Washington: An Indian-American researcher has found that hydrogen sulfide, a short-lived gas that is produced within the human body and has key physiological effects, can impact the brain cells’ ability to use food and glucose. This can eventually result in the destruction of synapses where the cells connect so information can be stored and memories […]
Washington: Researchers have found that enzymes linked to diabetes and obesity appear to play key roles in arthritis and leukemia, potentially opening up new avenues for treating these diverse diseases. “We had never thought about treating rheumatoid arthritis or leukemia by targeting enzymes that produce fatty acids, but this work supports that line of thinking,” […]
Berlin: A South Korean health worker suspected of Ebola was admitted Saturday to Berlin’s Charite, one of the largest university hospitals in Europe, Berlin Senate Department for Health and Social Affairs said Saturday. A member of the South Korean medical team that was in Sierra Leone in action against Ebola has been admitted to the […]
New York: A new version of a common antibiotic could eliminate the side effects associated with the drug – risk of hearing loss and kidney damage, a new research has found. Treatment with aminoglycosides, the most commonly used class of antibiotics worldwide, is often a lifesaving necessity. But an estimated 20-60 percent of all patients […]

London: To turn more virulent and antibiotic-resistant, the bacterium that causes cholera uses a tiny spear to kill neighbouring bacteria, even of its own kind, and then steal their genetic material, shows a new research. This mechanism, known as “horizontal gene transfer”, allows the cholera bacterium to become more virulent by absorbing the traits of […]
New York: A study has shown for the first time that the building blocks of proteins can be assembled without instructions from DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA). A protein, Rqc2, was found playing a role similar to that of mRNA and specifying which amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, to be added in cell […]
Just an hour of exercise thrice a week can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and even reduce risk of falling down in people with early stage of the disease, new research says

Melbourne: A drug combination of artemisinin-naphthoquine should be considered for the treatment of children with malaria, suggests a study. The researchers studied malaria cases in Papua New Guinea. “This regimen should be considered together with other currently available effective (artemisinin combination therapies) for treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Papua New Guinea and similar epidemiologic settings […]
Rome: A team of scientists in Italy has discovered the “hiding place” of HIV virus in cells that holds promise for important developments towards new therapies to cure the disease. The team at the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in the northern city of Trieste photographed the structure of nucleic lymphocites with […]
Seoul: People consuming three to five cups of coffee a day have the lowest risk of clogged arteries and heart attacks, says new research. An international team of researchers led by the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, Seoul, South Korea, set out to examine the association between coffee consumption and the presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) […]
Washington: Two of the four known groups of human AIDS viruses originated in western lowland gorillas in Cameroon, scientists said. The virus that causes almost all the cases of AIDS worldwide, called HIV-1, has jumped species to infect humans on at least four separate occasions, generating four HIV-1 lineages – groups M, N, O, and […]
