Graphene oxide nanoflakes lower toxicity of Alzheimer's proteins: Study
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
The collection of chemicals known as amyloid peptides is thought to be an early driver of Alzheimer's disease. These trigger cell death and are typically found in Alzheimer's patients' brains. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have now demonstrated that after being t

Study finds therapeutic target for removal of misfolded, unwanted proteins
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
When the UPS mechanism fails, cells engage in a compensatory protein clearance process known as "aggrephagy," in which protein aggregates are destroyed in a controlled manner by the cell.

Study provides more information on how diabetes can accelerate the growth
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
People with multiple myeloma, a blood malignancy of plasma cells in the bone marrow, have a poorer overall survival rate when compared to individuals without diabetes. This difference in survival due to diabetes was found in white patients in a subgroup analysis but not in black patients, ac

Researchers discover causes of liver cell scarring
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
When damaged liver cells are replaced by scar tissue, hepatic fibrosis results. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer can arise as a result of cumulative scarring that, over time, restricts the blood flow to the liver. When the condition is severe, there is no other course of actio

Inhibiting aberrant stem cell signals during ageing reduces bone loss: Stu
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Ageing results in an increase in a cellular signal necessary for the skeleton's development, which weakens bones, according to a new study in mice. The study, led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine, found that blocking the signaling pathway, called Notch, in aging skeletal

Study gives further insight into how diabetes may accelerate blood cancer
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
When compared to people without diabetes, those with multiple myeloma, a blood malignancy of plasma cells in the bone marrow, have a worse overall survival rate. According to a study published today in Blood Advances, this difference in survival related to diabetes was detected in white pati

Disease-causing stem cells in lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis: Stud
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Five lung stem cell variants predominate in the lungs of patients with advanced cystic fibrosis (CF), Wa Xian and Frank McKeon, two nationally renowned experts in cloning and stem cell science from the University of Houston report. These variants are responsible for important CF pathology fe

Researchers find how liver cells become scarring, worse
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Hepatic fibrosis happens when the liver's destroyed cells are replaced by scar tissue. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer may develop as a result of the liver's blood flow being disrupted over time by accumulated scarring. An organ transplant is the only option for treatment in

Stem cell therapy may lower progression of relapsing multiple sclerosis: S
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, or aHSCT for short, is typically used to treat blood cancers and involves collecting stem cells from the patient's own bone marrow or blood, followed by chemotherapy and antibody treatment
