Between 1994 and 2023, human tolerances for temperature and humidity—beyond which the body cannot cope—were found to have been breached in about 2 per cent of the world’s land
The 32-year-old woman from Buldhana district was detected with the rare congenital anomaly, in which a malformed fetus is located within the body of another fetus
Brain cancer presents a unique set of challenges for researchers because by the time a person develops symptoms, the tumours are sometimes so complicated that the fundamental mechanisms driving tumour growth are no longer easily identifiable. A research team led by Dr. Peter Dirks is aiming to overcome this obstacle for sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths
In addition to changes in gut microbiota, researchers also found associations between sugary beverage consumption and 56 serum metabolite
In the absence of genomic architecture of cancers prevalent in India, specific genetic variants from Indian cancers are not adequately captured and catalogued for any diagnostic kits and drug development
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, in partnership with leading institutions around the world, have devised an innovative multi-stage clinical trial method that aims to revolutionise personalised medical care.
Ahead of World Cancer Day, The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras on Monday launched Bharat cancer genome atlas.
In 2022, the WHO South-East Asia Region had 2.4 million new cases of cancer, including 56,000 children, and 1.5 million deaths
The researchers have identified a rare type of immune cell, called stem-like T cells, that holds the key to maintaining powerful, long-term immune responses against cancer and other chronic infections.
The study also demonstrated, for the first time, that an individual’s genetic tendencies also play a role in determining how bitter roasting substances influence a coffee’s taste
Prolonged illnesses, such as cancer and persistent infections, can fatigue the immune system, causing its frontline defenders, T cells, to lose their ability to act efficiently.
People receiving haemodialysis for kidney failure frequently feel chronic pain associated with their disease, which can be difficult to manage with opioid medication and other traditional treatments.
Scientists have successfully engineered the most complicated human cell lines ever, indicating that our genomes are more tolerant to significant structural alterations than previously assumed.
An autoimmune disorder, it can be triggered by the immune response to some viral or bacterial infections
There is no universal ‘right’ age to plan a pregnancy. Gynaecologists, however, recommend that having a child before the mid-30s can minimise risks. Understanding how age, lifestyle and fertility impact pregnancy can help couples make informed decisions
The antibodies target a stable part of the bird flu virus, ensuring that the immune protection can resist new variants and offer long-term protection against the globally spreading airborne infection. It helps in preventing severe bird flu in monkeys.
Vertex's drug works differently, blocking proteins that trigger pain signals that are later sent to the brain
Working memory helps a person follow instructions they’ve just been given or to mentally visualise and manipulate information, like solving a math problem
All three persons die in government hospitals in Kolkata and Hooghly district
A Covid-19 diagnosis is no longer as frightening as it used to be, thanks to developments in treatment choices. However, a new study reveals that leukocyte (white blood cell) count may now be used to identify who is more likely to develop more significant disease symptoms.
This effect is particularly pronounced in women, who already experience higher rates of cognitive impairment after menopause
Women with diabetes were found to be at higher risk of micronutrient deficits
Woman has been referred to medical facility in neighbouring Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Constant tests under way to for TB vaccines: ICMR chief Rajiv Bahl
Conversely, people entering managerial or professional occupations did not engage in physical activity
New research presented at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that anatomic lung resections, such as lobectomy and segmentectomy, are associated with better long-term survival than wedge resection for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Researchers tested program’s efficacy with individuals in rural Illinois
The recent surge in popularity of weight loss drugs like Ozempic, altogether called GLP-1s, has resulted in renewed scientific interest in understanding how our bodies regulate muscle growth. In a recent study, scientists have linked the protein BCL6 to the maintenance of muscle mass and further suggested that BCL6-boosting therapeutics could help GLP-1 users retain muscle while losing fat.
