Study reveals how ultrasound is promising technique for treating cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Ultrasound is a potential cancer treatment tool. Unlike laser light, which is employed in photodynamic cancer therapy, ultrasonic waves may penetrate deep into tissue (up to 12 cm) to treat deep tumours while causing no harm to healthy cells.

New method of protein identification aids in drug development: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Depending on the type of cell, all living cells contain proteins with different functions. The researchers at the University of Gothenburg have figured out a technique to recognise proteins even without looking at their structure. Their method is faster and easier as compared to previous one

Study gives more insight into development of infection-fighting immune cel
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
With its complicated network of proteins, cells, and organs, the immune system guards the body against intruders like bacteria, viruses, or tumours. Cytotoxic T cells, specialised immune cells that destroy malignant or infected cells in our bodies, can transform into transient effector cells
