Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
Tiny but powerful, basement membranes support cells, regulate barriers, and drive disease when disrupted—key players in health, aging, and cancer.
Small fruit fly is an excellent model organism used by scientists to study various aspect of human health and diseases such as development, regeneration, wound healing, cancer and stem cell research
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder with classic clinical symptoms such as dementia, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, particularly in the ageing population.
In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.
Out of so many mental disorders, a rare disorder is the Fregoli delusion or Fregoli syndrome (FS), in which an individual holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person, who keeps on changing appearances quickly or is in disguise. People affected with this condition often experience anxiety, paranoia, and agitation. It can impact the patient’s mental health and their safety and the safety of others.
How the fruit fly egg chamber reveals the secrets of cell migration and offers powerful insights into cancer metastasis and future therapies.
You probably know this story: Aurora, also known as the Sleeping Beauty, was a kind princess who was cursed by an angry fairy and fell into a deep sleep for years. On her sixteenth birthday, she pricked her finger, and the spell came true. Silence covered the land, and the entire kingdom fell asleep with her. Years later, the spell could be broken by a kiss from a prince.
I have debunked certain myths surrounding diabetes and explained what it is in a way that is relatable and understandable to my readers. Upon reading the article, you will learn more about your body and what to look out for as well as the importance of routine checks in the lives of an individual.
Artificial Intelligence AI with it’s widespread use in various sectors has also taken a dive into healthcare by transforming clinical practice and improving patient care.
As a pharmacist during clinical clerking, I frequently encounter patients who use the term “toilet infections” to describe symptoms that clinically align with bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, or yeast infections. This widespread misconception often stems from the assumption that symptoms occurring after the use of public toilets must be caused by them.
Learn what dehydration does inside your body from brain function and circulation to temperature control, symptoms, risks, and prevention tips.
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and dynamic ecosystem composed of malignant cells, immune infiltrates, stromal elements, and vascular components that collectively influence tumor initiation, progression, immune escape, and therapeutic response. Traditional bulk transcriptomic approaches obscure this complexity by averaging gene expression across heterogeneous cell populations.
Science writing simplifies complex research, making scientific discoveries accessible, trustworthy, and relevant to the public while reducing misinformation.
The dark fantasy adventure “Alice in Wonderland” has gained widespread appreciation among audiences. However, the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AWS), a brain-related condition, is not something anyone would ever love to experience or witness.
Explaining The Reciprocity Between Your Brain and Your Belly For the past decade, the scientific community has increased its focus on mental health disorders including anxiety, depression,
Today, generalized anxiety disorder is affecting millions of Americans. The disorder usually traps the sufferers in cycles of fear and isolation in a way that even standard treatments cannot relieve completely. UCSF neuroscientist Jennifer Mitchell, PhD, is testing a surprising brand-new approach that can ease symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder by reshaping how the brain thinks and feels.
Healthcare is changing faster than ever before. Thanks to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), genomics, and wearable technology, medicine is entering the era of smart health, where data, devices, and biology work together to create care tailored to the individual.
What if one of the most powerful models for understanding the human brain were less than an inch long, transparent, and living in a small tank? Meet Danio rerio, the zebrafish.
Stem cell therapy research is a promising area of interest for a number of scientists working to understand Parkinson’s disease and develop treatments for it. Read below to learn more about the advancements of stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s.
