Hypertension affects brain much earlier than expected: Study
Updated : 3 months, 3 weeks ago IST
Hypertension may impair the brain far earlier than previously understood -- even before a measurable rise in blood pressure occurs -- according to a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The changes help explain why hypertension is a major risk factor for developing cognitive di

Researchers give more insight into unknown ways cells break proteins
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Short-lived proteins control gene expression in cells to carry out a variety of crucial functions, from aiding in the formation of neural connections to supporting the body's immune system. These proteins are created in the nucleus and, after performing their function, are promptly eliminate

Study provides insight into regulation of apicoplast gene expression in ma
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A recent study discovered that gene expression within the apicoplast, an organelle in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is regulated by melatonin (the circadian signalling hormone) in host blood and intrinsic parasite cues via a factor called ApSigma. The regulatory system highligh

Study suggests new concept to understand T cell traits, functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
T cells encounter various mechanical cues in various tissues. In order to demonstrate that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with potent tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells, research

Study finds how space travel alters gene expression in white blood cells,
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
There is growing evidence that illnesses are more likely to affect astronauts in space. For instance, respiratory and non-respiratory illnesses are rather prevalent among astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS), as well as skin rashes. Additionally, it is known that astrona

Study: Losing productive type of pancreatic cell contribute to development
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
In the pancreas, various types of beta cells produce insulin, which aids in blood sugar regulation. According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, losing a particularly productive type of beta cell may contribute to the development of diabetes.

Study reveals how whole genome doubling drives cancer
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Two to three metres of DNA can fit inside a single cell, thus it can only be stored by being wound tightly into coils. The answer is chromatin, a compound of DNA encased in histone-like proteins. This complex gradually folds into the multi-layered arrangement of loops, domains, and compartme

Researchers explore how age and sex influence our body clocks
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The human body runs on a finely tuned clock synchronized to the 24-hour cycle of Earth's rotation, known as the circadian clock, which controls various physiological processes such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and metabolism.
