A team of researchers together with several members from Johns Hopkins discovered that HIV treatment with antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) can actually prevent the transmission of the virus from an infected person to his or her uninfected partner. This latest discovery has been named as the “Breakthrough of the Year” for 2011. HPTN 052, the clinical […]
Engineers of University of Illinois have invented a self-developing system that repairs electrical conductivity to a cracked circuit in less time than it takes to blink. Professor Scott White of aerospace engineering and Professor Nancy Sottos of materials science and engineering had organized and led the study which is to be published soon. According to […]
Experts discovered recently that MicroRNAs or miRNAs are tiny RNA molecules that have about 20 nucleotides and do not code for proteins. Further, they regulate many important processes in cells by binding to target messenger RNAs. The production of some miRNAs in cancer is often reduced or amplified. This affects miRNAs that control the activity […]
Headed by Dr. Peter Mazzone of Metabolomx, a diagnostic company that studies early detection of metabolomics signature of cancer merely from exhaled breath, announced its publicized results. The study was conducted at the Cleveland Clinic breath where samples were drawn from 229 individuals, 92 with biopsy-proven, untreated lung cancer and 137 either at a risk […]
According to scientists, the plant kingdom is a great source for new medicines. New York Botanical Garden scientists revealed that there are probably 500 useful chemicals among plants that are waiting to be discovered. These chemical constituents may be developed into new drugs or may be used as basis for other studies. Currently, there are […]
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found a new way to develop antibodies that neutralize the harmful protein particles that causes Alzheimer’s disease. The discovered process is a structure-based design of conformation- and sequence-specific antibodies against amyloid β used as a tool to understand complex ailment pathology and develop new antibody-based drugs for future use. […]
Experts said that nuns and women who never had children are prone to breast, ovarian and uterine cancers, compared with mothers. In addition, researchers said that contraceptive pills can help reduce the risk of having reproductive cancers.

An Influenza virus found in pigs has now been transmitted to humans, making public health officials review some of the lessons learned from H1N1 pandemic in 2009. Since July 10, many cases have already been reported to who have acquired the evolved virus. Among were children below 10 years of age. According to reports, a […]
Latest news on cancer studies showed that researchers have found ways to trap a glucose-eating cancer cell to their doom. Guy Perkins of the University of California at San Diego stated that since cancer cells rely on glucose for growth and development, scientists have tricked cancer cells in acting on sugar that will eventually poison […]
A joint group of researchers from Cleveland has published their studies about a one-time injection for spinal cord injury which can lessen pain for a much longer period, specifically 8 months or more. A protein called Fibronectin that is found in humans supports the growth and connection of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. […]
