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…
The final price of cigarettes increases by only 0.18%. In the case of bidi and smokeless tobacco, the final price hike is 8.8% (about Rs. 1.30 per pack of 25…
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…
