Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified key aspects within the mechanism behind DNA repair in our bodies. For the primary time, they showed that the “proofreading” portion of the DNA replicating enzyme polymerase epsilon ensured secure termination of replication at damaged portions of the DNA strand, ultimately saving DNA from severe damage. This recent […]
Researchers from the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE), Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have discovered a brand new stress signaling system that […]
University of Texas at Dallas scientists have discovered a previously unknown “housekeeping” process in kidney cells that ejects unwanted content, leading to cells that rejuvenate themselves and remain functioning and healthy. The self-renewal process, which is fundamentally different from how other bodily tissues are thought to regenerate, helps explain how, barring injury or disease, the […]

First, the doctors were puzzled, but they soon realized that it was a results of elevated blood sugar levels. This was one in every of the primary things we learned about cancer patients.” Lykke Sylow, Associate Professor The sweet-smelling urine suggested that cancer […]
