Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer's disease in old age: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible type of dementia, is the most common neurological illness in the world. Age is the most important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, although why is unknown. Myelin, the insulating membrane that surrounds nerve cells in the brain, is known to deteriorat

Memory killer cells may improve melanoma patients' chances of survival: St
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Long-lasting killer cells are present in our skin and act as a defence against intruders. Researchers from Denmark's University of Copenhagen and Sweden's Karolinska Institutet have now discovered how these cells are formed and demonstrated that higher concentrations of memory killer cells i

Study finds details on molecular mechanism that prevents cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Apoptosis is essential for human life, and its disruption can cause cancerous cells to grow and not respond to cancer treatment. In healthy cells, it is regulated by two proteins with opposing roles known as Bax and Bcl-2. The study was published in 'Science Advances'.
