Researchers find how important protein keeps cell membranes in balance
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Lipids are the primary components of our cell membranes, which are made up of lipid bilayers. The lipid distribution is not uniform; it is asymmetric, having differing lipid contents in the outer and inner layers.

Scientists created new antibody to combat breast cancer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Professor Nicholas Tonks' laboratory identified an antibody that can suppress an enzyme that may aid in the spread of some breast tumours. With more research, the antibody may be able to give a feasible therapeutic treatment for the same breast cancers.

Researchers develop new antibody against breast cancers
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
An antibody developed in the lab of Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory Professor Nicholas Tonks can inhibit an enzyme that may aid in the spread of some breast tumours. With additional research, the antibody could provide a viable therapeutic treatment for the same breast tumours.

Researchers suggest Musashi-2 controls skeletal muscle composition
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.

Abnormalities in neurodevelopment can lay foundations for Alzheimer's dise
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Neurogenesis, or the development of neural cells from stem cells, begins in the foetus at 5 weeks gestation and is nearly complete by 28 weeks. It is a complicated process with intricate processes.

Researchers find how liver cells control biological clock
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
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

Study: How an enzyme aids in regulation of ageing
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
New research sheds light on how an enzyme that aids in the regulation of ageing and other metabolic processes accesses our genetic material to modify gene expression within the cell.

Study reveals role of particular nutrients in formation of neurons
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Although it is well recognised that neuronal development, particularly the growth of dendrites and axons, is metabolically demanding, little is known about the effects of different foods on neuronal development.

Study finds how specific nutrients affect neuronal development
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
It appears that nutrition affects an organism's physiological status at every stage of life. Although it is well recognised that neuronal development, particularly the growth of dendrites and axons, is metabolically demanding, little is known about the effects of different foods on neuronal

Research explores how neurons autonomously regulate their excitability
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A new study led by the University of Bonn has now discovered a mechanism that lets nerve cells autonomously regulate their sensitivity to incoming signals.

Eating disorders can be detected earlier using electrolytes as diagnostic
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found how people with electrolyte abnormalities were twice as likely to be diagnosed with an eating disorder. Those with severe irregularities were five times more likely to be diagnosed.
