Researchers reveal diabetic retinopathy cause blindness in adults
Updated : 3 years, 2 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

Cell identity understanding can be improved through machine learning: Stud
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
When genes are activated and expressed, they show patterns in cells that are similar in type and function across tissues and organs. Discovering these patterns improves our understanding of cells -- which has implications for unveiling disease mechanisms.

Physicists model cell migration to learn how cancer cells navigate tissue
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
This migration mode is one of the ways cancer cells navigate tissue during metastasis. In a new study researchers have explored mesenchymal migration through cell simulations and mathematical modeling. Their aim: to learn more about how cancer cells size up surrounding tissue for stiffness a

Scars can be repaired with hair follicle transplants: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to a new study, skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after being treated with hair follicle transplants. Scarred skin generates new cells and blood vessels, remodelled collagen to reestablish healthy patterns, and even expressed genes found in healthy, unscarred s

Cardiac progenitor cells generate healthy tissue after heart attack
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Following a heart attack, the human body is incapable of repairing lost tissue due to the heart's inability to generate new muscle. However, treatment with heart progenitor cells could result in the formation of functional heart cells at injured sites. This new therapeutic approach is introd

Scars can be repaired by using transplanted hair follicles
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after being treated with hair follicle transplants, according to a new study. Scarred skin grew new cells and blood vessels, remodelled collagen to restore healthy patterns, and even expressed genes found in healthy, unscarred skin.
