Saving Southeast Asian vegetable biodiversity
Updated : 1 year, 3 months ago IST
Taipei [Taiwan], December 3: Vegetables are hugely important for human nutrition, and for diverse and resilient farming systems that generate income for smallholder producers, processors and traders. But, due to changes in the climate, diets and land use, we see a loss in crop diversity, wil

Researchers find how cells recognize, repair DNA damage
Updated : 1 year, 5 months ago IST
When cells divide, there is a substantial risk of genetic harm. After all, the cell must repeat its whole genetic material, including billions of genetic letters, before it can divide. This repeatedly produces "reading errors" in the genome. Other factors, including as exposure to sunlight,

Researchers discover new methods to identify bacteria more easily
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Antibiotics are used far too regularly around the world. Bacteria are becoming more resistant as a result. Curing bacterial illnesses is getting increasingly difficult because antibiotics are one of our most powerful weapons in the fight against them.

Remnant of cell division might be responsible for spreading cancer: Resear
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Once assumed to be the cell's trash can, a little bubble of biological debris, termed the midbody remnant, is packing working genetic material with the ability to affect the fate of other cells, even turning them into cancer

DNA breakthrough detects genetic diversity of invasive fish: Research
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Ecologists have proven that the genetic material that species shed into their environments can reveal not only the presence of the species but also a wide range of information about the genetics of whole populations — information that may assist scientists to trace the source of a new invasi

Making uniform DNA-encapsulating microgels that simulate live cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
In a 'self-organized' environment, the live cell contains physiologically important components such as genetic material (DNA) and proteins. Understanding this process of self-assembly can explain the fundamental mechanism of living matter self-organization. Water/oil (w/o) or water/water (w/

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.

Epigenetics breaks into the clinical practice of cancer: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers describe the impact of epigenetics on cancer treatment and how it has become a crucial tool to improve early detection, predict disease progression and become a target for new treatments.

Oral antiviral drug targets key part of respiratory syncytial virus: Study
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 26 (ANI): An oral antiviral drug that targets a key part of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) polymerase and inhibits the synthesis of viral genetic material has been identified, a finding that could provide an effective treatment against RSV disease.
