Espresso may prevent Alzheimer’s protein clumping in lab tests: Research
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Espresso, whether savoured on its own or combined into a latte, Americano, or even a martini, delivers an ultra-concentrated rush of caffeine to coffee lovers. But it could be doing more than just wake you awake. According to preliminary in vitro laboratory testing, espresso components can s

How to avoid freezer burn and being damaged by too much ice, explains stud
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
The majority of people have a bag of vegetables in their freezer that have essentially turned into an unrecognisable block of ice crystals. Additionally, meals ruined by too much ice lose their texture and become mushy when thawed. Now, scientists have demonstrated in the Journal of Agricul

Lewy body disease can be detected before symptoms appear: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A research team has demonstrated that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear using a spinal fluid test. The findings were published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also show that a reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before other obvious

Study gives new insight into diagnosing ovarian cancer
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Research headed by Nagoya University in Japan discovered three previously unknown membrane proteins in ovarian cancer. The scientists captured the proteins using a novel technique comprised of nanowires with a polyketone coating, providing a new detection tool for ovarian cancer.

Study shows engineered method for removing protein clumps from cells
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Protein aggregates build up with age and have been linked to neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease. A recent work from the Gothenburg University Nystrom lab, in conjunction with the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany, offers a no

Study finds how DNA can fold into complex shapes to execute new functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
In a study by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a division of the National Institutes of Health, DNA was found to fold into complex, three-dimensional structures and replicate the functions of proteins.

Making uniform DNA-encapsulating microgels that simulate live cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
In a 'self-organized' environment, the live cell contains physiologically important components such as genetic material (DNA) and proteins. Understanding this process of self-assembly can explain the fundamental mechanism of living matter self-organization. Water/oil (w/o) or water/water (w/

Study finds new method for comprehensive urine proteome analysis
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers found A novel solid-phase alkylation (SPA)-based sample preparation method for low-loss, anti-interference processing of sub-microgram proteomic samples was developed. The study was published in Journal, URINE.'

New method of protein identification aids in drug development: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Depending on the type of cell, all living cells contain proteins with different functions. The researchers at the University of Gothenburg have figured out a technique to recognise proteins even without looking at their structure. Their method is faster and easier as compared to previous one
