Scientists create novel method to identify healthy and cancerous cells
Tokyo, April 19: Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan on Saturday said they have found that the motion of unlabelled cells can be used to tell whether they are cancerous or healthy.
Scientists find new way of using cells to prevent cancer
Sydney, March 17: Australian researchers have identified a surprising mechanism focusing on telomeres -- protective caps at the ends of chromosomes -- that can help cells defend against cancer.
Mitochondria may hold key to curing diabetes: Study
Michigan, February 9: Mitochondria are responsible for creating energy, which fuels cells and keeps them functioning. However, mitochondrial abnormalities have been linked to the development of disorders like type 2 diabetes. Patients with this illness are unable to produce enough insulin or use the insulin produced by their pancreas to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Powerhouses of the cell may help cure diabetes, say researchers
New York, Feb 9: Mitochondria, that produce energy for the cell, holds the key to curing diabetes, researchers have learned.
Most engineered human cells created for studying disease
England, February 1: Scientists have successfully engineered the most complicated human cell lines ever, indicating that our genomes are more tolerant to significant structural alterations than previously assumed.
