The first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that exhibit the two main symptoms of the disease—the formation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles—were created previously. Researchers are now using their model to examine whether the exercise-induced muscle ho
Different cells in our pancreas perform critical functions in blood sugar regulation. The gene neurogenin 3 (NEUROG3) is discovered in pancreatic cells. Its mutant version may induce diabetes.

Different cells in our pancreas play crucial roles in regulating our blood sugar. Neurogenin 3 (NEUROG3) is the name of a gene found in pancreatic cells. The mutated form of it may cause diabetes.
Treatment for over 80 per cent of breast cancer survivors does not end with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Instead, doctors advise them to take medication to inhibit sex hormones, which can fuel tumour growth and cause recurrence, for the next five to ten years.
