Researchers suggest effects of resistance training in older adults
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
A protein response that takes place at the cellular level as a result of ageing includes a balance between oxidants and antioxidants, low-grade inflammation, and is the cause of many medical conditions.

Tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer driven by stress-tolerant cells: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A molecular mechanism important for the development of pancreatic cancers has been found by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The mechanism could possibly contribute to the disease's great resistance to treatment and proclivity for metastasis.

Secreted protein that helps in growing muscles discovered by researchers
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to research from Tokyo Metropolitan University, a protein known as platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B), which is continually released from skeletal muscle cells, has been found to aid in muscle repair by promoting the formation of myoblasts, or muscle stem cells.

Infections in hospitalised individuals may arise from their own germs: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Hospitals have strong cleanliness and sanitation measures in place to protect patients from microorganisms that rarely affect healthy people but can be deadly to vulnerable patients who are already hospitalised with serious illnesses.

Ethical ancient DNA research must involve descendant communities
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The analysis of ancient DNA allows scientists to trace human evolution and make important discoveries about modern populations. The data revealed by ancient DNA sampling can be valuable, but the human remains that carry this ancient DNA are often those of the ancestors of modern Indigenous g

Overactive cell metabolism linked to biological ageing: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and by extension humans, age? The answer may have a lot to do with mitochondria, the organelles that supply cells with energy. Though that idea is not new, direct evidence in human cells had been lacking.

Cell identity understanding can be improved through machine learning: Stud
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
When genes are activated and expressed, they show patterns in cells that are similar in type and function across tissues and organs. Discovering these patterns improves our understanding of cells -- which has implications for unveiling disease mechanisms.
