Study finds details on molecular mechanism that prevents cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Apoptosis is essential for human life, and its disruption can cause cancerous cells to grow and not respond to cancer treatment. In healthy cells, it is regulated by two proteins with opposing roles known as Bax and Bcl-2. The study was published in 'Science Advances'.

Molecular mechanism involved in development of type 2 diabetes: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
The study has described --in patients and animal model samples of type 2 diabetes-- a decrease in mitochondrial proteins that synthesize complex subunits of the respiratory chain. This decrease in proteins is associated with an increase in intracellular nitric oxide which, according to the r

Tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer driven by stress-tolerant cells: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A molecular mechanism important for the development of pancreatic cancers has been found by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The mechanism could possibly contribute to the disease's great resistance to treatment and proclivity for metastasis.

Scientists identify vital mechanisms controlling skin regeneration
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is constantly turning over to replace dead or damaged cells throughout our lifetime. Skin stem cells need to continuously make decisions: either make more copies of themselves (self-renewal) or switch their fate towards differentiation. The molecular m

Research: Brain's spatial mapping is supported by molecular processes
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 25 (ANI): Research in mice has cast new light on the molecular mechanisms that underlie spatial mapping in the brain. Scientists have found that a gene called Fos plays a key role in helping the brain use specialized navigation cells to form and maintain spatial maps.
