Chronic liver damages like viral activity, exposure to chemical pollutants, immune processes, metabolic disorders or even primary or secondary cancer growth lead to liver fibrosis. About 400,000 people died in the USA from "chronic liver disease and...
It is indeed sad when you see your near and dear ones suffering from a painful disease, for which, the treatment as well, is as painful as the disease itself -- like cancer. While Radiotherapy has treated cancer far more effectively than any other...
Stem cell therapy is believed to be the next generation biomedical therapy that will revolutionize the world of medicine. The greatest problem involved in stem cell research is discovering easy ways of attaining stem cells. Stem cells are...
Can light beams be made to curve? Not possibly by obeying the laws of nature, but an optical trick can fool our eyes into believing that light rays can actually be bended. It is believed that light beams while passing through a black hole in which the...
It’s in the Genes- yes! Scientists have finally found out the reason behind the problem which is affecting more and more people worldwide- Obesity. According to a study done by a group of scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of...
DNA being created in the test tube is something we have all heard of. Cloning the parent DNA to create a daughter DNA are the terms our brains seemed to have assimilated. However, what we have never heard of is about the new way scientists have found to...
