Glass frogs achieve pack red blood cells in mirror-coated liver: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
New research shows that glass frogs known for their highly transparent undersides and muscles perform their "disappearing acts" by stowing away nearly all of their red blood cells into their uniquely reflective livers.

Delaying antibiotics for neutropenic fever may not affect survival of canc
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neutropenia--low levels of white blood cells called neutrophils, which fight infection--develops in more than 80 per cent of patients who receive chemotherapy for blood cancer. It occurs because chemotherapy destroys neutrophils along with tumour cells.
