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.
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.
Understand how liver function tests assess liver health, what ALT, AST, bilirubin, ALP, albumin, and GGT measure, and why these blood tests matter.
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.
Learn how the leading cause of death worldwide activates the immune system and how making a few lifestyle changes can decrease your risk of severe chronic disease.
In Sci-fi visions of distant futures, some imagine sprawling intergalactic civilizations. Scaffolds built around stars harvesting their energy. Fusion reactors, cyborgs, superintelligent implants. But the future of artificial bones, though perhaps more mundane, could be a life saving science.
Natural polysaccharides like locust bean gum and chitosan are replacing lactose as safer, more effective carriers for inhaled medications and vaccines.
Explore the multi-organ cellular mapping of GLP-1 receptor agonists. Discover how GLP-1RAs act as a systemic shield across T2DM, obesity, PMOS, MASH and so on.
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.
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.
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.
Tiny but powerful, basement membranes support cells, regulate barriers, and drive disease when disrupted—key players in health, aging, and cancer.
What does stress actually do to your body? Explore the neurobiology of the survival response, from the immediate SAM axis to the the HPA axis, and learn how to restore your biological equilibrium.
Plant mucilage is a thick, glue-like substance produced by plants that helps with seed germination, water and nutrient storage, and defense. Flax and chia seeds are rich sources of mucilage and have various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
A future without transplant waitlists? Tissue engineering blends biology and engineering to build living, functional human tissue.
This architecture is essential for shielding neurons from toxins, pathogens, and fluctuations in the bloodstream, but it also creates a devastating bottleneck for modern medicine. More than 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all large biological therapeutics fail to cross the BBB in meaningful amounts, leaving many promising treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, and inflammatory diseases stranded in the circulation.
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.
See what kidney function tests measure, including creatinine, eGFR, and urinalysis. Discover how these tests help detect kidney disease and monitor kidney health.
Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.
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
