-de-sac, limiting its ability to adapt to obesity and thereby rendering most people vulnerable to Type 2 diabetes. A recent study from scientists at Indiana University School of Medicine, the University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve University has determined that the sequence of insulin has become entrenched at the edge of impaired production, an intrinsic vulnerability unmasked by rare mutations in the insulin gene causing diabetes in childhood. The study exploits biophysical concepts and methods to relate protein chemistry to the emerging field of evolutionary medicine. Insulin is produced by a series of highly specific processes that occur in specialised cells, called beta cells. A key step is the folding of a biosynthetic precursor, called proinsulin, to achieve the hormone's functional three-dimensional structure. Past studies from this and other groups have suggested that impaired biosyn
