Barrett oesophagus is a genetic mutation in the esophageal mucous membrane that can lead to esophageal cancer. If certain biomarkers, known as miDNA, which are extremely short DNA strands, are found in these tissue alterations, it could be an indication that this preliminary stage of esophag
Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor. This is according to a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research by researchers at
The findings of a new study suggest that nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor.
Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], December 19 (ANI/PRNewswire): Permionics, a Gujarat-based pioneer in membrane technology, is on its way to making major changes in the way we approach sustainability.
Despite its health risk when its blood levels are too high, cholesterol is a vital part of the membrane that surrounds every human cell. Researchers revealed new insights into how cells achieve cholesterol homeostasis within the cell membrane.
A fundamental challenge in drug development is the balance between optimizing a drug's lock-and-key fit with its target and the drug's ability to make its way across the cellular membrane and access that target.
A team coaxed stem cells to take on the characteristics and functions of a human adrenal gland, progress that could lead to new therapies for adrenal insufficiencies and a deeper understanding of the genetics of such disorders.
A recent study has found that membrane voltage being higher than in healthy cells it also fluctuates over time - with breast cancer cells behaving much like neurons.
The platform, described in a new paper in the journal ACS Infectious Diseases, could help to address the ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis, say the scientists. They modified and then tested red blood cells as a carrier for one of the world's only remaining resistance-proof antibiotics: Po
Washington [US], October 20 (ANI): Researchers publish the three-dimensional structure of the B cell antigen receptor, shedding new light on its composition.
