Who doesn’t like to bask in the sun during the harshness of the winters and getting a lovely tan during the summers! However, with the latest research published by the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, sunlight has a direct effect on the breakdown of medicines in the human body!
Researchers have been long trying to figure out the basics of the very feeling of fear. Now, researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that stimulation of a distinct brain circuit that lies within a brain structure generally linked with fearfulness produces the opposite effect: Its activity, instead of triggering or increasing [...]
In a revolutionary development, Advanced Cell Technology, Inc., a leading biotechnology company applying cellular technology in the field of regenerative medicine, has announced that it has gotten the go ahead for developing its single-blastomere technique. The company has been issued a patent for its single-blastomere technology that provides an alternative manner of deriving human embryonic [...]
For the first time in history, scientists have actually achieved to do the unthinkable! Giving proof of the actual advancement of science, researchers at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have announced that they have reached an all time new advance in tissue engineering. In a first in the [...]
A new research study conducted by the National Institutes of Health has shown that rats have a typical type of brain enzyme that can either enhance or erase long-term memories. By increasing or decreasing the enzyme, it is possible to control the enhancement of a memory, or erase it completely.
In a new breakthrough for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, three research groups have separately reported the discovery of new cardiovascular disease (CAD) risk genes. The international Coronary Artery Disease Genome-Wide Replication and Meta-Analysis (CARDIoGRAM) consortium carried out a meta-analysis of 14 prior genome-wide association studies involving some 87,000 individuals of European ancestry. [...]
A new study has shown that children who grow up in urban areas are more likely to suffer from asthma as compared to children who grow up on farms. Dr. Markus Ege and Professor Erika von Mutius at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) along with an international team of researchers have recently published a large-scale study that proves [...]
After many years of research, the reason behind what causes schizophrenia has finally come forward. Scientists, working in an international team, have finally discovered a gene mutation that is very strongly linked to causing schizophrenia. According to the researchers, the mutations in the VIPR2 gene increased the signaling in the vasoactive intestinal peptide pathway, which [...]
While it might seem unbelievable, MIT engineers have announced that they have managed to design a new type of nanoparticles that could effectively and safely deliver vaccines for diseases such as malaria and HIV. HIV is known to be one of the biggest killers in the world and till now no one has been able [...]
New research from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) has proven that there are very specific changes in the genetic makeup of people suffering from cancer and those who don’t have cancer. The researchers from VBI have developed a new technology that catches these genetic changes, which help in differentiating cancer patients from healthy individuals. The [...]
