Here is yet another source of the disease-remedy for diabetics - tobacco! The link between tobacco and diabetes may appear bizarre for you. But, when the scientific world conspires for something, it is destined to happen - no matter how unusual it...
Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) scientists have recently managed to create a 3D image of a living cell! The method is similar to the xray CT scan technology used by the doctors today. This is a major breakthrough in medical history.

Humans have shown occasional signs of altruistic behavior i.e. helping others without thinking about the results or personal benefits.Chimpanzees have shown similar signs as well. Recently a study conducted by scientists at the Ngamba Island...
After cloning and mutations, the scientists seem to have grown desperate to venture into new worlds of innovations. And the result -- scientists have surprisingly transformed a bacteria species into another species completely for the first...
While cancer can be prevented by changing major preventable causes and elements of one's lifestyles, be it tobacco use, physical inactivity, obesity or poor nutrition, it also has got several curative procedures.
But, most of the procedures are...
A company have claimed that -- they have been able to repair the eye site in genetically altered mice using embryonic stem cells to repair damage.
Massachusetts based Advanced Cell Technology have stated that they have been able to create blood...
Soon it would be possible that doctors can detect tuberculosis within one minute with the help of bio-sensors. Scientists from Thailand based Srinakharinwirot University's nanotechnology centre are close to develop a new technology, which will...
Researchers in the United States have isolated a set of four genes closely linked to the growth of breast cancer cells and their spread to the lungs, according to a study released on Wednesday.
The study, conducted in mice and reported in this...
US scientists claim to have genetically engineered a strain of virus capable of destroying cancerous cells. In a study published last Friday in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, scientists at Jennerex Biotherapeutics in San Francisco genetically...
Viruses have been the major life threatening microorganisms since time immemorial. All viruses are infective unlike all bacteria that can also be beneficial. Viruses are known to cause various types of cancers also such as Hodgkin's, non-Hodgkin's...
Scientists have for the first time developed flu vaccine from the yellow striped caterpillars instead of the hen eggs. While the current method of using hen eggs is a lengthy procedure, the new method is quicker and easier.
In the method currently...
The creation of sperm cells may no longer remain a mystery as researchers for the first time have used human bone marrow for creation of early stage sperm cells. This development is expected to improve the understanding regarding how sperm cells are...
Researchers are working to imitate the genetic mechanism of the common flour beetle in malaria resistant mosquitoes which might help in fighting the incapacitating parasitic disease which kills people between 700,000 and 2.7 million yearly. Biologist...
Traditional flu vaccines are developed using eggs of hen and this is a time consuming process but now researchers are using genetic engineering to produce flu vaccine. Instead of eggs yellow striped caterpillars have been used for producing the...
Who said India lags behind in the arena of stem cell research? The country is growing at the rate of fifteen percent per year in the stem cell market arena and will reach the figures of $ 540 million by 2010. India has around fifteen centers which are...
