Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurological disorders caused by the death of dopamine-secreting neurons in the brain due to aggregation of synuclein protein inside it.
A team of scientists has developed a new method of scanning lungs that is able to show the effects of treatment on lung function in real time, enabling them to see the functioning of transplanted lungs.
Scientists at the Bose Institute, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), have studied archaea -- a domain of ancient organisms -- to find clues to survival strategies of microorganisms by adapting to harsh conditions with the help of their toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems.
In a new study by Chicago-based Northwestern Medicine in the US and published in the journal Science Advances, scientists sought to better understand how humans evolved to become so skilled at thinking about what’s happening in other peoples’ minds.
Now scientists have uncovered what exactly is in cocaine that makes it such a dreaded narcotic substance.
PAH is characterised by elevated blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, which can lead to heart failure and reduced oxygen levels in the bloodstream.
Scientists have identified a new mechanism used by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox and shingles, to evade the immune system and potentially affect distant tissues.
Spurred by climate change and global trade, pathogens that cause plant diseases and crop-destroying pests are increasing and spreading far and wide.
Parkinson's is characterised by rigidity of muscle and tremors due to loss of dopamine in the brain, and one of the reasons for that is toxin exposure.
