Study: Diet has much stronger impact than defensins on gut microbes
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The composition of the intestinal microbiota is influenced by a variety of factors, including nutrition and the body's production of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which has been discovered by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, they discovered a potential function

Research reveals previously unknown human body repair mechanism for ribonu
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Ribonucleic acids (RNAs), single-stranded molecules, are essential parts of every living thing's cells. By carrying the instructions for the synthesis of a protein in their own sequence, mRNAs, which function as "transcripts" of our genes, contribute to the translation of genetic information

Researchers suggest promising, safe approaches for brain treatment
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), specialised molecules that may regulate RNA and affect protein creation, are being injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, the region around the brain and spinal cord, as a prospective treatment for a variety of brain illnesses.

Research: Exploring ways to harness plant molecules for solar energy
Updated : 3 years ago IST
The current solar panels aren't very efficient as they are only able to convert up to about 20 per cent of the sun's energy into electricity. As a result, to generate a lot of electricity, the panels require a lot of space--sometimes leading forests to be cut down or farms being replaced.

Study identifies human microRNAs linked to type 2 diabetes
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Although it has long been believed that the microRNA (miRNA) molecules found in pancreatic islets play significant roles in type 2 diabetes, no specific miRNAs have been definitively linked to the condition in humans.
