Jeffery Martin, an undergraduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has found out that a spoonful of sugar can be so useful that it can actually create an artificial Golgi apparatus.
Jeffery has practically used his basic lessons on sugar by creating a lab-on-a-chip device which builds complex, highly specialized sugar molecules which imitate the […]
Investigators at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have revealed that an electrically powered amplification mechanism in the cochlea of the ear is of prime concern to the acute hearing of human beings and other mammals. The study has made an attempt to find whether the malfunction of this amplification machinery by the genetic mutation […]
Parents do take care of their children but beyond a particular age parents start assuming that their kids have perhaps grown more responsible and can thus take better care of themselves. But parents, did you know that you all have to actually start paying extra heed to the harmful effects of lead exposure at the […]
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that the removal or changes within the TFAP2A gene (Activating Enhancer-Binding Protein) have resulted in the unique clefting disorder Branchio-Oculo-Facial syndrome (BOFS).
The disorder is different basically due to its skin anomalies which entails the neck and behind the ear portion. The other skin abnormalities […]
Most women do not exactly know as to when they would precisely reach the menopausal stage. However, the good news is that it may now be possible, as suggested by researchers in the Netherlands, who will now find out the menopause age of a woman through the levels of a hormone called anti-Mullerian hormone […]
People tired of rashes and itchy skin, irritation in the nose and throat, watery eyes, uneasiness and giddiness after an allergic reaction, can breathe a sigh of relief. The time to be dependent on allopathic medication and that too without positive results is passé. Scientists have found a more efficient, safe and natural remedy […]
What more could be asked from a mother than a warm hug! The same holds true with premature infants also. This experience cannot be described in words. It can be just felt through a warm touch of cuddling and pampering. It’s an easy way to treat an infant who is born 10 to 12 […]
A new step towards understanding social behaviour of a person has been taken by two teams of researchers. One team led by Norihiro Sadato of the Japanese National Institute for Physiological Sciences and Keise Izuma of the Graduate University for Advanced Studies found that the excitement coming from creating a reputation for oneself by […]
The menstrual cycle of women could prove to be of greater scientific usage. According to a newly conducted research, the menstrual blood would be of higher usage as it is indefinite in nature and can actually be used or collected. The findings show that the menstrual blood is an important medium of multi-potential stem […]
Scientists at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a new strategy to fight against and reverse cardiac fibrosis. They have come across a molecule Epac which can act as an anti-fibriotic agent. The research is aimed at patients who have suffered an infection of the heart muscle or a heart […]
