New study sheds light on growth of human triple negative breast cancers
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Basal-like breast cancers, also known as triple-negative cancers, are a particularly aggressive subtype of breast cancer with limited treatment options. Although the origin of luminal (cells that line the surface of the breast duct) and basal subtypes of breast cancer is unknown, studies sug

Researchers discover the cause behind skin inflammation
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
UV light is very high in energy. When it hits the skin, it can therefore damage important cellular molecules, sparking inflammation as a common consequence. The skin serves as a crucial barrier against viruses and environmental stimuli because it is the biggest organ in the human body. The r

Researchers find gut-brain connection for social development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behaviour, new UO research in zebrafish shows. Pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.

Scientists identify vital mechanisms controlling skin regeneration
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is constantly turning over to replace dead or damaged cells throughout our lifetime. Skin stem cells need to continuously make decisions: either make more copies of themselves (self-renewal) or switch their fate towards differentiation. The molecular m

Research: AI tailors artificial DNA for future drug development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
How our genes are expressed is a process that is fundamental to the functionality of cells in all living organisms. Simply put, the genetic code in DNA is transcribed to the molecule messenger RNA (mRNA), which tells the cell's factory which protein to produce and in which quantities.
