Study finds how surgery can prevent abdominal aneurysms
Updated : 3 years ago IST
When the artery that supplies the stomach and liver bulges and ruptures, 50 percent of patients die before they reach the hospital. This "silent killer," known as abdominal aortic aneurysm, killed Albert Einstein and is responsible for nearly 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Rese

Artificial intelligence examines cell movement under microscope
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Analysis has historically been limited by the vast amount of data that may be collected by employing a microscope to record biological activities. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the University of Gothenburg researchers can now track the movement of cells throughout time and place. The t

Tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer driven by stress-tolerant cells: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A molecular mechanism important for the development of pancreatic cancers has been found by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The mechanism could possibly contribute to the disease's great resistance to treatment and proclivity for metastasis.

Study finds new cellular component important for sense of smell
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
In the neurons that our noses utilise to detect smell, scientists at Umea University in Sweden have found a previously unidentified cellular component called an organelle. The discovery may spur more studies into the COVID-19 symptom of poor smell perception.

Cardiac progenitor cells generate healthy tissue after heart attack
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Following a heart attack, the human body is incapable of repairing lost tissue due to the heart's inability to generate new muscle. However, treatment with heart progenitor cells could result in the formation of functional heart cells at injured sites. This new therapeutic approach is introd

Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers at Umea University in Sweden have discovered a previously unknown cellular component, an organelle, inside neurons that we use to perceive smell. The discovery could lead to more research into impaired sense of smell, which is a common symptom of COVID-19.

Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Besides the skin, the digestive tract is the tissue that is most exposed to environmental influences such as bacteria and viruses. Therefore, cells that form these barriers to the interior of the body also have special defence mechanisms. A research team led by Professor Dr Thorsten Hoppe ha
