Plant roots change shape and branch out for water: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered how plant roots adapt their shape to maximise their uptake of water, pausing branching when they lose contact with water and only resuming once they reconnect with moisture, ensuring they can survive even in the driest conditions.

Sugar molecules as a target in cancer therapy: Research
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Cancer cells use sugar molecules on their surface to disable attacks by the body's immune system. Researchers at the University of Basel now report on how this mechanism can be neutralized.

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

Study reveals why brain cells are needed for fever
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The body's response to infection or inflammation is fever, which also serves as a defence mechanism against things like viruses and bacteria. The body releases molecules called cytokines into the bloodstream when it is infected or inflammatory. The blood-brain barrier, a system of microscopi
