Stem cell population identified is vital for bone regeneration: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have identified a subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow that express the marker CD73. These cells have a higher potential for proliferation and differentiation, and play a significant role in bone healing, migrating to the site of a fracture and developing in

Insufficient insulin processing leads to being overweight: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Being overweight increases the risk of an imbalance in sugar metabolism and even of diabetes. A research group at the University of Basel has now shown the opposite is true as well: deficits in the body's insulin production contribute to being overweight.
