Washington [US], August 31 (ANI): A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapour bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports. Can you imagine the damage such bubbles could do to sof
Washington [US], August 5 (ANI): A team of scientists describe a series of studies designed to determine the relationship among insulin, fats and the vascular system and identified a new pathway in which the cells lining the blood vessels - called endothelial cells - drive the body's metabol
Washington [US], July 25 (ANI): A study revealed that tumors are made up of many different cell types, including both cancerous and benign. The unique intricacy of the cells found inside brain tumours has been a defining feature of the condition, one that makes therapy very challenging. Alth
Washington [US], July 12 (ANI): Producing biomaterials that match the performance of cartilage and tendons has been an elusive goal for scientists, but a new material demonstrates a promising new approach to mimicking natural tissue.
Washington [US], July 5 (ANI): Researchers have created artificial Hox genes which plan and direct where cells go to develop tissues or organs using new synthetic DNA technology and genomic engineering in stem cells. Their findings confirm how clusters of Hox genes help cells to learn and re
Washington [US], July 2 (ANI): During a recent study, researchers identified a new mechanism that teaches immune cells-in-training to spare the body's own tissues while attacking pathogens.
California [US], June 30 (ANI): According to a new study, CD8+ T cells which are activated in response to infections and tumours and are able to recall the names of harmful invaders, are receiving more attention from researchers studying how the human immune system reacts to pathogens and ca
Washington [US], June 28 (ANI): Researchers identify new mechanism that teaches immune cells-in-training to spare the body's own tissues while attacking pathogens. As part of this early education, specialized thymus cells 'pose' as different tissues, teaching the immune system how to recogni
Louisiana [US], May 9 (ANI): According to new research, scientists are working to improve immune checkpoint inhibitors to better target tumours and reduce their impact on healthy tissues.
Oakland (California) [US], April 17 (ANI): According to a new study by the University of California, a compound found in turmeric called Curcumin helps grow engineered blood vessels and tissues.
Washington [US], April 17 (ANI): A new study has found that cancer cells can disrupt a metabolic pathway that breaks down fats and proteins to boost the levels of a byproduct called methylmalonic acid, thereby driving metastasis.
Lausanne [Switzerland], March 3 (ANI): 'Peripuberty' is a natural change that every person's body undergoes when childhood ends and adolescence begins. A new study has found that stress during the peripubertal period leads to an increase in adipose tissue in the individual's body.
