Researchers discover two separate reservoirs of latent HIV in patients
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
When HIV patients get antiviral medication (ART), their viral levels are reduced to the point that a conventional blood test cannot detect the virus. However, once ART is discontinued, detectable HIV resurfaces, infecting new cells. The cells that release the virus to re-ignite the infection

Study reveals how brains turn into smarter disease fighters
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Combating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases by inserting healthy new immune cells into the brain has taken a leap toward reality. Neuroscientists at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Pennsylvania have found a way to safely thwart the brain's resistance

Coffee with milk might have an anti-inflammatory effect: Study
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Can a cup of coffee with milk have an anti-inflammatory impact on humans? According to a new study from the University of Copenhagen, this is the case. Anti-inflammatory effects in immune cells are doubled when proteins and antioxidants are combined. The researchers intend to investigate the

Stability of perovskite solar cells reaches next milestone
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The material class of halide perovskites is seen as a great hope for even more solar power at even lower costs. The materials are very cheap, can be processed into thin films with minimal energy input and achieve already efficiencies that are significantly higher than those of conventional s

High fat diet reduce brain's ability to regulate food intake
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain's ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to bal

Researchers circumvent radiation resistance in subtypes of brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a gene that is overexpressed in mutated IDH1. Studies in human cells and a novel mouse model both show that this gene, called ZMYND8, plays a critical role in radiation resistance. When they knocked down the gene, the glioma cells became responsive to radiation tre

New study reveals how cells prevent dangerous extra DNA copies
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
According to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine, a protein that prepares DNA for replication also keeps the replication process under control. The study, which was published in the journal Molecular Cell on January 5, explains a long-standing enigma among scientists.
