How can one establish robust, yet fast-releasing bonds between living and non-living tissues? Bioengineers who want to develop materials that fuse together for sophisticated biological applications are still perplexed by this subject.
Children suffering from thalassemia major and sickle cell anaemia require lifelong blood transfusion. These blood transfusions are life-saving, but this leads to problem of excess iron deposition in children suffering from these diseases. Excess iron in the body deposits in tissues and ca
New Delhi [India], October 30: With the rise in health awareness, demand for genetic testing is on the rise in India. As a result, recently there has been an emergence of a number of genetic test labs in India. Genetic testing makes us aware of our genetic makeup along with the risks of inhe
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 10: HCG ICS Khubchandani Cancer Centre, successfully treated a 70-year-old patient diagnosed with Frontal Temporal Lobe Meningioma, which also resulted in the loss of vision in her left eye. The team, headed by Dr Shyam Shrivastava, Radiation Oncologist,
The human lymphatic system is a huge network of tubes that drain and transfer protein-rich fluid from tissues to lymph nodes. When the machinery malfunctions and the lymphatic vessels fail to drain properly, fluid builds up in the tissues, causing painful swelling known as lymphedema.
A new study demonstrated the isolation and sequencing of RNA molecules from a Tasmanian tiger specimen kept at room temperature in a museum collection over a century ago.
Tumour cells are known to be fickle sleepers, typically lying dormant in distant tissues for years before reactivating and producing metastasis. Numerous elements, ranging from cells and molecules to other components in the so-called tissue microenvironment, have been researched to determine
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
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
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
This new study focused on a subpopulation of E. coli with a specific capsule - the extracellular barrier that surrounds a bacterium - known as K1. E. coli with this form of capsule has been linked to invasive illnesses such as bloodstream or kidney infections, as well as neonatal meningitis.
