Researchers reveal predictive biomarkers for hip disorder
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
In order to distinguish between people with healthy hips and those who have hip dysplasia, also known as hip dysplasia, which frequently develops into hip osteoarthritis if not diagnosed before early adulthood, researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have created panel

Study gives more insight into development of infection-fighting immune cel
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
With its complicated network of proteins, cells, and organs, the immune system guards the body against intruders like bacteria, viruses, or tumours. Cytotoxic T cells, specialised immune cells that destroy malignant or infected cells in our bodies, can transform into transient effector cells

Study reveals how devastating heart conditions can be reversed
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
In an extraordinary example presented by a team at UCL (University College London) and the Royal Free Hospital, three men who experienced heart failure caused by the buildup of sticky, poisonous proteins are now free of symptoms.

Study finds details on molecular mechanism that prevents cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Apoptosis is essential for human life, and its disruption can cause cancerous cells to grow and not respond to cancer treatment. In healthy cells, it is regulated by two proteins with opposing roles known as Bax and Bcl-2. The study was published in 'Science Advances'.

Researchers give more insight into association between autoimmunity, schiz
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Autoantibodies, or immune system-produced proteins that may function against one's own body, have been linked to reports of schizophrenia. A minority of schizophrenia patients had autoantibodies that targeted neurexin 1, a "synaptic adhesion protein," according to a study published last mont

Study discovers how new blood serum test detect neurodegenerative disorder
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders caused by an aberrant accumulation of a-synuclein, a protein present in the brain and neurons. Incorrect a-synuclein folding results in the production of'seeds,' which attract more -synuclein proteins to build larger clumps. Although a-synucl

Study illustrates how cells choose DNA repair methods
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
DNA is usually regarded as the blueprint for life and is essential for an organism to perform biological tasks. A range of factors, including radical metabolites, radiation, and other hazardous substances, can cause DNA damage. Because DNA is a two-stranded molecule, it can be damaged on eit

Novel AI-based software allows quick, reliable imaging of proteins in cel
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
In a cryo-ET experiment, scientists utilise a transmission electron microscope to create 3D images of the cellular volume containing complicated biomolecules, known as tomograms. To obtain a more detailed image of each protein.

Study finds rapeseed's protein power for human consumption
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Rapeseed plants provide half of the plant proteins consumed in the EU. Because the plant is bitter and hazardous for human eating, it has hitherto only been used for oil and animal feed.
