Researchers discover new conceptual approach for blood-brain barrier in ne
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Study disocveered that blood-brain barrier has long been recognised for its capacity to maintain exact control over which molecules can enter the nervous system, little is known about how the cells that make up the barrier affect how the nervous system works.

Researchers discover the cause behind skin inflammation
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
UV light is very high in energy. When it hits the skin, it can therefore damage important cellular molecules, sparking inflammation as a common consequence. The skin serves as a crucial barrier against viruses and environmental stimuli because it is the biggest organ in the human body. The r

Study explores how genes, small molecules influence disease risk
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Each individual has an individual chemical fingerprint. The composition of small molecules in the blood, such as fats or sugars, determines how our body reacts to external influences, which diseases we are susceptible to and how severe an illness will be.

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.

Research: 'Click' chemistry may help treat dogs with bone cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
In September, researchers from California and Denmark were awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their development of 'click' chemistry, a process in which molecules snap together like LEGO, making them a potentially more efficient transportation device in delivering pharmaceuticals to canc

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
