DNA is widely recognized as the blueprint for life, and it is required for an organism to assist biological functions. DNA may be damaged by a variety of circumstances, including radical metabolites, radiation, and some toxic compounds. Because DNA is a two-stranded molecule, any one or both
A set of brain cells found by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research enhances appetite when there is a persistent surplus of energy in the body, such as excess fat storage in obesity.
To control their activity according to the time of day, organisms rely on a biological clock known as the 'circadian' clock. A central clock, made up of a collection of brain cells known as suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), synchronises the circadian clocks found in all of the body's organs, kno
A pair of internationally known stem cell cloning researchers from the University of Houston have reported their discovery of mutant cells in the lungs of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), which will most likely be crucial targets in any future treatment for the ailment.
A new nutrition source for pancreatic cancer cells has been discovered by researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Centre. Uridine is a substance that provides insight into both biological processes and potential treatment paths.
Resistance to therapy and metastasis, or the ability to expand outside the organ of origin, are key concerns in cancer because they give cancer the upper hand.
Anthracyclines, a particular class of chemotherapy that breaks the DNA in cancer cells, have been reported to increase the risk of heart failure among young adult cancer survivors (between the ages of 18 and 39 at diagnosis) by 2.6 times.
Scientists found that the MGAT5 glycosylation enzyme plays a significant role in brain development. This finding may lead to new therapeutic applications for neural stem cells.
The findings, published in Nature, bring researchers closer to pinpointing which genes control important agricultural traits such as drought tolerance, which will help scientists faced with a changing climate adapt crops to drier environments.
In a cryo-ET experiment, scientists utilise a transmission electron microscope to create 3D images of the cellular volume containing complicated biomolecules, known as tomograms. To obtain a more detailed image of each protein.
When it comes to motivation, sometimes looking within is important. Cancer-fighting immune cells, according to new research, have identified a way to do just that.
Organelles, which are made up of various protein and RNA fragments inside of a cell, are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, controlling ageing and development, and producing energy.
