Preventing disease by targeting new approaches for mosquito control
New System for a Cost-Effective and Fully Automated Blood Test
A team of Chinese researchers developed a cost-effective and fully automated blood counting system that can be used by trained and untrained users.
Muscle Cell Response of Artery Tissue Revealed by Raman Scattering
A team of North American researchers developed an epi-SRS imaging platform for functional imaging of VSMCs in fresh coronary arteries which could support in developing new strategies for cardiovascular disease treatment.
Cancer Metastasis Put Under the Microscope
The process of metastasis, in which cancer cells migrate to distant organs from the primary tumor region, is the key pathological event responsible for 90% of all of the cancer-related deaths. The critical early steps of the metastatic cascade of events, namely...
Gene Changes: Chromatin Modifications in Metabolic Disease
Modifications to chromatin are associated with the development of metabolic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes and obesity. There is evidence that these chromatin modifications can lead to long-term disease risk and increased disease risk for offspring.
Cellular Reprogramming: A New Way to Understand Aging Mechanisms
This rise in the elderly population brings forward the concept of healthy aging and encourages scientists to conduct extensive research in cellular reprogramming.
