Study reveals how bright-light treatment improves sleep in stressed mice
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Sleep disturbance is linked to chronic stress. In their current study, Lu Huang and colleagues uncover the brain circuit behind this behaviour and explain how bright-light treatment may combat it. The study was carried out in mice at Jinan University in China and was published in the open ac

Study finds how microRNA therapy slows cancer tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The therapy, tested in mouse models, combines a delivery system that targets cancer cells with a specially modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule that acts “like the brakes on a car,” slowing or stopping cell division, said Andrea Kasinski, lead author and the William and Patty Miller

Insect protein slows weight gain, increase health status in obese mice: St
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
As the world's population grows in the face of climate change, the need for sustainable protein sources is greater than ever. Although plant-based "meat" and "dairy" products are popular, they are not the only environmentally beneficial meat substitutes.

Researchers reveal diabetic retinopathy cause blindness in adults
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Diabetic retinopathy, which results in progressive damage to the blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, is the main cause of blindness in adults in the United States. However, a study suggested that the small leaky intestine, which reduces the barrier between gut

Study finds common mechanism tumours use to suppress immune responses
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumours from immune detection and destruction

Researchers pinpoint potential treatment for lethal childhood cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers discovered that by blocking the production of an enzyme called DHODH, they were able to halt the growth of MYC gene-amplified medulloblastoma in mouse models, the most aggressive subtype of this cancer.

Study: Gel-like, radioactive tumour implant obliterates pancreatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 22 (ANI): Biomedical engineers have demonstrated the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer in mouse models ever recorded. While most mouse trials consider simply halting growth a success, the new treatment completely eliminated tumors in 80% of mice across s

Do you know small intestinal microbiome prevents obesity and type 2 diabet
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 11 (ANI): According to a new study each person's gut is home to 500 to 1,000 different bacterial species, which might total 100,000 trillion germs. Researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine used mouse models to examine how diet and feedi
