Researchers use technology to show organoids respond to external sensory s
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli. The implanted organoids reacted to visual stimuli in the same wa

Research finds aging is driven by unbalanced genes
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In a new study, Northwestern University researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They discovered that the length of genes can explain most molecular-level changes that occur during aging.

Scientists discover how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity move better
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The human body is made up of more than a billion cells that join to form the tissues and organs of our bodies. However, cells are dynamic structures that, using different techniques, move through the body to fulfil various functions, such as close wounds or carry nutrients to other tissues.

Scientists turn up spotlight on cells in tissues so RNA could explain dise
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 11 (ANI): A new advance overcomes present limitations in spatial transcriptomics with a DNA nanotechnology-driven method called 'Light-Seq.' Light-Seq allows researchers to 'geotag' the full repertoire of RNA sequences with unique DNA barcodes exclusive to a few cell

Scientists demonstrate how injuries are converted to regeneration signals
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 5 (ANI): The phenomenon of regeneration was discovered over 200 years ago in the freshwater polyp Hydra. Until now, however, it was largely unclear how the orderly regeneration of lost tissues or organs is activated after injury. In its investigations of Hydra, an

Study: Shape of coronavirus affects its transmission
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Okinawa [Japan], August 31 (ANI): Images of the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, have been imprinted in our brains since the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the way we commonly visualise the virus, as a spherical with spikes, is not entirely true. Microscope images of infected tissue
