JNCASR researchers have unravelled the molecular mechanism by which autophagy pathway gets enhanced leading to human cells becoming resistant to radiation. When PC4 protein is absent or downregulated, autophagy gets…
Twenty-five quinoline derivatives synthesised by IICB researchers and tested in the lab by IACS team show potent anticancer activity. The mode of action is the same for current drugs and…
Researchers at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, Kalyani, and ACTREC, Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai have identified five biomarkers for lymph node metastasis in oral cancer. Two of the biomarkers are…
For the second time, researchers have been able to clear HIV virus from the body (remission) by transplanting stem cells containing two mutant copies of a co-receptor CCR5 for HIV…
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…
Researchers from IIT Madras and Sankara Nethralaya have identified biochemical pathways that retinoblastoma (eye cancer) preferentially chooses for growth and survival. They found amino acids are a major source of…
IIT Kanpur-led team discovers the molecular mechanism by which a protein (EZH2) is produced in excess leading to a reduction in the levels of two microRNAs. This causes an oncogene…
Besides Australia, France, UK. Norway, Ireland, New Zealand and Hungary have introduced plain packaging of tobacco products. Plain packaging was will be introduced in Uruguay and Slovenia in 2019 and…
