Cells create their own fat molecules to build their plasma membranes and other structures. Researchers at the Salk Institute recently discovered a way to obstruct the process to suppress cancer cell growth. Fatty acid synthesis involves a rate-limiting enzyme called acetyl-CoA Read More …

Recently researchers from the University of Ghent built a machine that turns urine into drinkable water using solar energy. The device collects urine in a tank, heating it using a solar powered boiler, which is then passed through a membrane, Read More …

Unexpected outcome was found by researchers at University of Massachusetts Medical School-Salmonella bacteria may help treat resistant tumor cells. A protein called SipA (Salmonella invasion protein A) is produced by the bacteria that render a resistant tumor cell to be sensitive Read More …

Analysis on epidemiological and biological research shed a light on the effect of alcohol in our body. The data strongly point the causal association between alcohol and cancers at seven sites in the body viz: colon, esophagus, female breast, larynx, Read More …

Recently researchers at MIT and the University of California at San Diego tamed E. coli bacterium to release genetically engineered cytotoxic agents into tumor Cells. They use engineered bacteria cells as a drug delivery platform via co-culture with human cancer cells in vitro. Read More …

Researchers from University of Texas at San Antonio recently put forward an idea of Photodynamic therapy to treat and wipe Cancer cells. In contrast to conventional therapies, they made use of pH dynamics as potential target. Accordingly decrease of pHi, Read More …

Metastasis impose a risk and likelihood of fatality to the cancer patients. When the secondary tumor arise, it is difficult to be managed. Chances are that the tumor re-appears. There have been many studies in mechanism of metastasis. Recently researchers Read More …
