Study suggests how nucleolar DNA damage response to cancer treatment
Updated : 3 days, 1 hour ago IST
Proteins are required for cancer to spread throughout the body, which affects millions of people each year. Scientists are sabotaging the disease's protein factories in an attempt to defeat it.

Study reveals how whole genome doubling drives cancer
Updated : 4 days, 5 hours ago IST
Two to three metres of DNA can fit inside a single cell, thus it can only be stored by being wound tightly into coils. The answer is chromatin, a compound of DNA encased in histone-like proteins. This complex gradually folds into the multi-layered arrangement of loops, domains, and compartme

Updated : 3 weeks, 5 days ago IST
PCB2DG, an anti-inflammatory polyphenol, inhibits glutamine absorption by targeting and directly interacting with the main glutamine transporter protein, alanine serine cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2). This reduction in intracellular glutamine accumulation in CD4+ T cells also inhibits the pr

MP: AIIMS Bhopal introduces Millets in diet of admitted patients
Updated : 1 month ago IST
Millets are nutrient-rich grains that are high in proteins, minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibre. They have several health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart diseases, diabetes and obesity. Moreover, millets are gluten-free, which makes them ideal for people with gluten sensitivity

Study discover neurological disease involving cellular recycling process
Updated : 1 month ago IST
ATG4D assists in the autophagy process, which cells utilise to digest and recycle harmed proteins and other damaged parts of the cell to maintain health. Although all cells in the body use autophagy, neurons rely on it more than other cells do in order to survive. However, little is understo

Protein droplets may cause many types of genetic diseases: Research
Updated : 1 month, 1 week ago IST
Most proteins localize to distinct protein-rich droplets in cells, also known as "cellular condensates". Such proteins contain sequence features that function as address labels, telling the protein which condensate to move into. When the labels get screwed up, proteins may end up in the wron

Researchers suggest new device to detect brain cancer using urine
Updated : 1 month, 2 weeks ago IST
The presence of a brain tumour can be determined by identifying a crucial membrane protein in urine, according to research from Nagoya University in Japan. By eliminating the need for intrusive tests and raising the possibility that tumours are found early enough for surgery, their protein m
