Mutations in our genes can lead to severe problems, like colon or liver cancer. But cancer is very complex. Mutations in the same genes can lead to different subtypes of tumors in different people. Currently, there is no good way to produce such tumor subtypes for study. Now, scientists created a method to model certain liver cancer tumor subtypes using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9.

Astronomers at MIT and universities across Canada and the United States have detected a strange and persistent radio signal from a far-off galaxy that appears to be flashing with surprising regularity.

The University of Bristol is currently calling out for volunteers in order to carry out a study which will help researchers to find out if the shingles vaccine at the same time as the flu or Covid-19 vaccine.

Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas produce a strong antimicrobial natural product, as researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) in Jena, Germany, have discovered. They proved that the substances called keanumycins are effective against both plant fungal diseases and human-pathogenic fungi.

The digital twin technology is making waves in the healthcare industry with major pharma players and research institutes exploring the smart technology to unveil new opportunities and revolutionizing the sector like never before. Right from real-time simulation of a vaccine manufacturing process to visualizing the simulations for disease prevention and treatment, the digital twin technology boasts of innumerable advantages. Read on to find out more about this smart and innovative technology.

An experiment, elegant in its simplicity, helps explain why water becomes electrified when it touches hydrophobic surfaces.

The world’s largest study has concluded that walking everyday even if it’s less than 5,000 steps could lower your risk of death. The study adds that the more one walks, the greater the health benefits.

While ingestible video capsule endoscopes have been around for many years, the capsules have been limited by the fact that they could not be controlled by physicians. Now, according to a first-of-its-kind research study at George Washington University, physicians can remotely drive a miniature video capsule to all regions of the stomach to visualize and photograph potential problem areas.

Researchers have developed a new low-calorie sweetener which is as sweet as table sugar and could improve gut health. The newly discovered mixture is yet to be studied closely but initial findings reveal that the mixture has the potential to increase the levels of multiple gut microbes that are beneficial for people.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge programmed their robotic chef with a cookbook of eight simple salad recipes. After watching a video of a human demonstrating one of the recipes, the robot was able to identify which recipe was being prepared and make it.
