That scientists who pioneered the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, the biggest game-changer in biology in recent years, will win the Nobel Prize was never in doubt; it was only a question of when and who would get recognised for the work done to develop the tool.
A multi-institutional team led by IIT Kanpur has found the mechanism responsible for the aggressive return of prostate cancer in treated patients. They also found that treating prostate cancer cells…
Researchers have found potential gene biomarkers that can be used for prognosis and early diagnosis of primary brain tumour glioblastoma. The biomarkers can also indicate the chances of survival of…
IIT Hyderabad used chlorophyll-rich extract of a medicinal plant encapsulated in nanoparticles along with a dye to kill cancer cells when exposed to near-infrared light. The cancer cells were killed…
IISc researchers found that certain regions of the genome rich in four-stranded DNA — G-quadruplexes (G4-DNA) — are more resistant to radiation damage. As a result, there are fewer DNA breaks…
Using machine learning of 17 genomic signatures, researchers from IIIT Delhi and CSIR-IMTECH have developed a webserver called CancerSPP that will help clinicians in classifying cutaneous melanoma as either primary…
Of the over 6,400 samples collected from 1,100 towns/cities in India, 93% were found to be safe. But 5.7% had aflatoxin M1 residues beyond the permissible limit. The highest levels…
A highly sensitive carbon nanotube-based sensor capable of detecting multidrug-resistant myeloid leukemia cells even when present at very low concentration of 10 cells per ml has been fabricated by Delhi-based…
