Overactive cell metabolism is associated with biological ageing: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and thus people, age? The solution could be related to mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy to cells. Though this is not a new thing, direct evidence in human cells had previously been lacking, until now.

Enzyme 'atlas' helps researchers decipher cellular pathways
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A new atlas maps more than 300 protein kinases found in human cells and identifies which types of protein substrates they target. The atlas could help scientists understand what happens when cells become cancerous or are treated with specific drugs.

Study: Hospitalised patients' infections may develop from their own bacter
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Hospitals have strict hygiene and sanitation protocols to protect patients from bacteria that rarely sicken healthy people but can be deadly for vulnerable patients already hospitalized with serious illnesses. Nearly 100,000 people die every year in U.S. hospitals of infections they develop

Physicists model cell migration to learn how cancer cells navigate tissue
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
This migration mode is one of the ways cancer cells navigate tissue during metastasis. In a new study researchers have explored mesenchymal migration through cell simulations and mathematical modeling. Their aim: to learn more about how cancer cells size up surrounding tissue for stiffness a

Scars can be repaired with hair follicle transplants: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to a new study, skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after being treated with hair follicle transplants. Scarred skin generates new cells and blood vessels, remodelled collagen to reestablish healthy patterns, and even expressed genes found in healthy, unscarred s

Cardiac progenitor cells generate healthy tissue after heart attack
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Following a heart attack, the human body is incapable of repairing lost tissue due to the heart's inability to generate new muscle. However, treatment with heart progenitor cells could result in the formation of functional heart cells at injured sites. This new therapeutic approach is introd
