Cancer medication helps to fight against malaria: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A group of UCF researchers are looking to use cancer pharmaceuticals to hasten the development of fresh, life-saving malaria treatments because the disease is getting more and more resistant to existing medications.

Revolutionary novel method can manipulate the shape, packing of DNA: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A human cell contains around 2 metres of DNA, which contains an individual's important genetic information. If all the DNA contained within a single person were unwound and stretched out, it would cover an astonishing distance - enough to reach the sun and back 60 times over. The cell compac

Hand illness known as "Viking disease" may result from Neandertal genes: S
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A recent study in the Oxford University Press journal Molecular Biology and Evolution demonstrates that the Neandertal component of Dupuytren's illness is present. Researchers have long known that people of Northern European descent had the disease significantly more frequently than those wi

Study reveals how immune system trip wire that detects COVID-19
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Inflammasomes are part of a complex network of molecular sensors that our bodies utilise to detect infection. However, immunologists have been intrigued by the processes behind these sensors, which activate responses to dangers such as invading infections.

CARD8 helps human immune system respond to viruses like Covid 19: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Molecular sensors that form the so-called inflammasome help activate inflammatory responses to pathogens. A new study suggested that CARD8 is a highly evolved sensor that can detect a variety of viruses and is critical to the human immune system's capacity to identify and respond to coronavi

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'.
