Srabani Roy Chowdhury, MAKAUT, WB Cartilage is considered to be a shock absorber in joints. It is also considered to be highly susceptible to damage due to any trauma or injuries from sports or falls or just daily wear and tear. Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a novel method to harness human cartilage tissue […]
Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology When implanted in mice, the gene-modified cells will produce a biological medicine that can cure inflammation, allowing the researchers in St. Louis to create therapies for rheumatoid arthritis that have minimal adverse effects. Rheumatoid arthritis, a severe illness that affects about 1.3 million individuals in the United States, […]
Sugnyan Shivakumar, JSS Science and Technology University Understanding Stem Cells Stem cells are cells that can transform themselves into specialized cell types in the body that can be used as a replacement for injured cells and tissues. Potten and Loeffler, 1990 in their review came up with a functional definition for stem cells as undifferentiated […]

Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have recently been discovered in a number of different cancers, including pancreatic cancers. These are called pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs). Pancreatic cancer is a frequently occurring cancer with a bad prognosis. Evidence suggests that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has biological activities that contribute to […]
Mustafa Vora, DY Patil University Navi Mumbai Scientists have recently discovered two types of novel brain cells that are found to be glial cells. One of them is called a gordita, which is an astrocyte, a type of glial cells. The name ‘gorditas’ comes from the plum-shaped appearance of the squat and round cell bodies. […]
Diya Adhikary, Amity University Kolkata The spinal cord, a long bundle of nerves and cells, extends from the end of the brain stem (medulla oblongata) to almost the bottom of the spine (lumbar region of the vertebral column). The body’s central supporting structure plays a vital role in conducting signals to and from the brain […]
Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Following the resolution of long-standing technical challenges by scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, scientists can now study changes in the DNA of any human tissue for the first time. The new method, known as nanorate sequencing (NanoSeq), allows researchers to study how genetic changes occur in human tissues […]
