New study explains why diabetic individuals' wounds heal slowly
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
A new Nano Today study headed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC discovered that people with diabetes had faulty exosomes, which can cause inflammation and slow down wound healing. Exosomes are nanoparticles that transport signals between cells.

Researchers suggest Musashi-2 controls skeletal muscle composition
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.

Study sheds light on why diabetic patients' wounds heal so slowly
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
A recent Nano Today study led by University of Pittsburgh and UPMC researchers found that diabetic individuals had faulty exosomes, which can lead to inflammation and impair wound healing. Exosomes are microscopic particles that shuttle signals between cells.

Study gives more insight into head, neck cancer patients resistance to che
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Two new genes have been discovered by Queen Mary University of London researchers that render people with head and neck cancer resistant to chemotherapy. Cancer cells that were previously resistant to chemotherapy can now respond to it by silencing one of these genes.
