Cancer cells are masters of disguise, evading immune destruction through cunning mechanisms. Groundbreaking research reveals a novel tactic: mitochondrial transfer. Cancer cells cripple immune cells by donating their damaged mitochondria, hindering the immune response and fostering tumour growth.
Researchers from Oxford Population Health's Cancer Epidemiology Unit have identified specific proteins in the blood that may predict a person's risk of developing various cancers over seven years before diagnosis.
A recent study led by the Molecular and Cellular Neurobiotechnology group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the University of Barcelona...
Researchers have found evidence suggesting that lifestyle factors may play a pivotal role in mitigating the risk of Alzheimer's disease, even among individuals carrying the ApoE4 gene variant.
Scientists at Moffitt Cancer Center have revealed a hidden layer of cellular intelligence that questions the traditional understanding of how cells operate.
Ron Gutman, inventor, serial healthcare and technology entrepreneur, and Stanford University adjunct professor, discusses the emergence of genomic sequencing as a vital tool in mitigating global public health threats.
The European Parliament voted to ease regulatory oversights on crops created through gene editing, which significantly departed from its longstanding suspicion towards genetically engineered organisms.
Is there a way to mend a broken heart? Biomedical engineers have found a potential way to mend a broken heart using a genetic mutation commonly associated with skin cancers.
According to hair stylists, 68% of women are unhappy about their hair. How women feel about our hair correlates strongly with our feelings. The most common complaints are that our hair is 'too dry', 'it's falling out', or it 'grows too slowly'.
Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, have unveiled a pivotal connection between genetic changes in microglia, immune-regulating brain cells, and the inflammatory response associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
