Targeting unidentified protein reverses lymphedema: Research
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
The human lymphatic system is a huge network of tubes that drain and transfer protein-rich fluid from tissues to lymph nodes. When the machinery malfunctions and the lymphatic vessels fail to drain properly, fluid builds up in the tissues, causing painful swelling known as lymphedema.

Study: Losing productive type of pancreatic cell contribute to development
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
In the pancreas, various types of beta cells produce insulin, which aids in blood sugar regulation. According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, losing a particularly productive type of beta cell may contribute to the development of diabetes.

Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.
