Melbourne, May 13 (ANI): A Victorian man - clinically dead for 40 minutes - was brought back to life with the help of an Australian-first resuscitation technique.

Washington, Apr 18 (ANI): The human body has the ability to ward off viruses by activating a naturally occurring protein at the cellular level, setting off a chain reaction that disrupts the levels of cholesterol required in cell membranes to enable viruses to enter cells, a new study has found.

Washington, January 16 (ANI): Researchers have come up with a technique to embed needle-like carbon nanofibers in an elastic membrane, creating a flexible "bed of nails" on the nanoscale that opens the door to development of new drug-delivery systems.

Washington, December 21 (ANI): In a new study, researchers have address the question of where all the energy, which drove metabolism and replication in the first protocells, came from and why all life as we know it conserves energy in the peculiar form of ion gradients across membranes.

Washington, June 7 (ANI): A fatty membrane in the belly called the omentum, which until recently didn't seem to serve much purpose, appears to play an important role in regulating the immune system, according to a new study.

Washington, Mar 28 (ANI): Researchers have come up with a gut-on-a-chip microdevice lined by living human cells that mimics the structure, physiology, and mechanics of the human intestine.

Washington, March 17 (ANI): Researchers have found a way to create temporary holes in the membranes of live cells to print them onto slides using a standard inkjet printer.

London, Jan 23 (ANI): Scientists have now devised a new method to cool semiconductor membranes using laser light, which could pave the way for cooling components in quantum computers and ultrasensitive sensors.

Washington, Oct 9 (ANI): A new study shows that saturated fats activate a key metabolic pathway associated with the development of type 2 diabetes, while polyunsaturated fats like omega-3s shut this pathway down.

London, Sept 19 (ANI): Researchers from the University of Reading have successfully developed sac membrane in the lab using stem cells from placentas obtained after births.

Washington, August 23 (ANI): Scientists at Tel Aviv University's Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine have successfully collected cells from oral mucosa - the membrane that lines the inside of our mouths - and manipulated them into stem cells.
