Study finds new discovery of mechanism that controls cell division
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Scientists at Umea University in Sweden have shown that the movement of a unique protein complex known as the Mediator along DNA genes may affect the process of cell division. The finding might be significant for next studies on the management of particular illnesses.

Remnant of cell division might be responsible for spreading cancer: Resear
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Once assumed to be the cell's trash can, a little bubble of biological debris, termed the midbody remnant, is packing working genetic material with the ability to affect the fate of other cells, even turning them into cancer

Study finds how microRNA therapy slows cancer tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The therapy, tested in mouse models, combines a delivery system that targets cancer cells with a specially modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule that acts “like the brakes on a car,” slowing or stopping cell division, said Andrea Kasinski, lead author and the William and Patty Miller

Study reveals the reasons why many IVF embryos fail to develop
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
New York [US], July 21 (ANI): A fertilised egg does not ensure successful reproduction in humans. Within days following fertilisation, the majority of embryos stop growing and die, typically due to an abnormally high number of chromosomes. The majority of these faults, according to new resea

Blocking fat storage might offer new way to treat most lethal form of brai
Updated : 5 years, 7 months ago IST
Ohio [USA], July 20 (ANI): Glioblastoma is a lethal form of brain cancer that accumulates fats in lipid droplets and uses them as energy for rapid cell division. Blocking an enzyme that GBM cells use to form the lipid droplets might offer a new way to treat this deadly disease, according to
