Just spice it up!!!!! Anti bacterial effects of spices unraveled in the West
The West is now sitting up and taking in the aroma of Indian cuisine. The inseparable part of Indian kitchens, the spices are now the subjects of research by scientists at the Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. Dr. Daniel Y. C. Fung and colleagues who conducted the study opine that cinnamon, apart from filling the air with its spicy aroma can also double up as an anti bacterial...Link Between Hepatitis C And Liver Cancer Unraveled By Scientists
The exact mechanism by which Hepatitis C could cause liver cancers is has been very poorly understood in the previous years. Researchers from the University of Texas have now discovered a biochemical pathway// believed to play a key role in the association between liver cancer and Hepatitis C. The link or association is very similar to the already established link between the human papill...Genetic mystery behind muscle development unraveled.
New genes such as microRNAs (miRNAs) belong to the newly discovered group of genes. Researchers working at the University of North Carolina have discovered two genes // belonging to the microRNA group. These genes function was later attributed to the proper development of muscles in the organism. The microRNAs were initially discovered (1993) in the genome of the worms. The genes hav...Mystery behind Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Unraveled
A new study said that complex regional pain syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by continuous nerve injury affecting small fibers which has the ability to sense pain. // This syndrome includes all the post-traumatic limb pain and other disturbances that continue even though the injury has healed. But the causes of the symptoms of the syndrome are unknown. This is due to...Mystery behind the Formation of Vertebral Precursors Unraveled
Snail belongs to the extensively studied family of transcription factors. The Snail factors are known to control the transition of the epithelium to a mesenchyme state in cancer. //They are thought to play a role in controlling tumor invasion. Jacqueline Kim Dale, Ph.D., formerly a Senior Research Associate at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, and Olivier Pourquié, Ph.D., Stow...
