Discover what Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is. Its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis. A clear, research-based guide to this common hormonal disorder.
Understand how liver function tests assess liver health, what ALT, AST, bilirubin, ALP, albumin, and GGT measure, and why these blood tests matter.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
Let's talk about Type 2 diabetes, its symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, and the laboratory tests, including HbA1c and blood glucose, that help detect and monitor the condition.
These innovative testes, derived from meticulously cultured mouse cells, closely mimic the structure of natural testes, featuring the complex network of sperm tubes essential for reproduction.
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.

HIV testing is the process of determining whether a person has been infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Depending on the test, HIV testing can detect antibodies produced by the immune system, the HIV p24 antigen, or HIV RNA. Different tests have different detection window periods, and a reactive screening result requires appropriate follow-up testing before an HIV diagnosis is established.
See what kidney function tests measure, including creatinine, eGFR, and urinalysis. Discover how these tests help detect kidney disease and monitor kidney health.
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.
Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
See how the PSA blood test works, what causes elevated PSA levels, and how this important laboratory test supports prostate health and early cancer detection.
Many physical and computational systems exhibit a familiar behavior: ordered states gradually decay in the presence of noise. Examples appear across science:
Ever wonder what it’s like if a tiny chip could detect cancer before symptoms appear. Biosensor technology is transforming cancer detection- earlier, faster and more accessible for people worldwide
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.
Many times, individuals feel fearful or extremely worried about cancer testing. The regular tests and scans that patients living with any cancer diagnosis have to undergo, to monitor their condition, can make them feel anxious before, during, or after a scan or a follow-up test
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).
A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a blood test that measures different types of blood cells and related parameters, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin, haematocrit and red blood cell indices. It can help healthcare professionals investigate conditions such as anaemia, infection, inflammation and certain blood disorders.
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.
