Study explains why adults' hearts don't regenerate
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
As heart cells mature in mice, the number of communication pathways called nuclear pores dramatically decreases, according to new research from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC scientists. While this might protect the organ from damaging signals, it could also prevent adult heart cells from

Immune molecule's complex role in Huntington's disease: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge

Researchers uncover brain waves related to social behaviour
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered electrical brain-wave patterns given off during social interactions in mice. They also observed that mice showing signs of stress, depression, or autism lacked these brain waves. The results reveal more about the mechanisms underlying brain activity when socializi

Study: Gel-like, radioactive tumour implant obliterates pancreatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 22 (ANI): Biomedical engineers have demonstrated the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer in mouse models ever recorded. While most mouse trials consider simply halting growth a success, the new treatment completely eliminated tumors in 80% of mice across s

Researchers discover amygdale in brain is reason behind overeating
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
New York [US], October 20 (ANI): Fear is controlled by the amygdala, a part of the brain. Researchers have shown that the amygdala is also responsible for overeating. Professor Bo Li of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) uncovered a set of neurons in the amygdala that causes mice to devour

Study: Novel treatment effective for bladder cancer
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 8 (ANI): An epigenetics drug currently being used for the treatment of blood cancers and rare sarcomas can stop the growth of bladder cancer by activating the immune system, reports a new study in mice. The drug is now being tested in a national clinical trial for pa
