Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
Using a simple childhood observation as the starting point, we show how shifting from origin-based to boundary-based thinking resolves infinite regress and opens a clearer way to engage with fundamental concepts in physics, time, and existence
You slept last night and woke up with a pimple popping up on your face! It would make you feel angry and depressed. Isn’t it? This could be hormonal acne. Hormonal acne could appear as common forms of acne, such as whiteheads, or more severe types of acne, such as nodules and cysts. Let us delve into and learn more about hormonal acne and various ways to deal with it.
Explore how Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) works, its role in hard-to-abate industries, and how geology helps trap CO₂ to combat climate change.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, claiming over a million lives each year. TB is the deadliest infectious disease known today, claiming more lives than COVID-19. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB spreads through the air when infected people breathe, cough, sneeze,
Discover how the SNAP29 gene guides cellular traffic, and how its mutation leads to CEDNIK syndrome, affecting brain, nerves, and skin.
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.
Evolution is often imagined as a process that unfolds over millions of years. However, in microorganisms such as yeasts, evolutionary changes can occur much more rapidly. Yeasts reproduce quickly, populations grow to large sizes, and genetic variations can spread through generations in a short time.
Why is mucus the biggest obstacle to lung drug delivery? Explore the mucosal barrier science reshaping how we design inhaled medicines and vaccines.
Natural polysaccharides like locust bean gum and chitosan are replacing lactose as safer, more effective carriers for inhaled medications and vaccines.
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process that occurs through four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. To repair tissue damage, the body works intensively, thereby significantly increasing cellular metabolic demands.
Understanding the human brain remains one of the greatest challenges in modern science. With billions of neurons forming intricate networks and constantly changing connections, the brain’s complexity makes it extremely difficult to study directly.
A magnificent nonsurgical radiofrequency (RF) therapy, which involves using energy waves to heat the dermis (the deep layer of the skin), has evolved as one of the finest treatments for skin tightening. The healthcare provider uses an electromagnetic device that generates heat to stimulate collagen production, the production of elastin, and the growth of new skin cells. This therapy helps firm and lift sagging skin. However, the results are temporary.
Learn what dehydration does inside your body from brain function and circulation to temperature control, symptoms, risks, and prevention tips.
Cell and gene therapies represent a seismic shift in healthcare. They promise to cure the incurable, restoring sight to the blind and erasing cancer from the blood. But this frontier is wild. It comes with biological price tags, potential genetic misfires, and a regulatory landscape that is still being mapped.
Antibiotic resistance is making common infections hard to treat. Learn why it happens, how it affects communities in Nigeria and beyond, and what we can do to protect these life-saving medicines.
ISO/IEC 17025 compliance defines how testing and calibration laboratories demonstrate technical competence. In India, the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) grants accreditation based on this international standard (ISO, 2017).
How the fruit fly egg chamber reveals the secrets of cell migration and offers powerful insights into cancer metastasis and future therapies.
Nanotechnology is having a big impact on pharmaceutical sciences, and drug delivery systems are one area where this is most evident. Compared to conventional medication delivery methods, nanoparticles provide a number of benefits, including increased effectiveness and fewer adverse drug reactions.
