Scientists have discovered a way to utilize nanotechnology to construct a 3D ‘scaffold’ for growing cells from the retina, paving the path for potential new treatments for a prevalent cause of blindness.
Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (ROTTO) of Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh is to promote organ donation and transplantation for needy patients to increase the potential pool of donors, the Central government told the Rajya Sabha
Radiation therapy for patients with prostate cancer can be made safer by a method that uses imaging technology as a guide. This method enables doctors to precisely direct radiation beams towards the prostate while avoiding adjacent tissue in the bladder, urethra, and rectum.
In the "black box" of human development known as gastrulation, an embryo transforms from a hollow, spherical structure to a multilayered one. Human embryos are typically not cultured for longer than 14 days due to bioethical concerns, and gastrulation happens between 17 and 21 days after fer
A new article in Arthritis and Rheumatology suggests that extracellular vesicles, which are involved in cell-to-cell communication, may be a factor in the development of fibrosis in systemic sclerosis.
The majority of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with the most advanced stage of the disease. Less than a third of people diagnosed with the condition survive five years. According to a recent study, as the third most frequent type of gynaecological cancer, it caused more than 200,000
Researchers have automated a microscope scanning and analysis system that has been tested, implemented and accredited ready for rollout around the world. The system significantly enhanced tests in terms of cost, quality, and speed, according to UQ Professor of AI Brian Lovell.
Gastrulation is a "black box" of human development in which an embryo reorganises itself from a hollow spherical to a multilayered structure. Because of bioethical considerations, human embryos are normally not cultured for more than 14 days, and gastrulation occurs between 17 and 21 days po
The coral reefs across the Caribbean have been devastated by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD), which has caused severe mortality in a number of coral species, including Pseudodiploria strigosa, which has been particularly hard hit in the Mexican Caribbean. Scientists have investigated
A research team led by Professor Kelvin Yeung from the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) developed a new microneedle patch to provide a highly effective non-antibiotic approach for the treat
Researchers developed a tissue-imitating hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with powerful tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells
T cells encounter various mechanical cues in various tissues. In order to demonstrate that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with potent tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells, research
