Small amounts of the 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.
Viral DNA in human genomes, embedded there from ancient infections, serve as antivirals that protect human cells against certain present-day viruses, according to new research.
Washington [US], October 6 (ANI): Researchers found that in any case, the seed-sized organoids, which are generated in the lab from human cells, give insights into the brain and reveal variations that may lead to autism in some people. They also advised not to call them "mini-brains in recen
