Science & Technology, Australia (Commonwealth Union) – A new study conducted by The University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Garvan Institute of Medical, has revealed that inflammation may pave the way to improved treatments for individuals having advanced cancers or cancers that were untreatable on prior occasions.
The use of bacteria in the microenvironment of a tumor forms a state of acute inflammation that triggers the immune system’s cells of the primary response to target instead of protecting a tumour.
In the beginning of an infection, the 1st cells moving to the locations are neutrophils that are essential for...
Science & Technology, Australia (Commonwealth Union) – A new study has found that nearly 4000 Australian plant species have not been photographed on prior occasions in the wild, that can lead to their extinction.
The documentation of plant species goes back centuries that assists us in knowing and protecting the diversity of flora globally. However, the new study indicates that many have not been photographed in their natural environment, which...
Science & Technology, Singapore (Commonwealth Union) - Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and degenerative brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. A key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain. These abnormal protein deposits lead to the loss of connections between nerve cells and eventually cause the death of brain cells.
