New Biomarker to Diagnose Vascular Dementia
Sometimes it can be challenging for doctors to detect whether the patient’s cognitive impairment originates from Alzheimer’s disease or vascular problems. These are the two major reasons to cause vascular dementia. Usually, doctors rely on MRI or CAT scans to…
An In-Vitro Fully Human Ovarian Organoid Supporting Egg Cell Maturation
We all start as egg cells in our mother’s ovaries. Scientists have been working on generating in vitro models for the ovaries so that we can study more about them since the female reproductive organs are surprisingly understudied till now….

How Regulatory T cells impact on self-reactive T cells
There are 3 main types of T cells: Cytotoxic, helper, and regulatory T cells. Cytotoxic T cells have CD8 as a co-receptor on their cell surface whereas, CD4+ T cells are divided into Regulatory T cells (Treg) and Helper T…
Cell mechanism that could help counter Cancer and Aging
Epigenetic memory is a key cell mechanism in processing of life that can controls the inheritance of functional characteristics of a normal cell into the new cell having newly acquired properties. In this activity cell remembers its originality while dividing…
Record-breaking copper catalyst converts CO2 into liquid fuels
Since the 1970s, scientists have known that copper has a special ability to transform carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels. But for many years, scientists have struggled to understand how this common metal works as an electrocatalyst, a mechanism…
