Pune (Maharashtra) [India], December 6: Colon cancer, often referred to as the "masked killer," lurks unnoticed in the shadows, wreaking havoc on countless lives worldwide. According to WHO, Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 10% of all
A study found that pathogens can use physical force to defeat a cell's defence mechanisms. The study found that pathogens can avoid being ingested by immune cells by exerting a "propulsive force."
Salk researchers identified a way to repair destroyed nerves in mice during peripheral neuropathy. They discovered that the protein Mitf aids in the activation of the repair function of the nervous system's specialist Schwann cells.
Cardiologists and radiation oncologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis pioneered the use of radiation therapy, a cancer-fighting technique, to treat patients with ventricular tachycardia, a potentially fatal abnormal heartbeat.
Researchers discovered a new signalling pathway connected with the development of ventricular fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat.
Each year, more than 3 million people in the United States suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a condition in which nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord are destroyed, resulting in pain and loss of feeling in the afflicted areas. Diabetes, injuries, genetically inherited disease, infe
Researchers discovered how genetic abnormalities in particular types of brain cells may lead to the inflammatory response found in Alzheimer's disease.
The research team discovered that low-dose radiation therapy appears to enhance heart function in various forms of heart failure after analysing the cardiac effects of radiation in a small number of these individuals and modelling the effects of low-dose radiation in mice with heart failure.
A new signalling mechanism associated with the development of ventricular fibrillation, a kind of arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, has been uncovered in a study headed by Guadalupe Sabio and Jose Jalife at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid.
