Study finds new therapeutic targets to fight against type 2 diabetes
Updated : 1 year, 9 months ago IST
The fact that individuals with type 2 diabetes have elevated fasting glucose levels is among the most perplexing factors for them. This is due to the fact that in these insulin-resistant individuals, the liver produces glucose, a process that still raises many unanswered issues for scientist

Rare lungs cells play important role in cystic fibrosis: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A new study from the University of Iowa found that pulmonary ionocytes, which are uncommon lung cells, aid in the absorption of water and salt from the airway surface. This cell behaviour is the polar opposite of what was expected, and it could have implications for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung

Study finds how rare lungs cells play important role in cystic fibrosis
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to a new study from the University of Iowa, uncommon lung cells known as pulmonary ionocytes aid in the absorption of water and salt from the airway surface. This function of these cells is the polar opposite of what was expected, and it may have ramifications for cystic fibrosis (

Researchers discover causes of liver cell scarring
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
When damaged liver cells are replaced by scar tissue, hepatic fibrosis results. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer can arise as a result of cumulative scarring that, over time, restricts the blood flow to the liver. When the condition is severe, there is no other course of actio

Disease-causing stem cells in lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis: Stud
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Five lung stem cell variants predominate in the lungs of patients with advanced cystic fibrosis (CF), Wa Xian and Frank McKeon, two nationally renowned experts in cloning and stem cell science from the University of Houston report. These variants are responsible for important CF pathology fe

Researchers find how liver cells become scarring, worse
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Hepatic fibrosis happens when the liver's destroyed cells are replaced by scar tissue. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer may develop as a result of the liver's blood flow being disrupted over time by accumulated scarring. An organ transplant is the only option for treatment in

Cystic fibrosis patients benefit from triple combination therapy: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
If a triple combination treatment is used for long-term benefits in persons with cystic fibrosis (CF), researchers discovered that airway mucus is less sticky and lung inflammation is significantly reduced. According to their studies, this kind of drug helps a lot of people with CF symptoms.

Extracellular vesicles may led to spread of scleroderma-caused fibrosis th
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A new article in Arthritis and Rheumatology suggests that extracellular vesicles, which are involved in cell-to-cell communication, may be a factor in the development of fibrosis in systemic sclerosis.

Triple combination therapy helps patients with cystic fibrosis: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers found that airway mucus is less sticky and lung inflammation is greatly reduced if triple combination treatment is used for long-term benefits in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). According to their research, this type of drug relieves the symptoms of CF in many people.
