Meiosis’s century-old riddle is resolved by mutation
By a process called crossover, meiosis produces genetically different reproductive cells, in contrast to somatic cell division, which splits and copies the DNA identically.
A newly designed drug candidate can make pancreatic cancer treatable
Researchers at UC San Francisco have created a medication that might potentially provide a cure for pancreatic cancer, an almost always fatal illness.
Blocking the DNA triplication by a newly discovered protein
This is a previously unidentified natural “anti-failure” mechanism in the DNA replicating process.
Research: Links between fetal brain development and placental oxygen
Researchers employ MRI to demonstrate how placental health may affect a child’s behaviour and cognitive development.
Gut bacteria can cause inherited eye diseases which lead to blindness
A recent study in mice co-led by a researcher from Moorfields and UCL suggests that gut bacteria may be the cause of sight loss in certain hereditary eye illnesses, and that antimicrobials may be able to cure the condition.
Omalizumab – A study on kids reveals that the drug can limit dangerous reactions to allergy-triggering foods
A drug that attaches itself to antibodies that cause allergies can save kids from harmful responses when they unintentionally consume foods that cause allergies.
Meiosis: Definition, Stages, Mechanism, and Diagram
In species capable of sexual reproduction, a form of cell division known as meiosis takes place. Gametes, which are specialized reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) [Read More…]
Research: Deadly snakebite toxins can be neutralized with a synthetic antibody
This is the first time that this particular strategy is being applied to develop antibodies for snakebite treatment.
Research: Scientists developed a novel radiotracer for the earlier detection of diseases
The utilisation of fructose by cells for energy may now be mapped, thanks to a novel radiotracer termed [18F]4-FDF, which was created by researchers at the [Read More…]
