Gene signature points to prognosis in kidney cancer: Study
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 18 (ANI): A new study by Karolinska Institutet has revealed that among patients with kidney cancer, the activity of four specific genes in the cancer cells seems to be able to predict the risk of the tumour spreading and the patient's chances of survival.

Newly-discovered process brings immune cells up to speed
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 16 (ANI): Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes.

Study finds unexpected protective properties of pain
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 16 (ANI): The classic view of pain is that it protects by detecting and signalling the presence of harmful agents, but new research shows pain can shield the gut more directly.

Study identifies mechanism otherwise found in metastasizing cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes. According to the study, certain structures, the centrioles, increase in number. This makes it e

Study: Human brain cells in a dish learn to play Pong faster than an AI
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 13 (ANI): Human and mouse neurons in a dish learned to play the video game Pong, researchers report. The experiments are evidence that even brain cells in a dish can exhibit inherent intelligence, modifying their behaviour over time.

Scientists turn up spotlight on cells in tissues so RNA could explain dise
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 11 (ANI): A new advance overcomes present limitations in spatial transcriptomics with a DNA nanotechnology-driven method called 'Light-Seq.' Light-Seq allows researchers to 'geotag' the full repertoire of RNA sequences with unique DNA barcodes exclusive to a few cell

Microbial enzymes are the key to pectin digestion in leaf beetles: Researc
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 9 (ANI): A research team shows in a new study how leaf beetles could successfully use new and previously indigestible food sources in the course of evolution. The insects acquired enzymes from microorganisms via horizontal gene transfer that enabled them to degrade p
