IIT Kanpur researchers have identified and characterised a novel small protein molecule that can effectively control inflammation leading to better treatment outcomes than the ones undergoing clinical trials. Researchers at…
The blood biochemical parameters — lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides), plasma glucose, insulin, HbA1c, urea, and creatinine — of Indian adolescents were measured in a large study…
While India has set a highly ambitious target of “eliminating TB by 2025”, modelling studies published today say incidence and mortality will reduce by just 57% and 72% respectively by…
IIT Hyderabad researchers have fabricated a low-cost, ultra-sensitive device that is capable of detecting the cardiac biomarker troponin T protein. Compared with the current limit of detection, the bioelectrode was able…
IIT Roorkee researchers have identified certain proteins found in saliva that can be used as potential biomarkers indicative of breast and ovarian cancer metastasis. The composition and expression of salivary…
CCMB researchers have fabricated a paper-based microfluidic device for rapid determination of lipid profile. Cholesterol and triglycerides can be detected in less than eight minutes and only 10 microlitre of…
A team led by IIITD-AIIMS researchers has developed a machine-learning algorithm to detect and predict shock using a single photo captured through thermal imaging. It has the ability to predict…
A 23-year-old pregnant woman in Tamil Nadu tested positive for HIV after receiving a unit of blood at a government hospital blood bank, indicating glaring lapses in screening procedures. The…
