Skeletal stem cells de-differentiate to achieve extensive growth
Researchers in the U.S. have discovered that skeletal stem cells in the jaws of adult mice de-differentiate when tasked with regenerating large portions of bone and tissue.
Biomarkers to detect and prevent liver cancer
An increase in the expression of sugar-burning 'glycolytic' enzymes in precancerous cirrhotic livers has been identified and could be used as a biomarker...
Droplet Digital PCR detects and quantifies cancer mutation
Two ddPCR-based assays were developed to detect the two mutations in the promoter region of the TERT gene, which could be used as biomarkers...
Chromatin study unearths link between DNA-protein binding and cancer
A team of scientists led by Stanford University School of Medicine has identified a link between how proteins bind to our DNA and how cancer develops. This finding may allow researchers to predict cancer pathways and long-term patient outcomes.
Water as a biomarker against cancer?
The Tn antigen appears in around 90 percent of cancers, and its structure is greatly affected by the addition of water molecules...
Perrottetinene from moss could be more medically beneficial than hemp
Researchers have found that moss could be more medically beneficial than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is being used illegally to treat various diseases...

GFAP gene mutation creates tangles in brain cells – cause of neurological disease
A recent study in the U.S. has identified how a mutation in the GFAP gene, which encodes for the GFAP protein, causes the tangles in brain cells associated with Alexander disease and may also impact other neurological diseases.
3D image of insulin and its receptor revealed
After combining over 700,000 2D images, researchers have finally been able to build a 3D image of how insulin binds to its receptor...
