Study reveals role of cholesterol in pain perception
Updated : 2 years ago IST
When you stub your toe or hit your head, you know that rubbing the area can help relieve the pain. But how? New research from the work of Scott B. Hansen, Ph.D., demonstrates how physical pressure on cells may reduce pain signals, whereas excessive cholesterol clumps in cell membranes can in

Lab-grown retinas explain why people can perceive colours that dogs cannot
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Researchers used human retinas grown in a petri dish to discover how an offshoot of vitamin A produces the specialised cells that allow us to see millions of colours, a talent that dogs, cats, and other mammals lack.

Study reveals proteins guide electrons to right place
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
Cells require energy to function. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg can now explain how energy travels through the cell by minute atomic movements to its target in the protein. Imitating the structural changes of the proteins may lead to more efficient solar cells in the future.
