Tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer driven by stress-tolerant cells: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
A molecular mechanism important for the development of pancreatic cancers has been found by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The mechanism could possibly contribute to the disease's great resistance to treatment and proclivity for metastasis.

Researchers discover toolkit for RNA sequencing analysis using pantranscri
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
To acquire insight into the degree to which genes are "turned on" and perform tasks in the body, a person's RNA landscape must be mapped to a standard reference. However, when the reference does not provide enough information to allow for correct mapping, researchers may encounter a problem

Secreted protein that helps in growing muscles discovered by researchers
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
According to research from Tokyo Metropolitan University, a protein known as platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B), which is continually released from skeletal muscle cells, has been found to aid in muscle repair by promoting the formation of myoblasts, or muscle stem cells.

Researchers reveal diabetic retinopathy cause blindness in adults
Updated : 3 years, 5 months 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

Researchers identify novel tool to unveil communication between gut microb
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
In the past decade, researchers have started appreciating the importance of two-way communication that occurs between microbes in the gastrointestinal tract and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis.

Researchers develop artificial intelligence tool to predict risk of lung c
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer death in the United States and around the world. Low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) is suggested for monitoring persons aged 50 to 80 with a significant history of smoking or who actively smoke. Lung cancer screening with LDCT has been demonstra

Researchers find cause of epilepsy in children
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Epilepsy affects 4 per cent of the population and is one of the most common brain disorders among children. Most seizure recurrences can be avoided with modern medicine, but approximately 20 per cent of patients do not respond to treatment.

Enzyme 'atlas' helps researchers decipher cellular pathways
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
A new atlas maps more than 300 protein kinases found in human cells and identifies which types of protein substrates they target. The atlas could help scientists understand what happens when cells become cancerous or are treated with specific drugs.

Fossils reveal dinosaurs of prehistoric Patagonia: Research
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
A study is providing a glimpse into dinosaur and bird diversity in Patagonia during the Late Cretaceous, just before the non-avian dinosaurs went extinct. The fossils represent the first record of theropods, a dinosaur group that includes both modern birds and their closest non-avian dinosau
