Research: Scientists may study thrombosis without use of animal models
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A novel apparatus that resembles a human vein might be useful for blood clot research and could replace the use of animals in some tests. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have created the vein-on-a-chip model, which may be applied in studies to better comprehend the mechanics unde

New medicine found for treatment of heart failure, sleep apnea: Study
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The drug, known as AF-130, was tested in an animal model at Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland where researchers found it improved the heart's ability to pump, but, equally important, prevented sleep apnoea, which itself reduces lifespan (see Nature Communications).

Molecular mechanism involved in development of type 2 diabetes: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The study has described --in patients and animal model samples of type 2 diabetes-- a decrease in mitochondrial proteins that synthesize complex subunits of the respiratory chain. This decrease in proteins is associated with an increase in intracellular nitric oxide which, according to the r

Study: Solution for imbalance in gut microbiome that worsens 'Graft versus
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A study discovered that changes in the gut microbiota are associated with an increase in oxygen levels in the intestine after immune-mediated intestinal injury. Reducing intestinal oxygen levels pharmacologically eased the microbial imbalance and reduced the severity of intestinal illness.
