Washington, September 11 (ANI): People can develop liver disease even when they are exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke, according to a study.

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have found that exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke can lead to non-alcoholic fatty [...]

Washington, Sept 4(ANI): Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute have discovered a gene responsible for progressive hearing loss.

The has team found a gene, called Loxhd1, which is necessary for maintaining proper functioning hair cells in the inner ear.

However, mutations in this gene can lead to [...]

Washington, August 25 (ANI): Scientists have discovered a previously unknown species of predatory crustaceans in the Canary Islands, which have a head equipped with long antennae for eyes, powerful prehensile limbs and poisonous fangs.

The species was found by an international team of scientists and cave divers in the Tunnel de la Atlantida, the world’s longest [...]

Washington, July 6 (ANI): Wake Forest University scientists have identified unique chemical markers for detecting the presence of a compound called nitroxyl in biological systems, an achievement that can boost cardiac drug research.

The researchers point out that nitroxyl-a cousin to the blood-vessel relaxing compound nitric oxide-has already been [...]

Washington, July 4 (ANI): Researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) have shown that there are certain molecular differences between embryonic stem cells and skin cells skin cells reprogrammed into embryonic-like cells.

Their work has made them the first ever research team to show that the two cell types are clearly distinguishable from each [...]

Washington, May 21 (ANI): Researchers at Iowa State University, US, have discovered a previously unknown genetic pathway in plant cells that regulates plant growth.

Yanhai Yin, an assistant professor in genetics, development and cell biology, Iowa State University, examined signaling mechanisms of a [...]

Washington, May 14 (ANI): Men, who don’t know when to stop using contraceptive methods after vasectomy, can now resort to a medical home test kit based on a protein discovered at the University of Virginia Health System, called SpermCheck Vasectomy.

The new product line could revolutionize the way men around the world monitor their reproductive status.

“The [...]

STANFORD, Calif.–(Business Wire)–
The more dots there are, the more accurate a picture you get when you connect
them. A new imaging technology could give scientists the ability to
simultaneously measure as many as 100 or more distinct features in or on a
single cell. In a disease such as cancer, that capability would provide a much
better picture of [...]

London, Apr 13 (ANI): Contradicting the belief that women are born with a finite number of eggs, scientists have discovered stem cells in the ovaries of adult mice that seem to give rise to new eggs and healthy offspring.

If confirmed in humans, the above findings may revolutionise female reproduction by paving the way for women [...]

London, Mar 24 (ANI): In a collaborative effort, scientists in the US and Canada have identified a cellular process that seeks out and fights herpes virus- Type 1 herpes simplex (HSV-1).

The finding has uncovered a new way for our immune system to combat the elusive [...]

Washington, March 18 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine say that a potential cure for Alzheimer’s disease may require a combination therapy, which will target the malformations of the proteins that characterise this condition.

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by two distinctive protein malformations: amyloid plaques, which are sticky deposits [...]

London, January 21 (ANI): A collaborative study has revealed that groups of highly social bacteria maintain order by periodically reversing direction.

Microbiologist Dale Kaiser of Stanford University in California and Mark Alber at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana say that groups of myxobacteria change direction at regular intervals in search of food, heading back [...]
