Ultraviolet light emitting devices leads to cell death, cancer-causing mut
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
There may be greater public health risks associated with the ultraviolet nail polish drying equipment used to cure gel manicures than previously realised. These ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting devices were studied by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, who discovered that

Overactive cell metabolism linked to biological ageing: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and by extension humans, age? The answer may have a lot to do with mitochondria, the organelles that supply cells with energy. Though that idea is not new, direct evidence in human cells had been lacking.

Overactive cell metabolism is associated with biological ageing: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and thus people, age? The solution could be related to mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy to cells. Though this is not a new thing, direct evidence in human cells had previously been lacking, until now.

Enzyme 'atlas' helps researchers decipher cellular pathways
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A new atlas maps more than 300 protein kinases found in human cells and identifies which types of protein substrates they target. The atlas could help scientists understand what happens when cells become cancerous or are treated with specific drugs.

Research: Enzyme that protects against viruses could fuel cancer evolution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The finding suggests that the enzyme may be a potential target for f

Research: AI tailors artificial DNA for future drug development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
How our genes are expressed is a process that is fundamental to the functionality of cells in all living organisms. Simply put, the genetic code in DNA is transcribed to the molecule messenger RNA (mRNA), which tells the cell's factory which protein to produce and in which quantities.

Study gives more insight into vagus nerve's link to brain
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have shown a direct link between vagus nerve stimulation and its connection to the learning centres of the brain. The discovery may lead to treatments that will improve cognitive retention in both healthy and injured nervous s

Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell M

Researchers find why Cancer cells require proteins, copper
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Study revealed why metal copper are required by human cells to perform essential biological functions. The conclusion drawn from studies demonstrating higher copper levels in tumor cells and blood serum from cancer patients is that cancer cells require more copper than healthy cells.
