One exhale and new device could screen for everything from diabetes to lung cancer, says the invention by researchers at Stony Brook University. The nanowires in invented breathalyzer enable the sensor to detect just a few molecules of a disease marker gas in a ‘sea’ of billions of molecules of other compounds. This invention could give new […]

Article with a title “Capitalists And Other Psychopaths“, and the references there in, written by William Deresiewicz and published online in NYtimes on May 12, 2012 and the study published by Paul K. Piff in PNAS, with a title “Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior” were very interesting from Human Mind and Behaviour point of view. Primarily […]
Scientists have known for decades that accelerated ageing, inflammation and cancer are somehow related, yet exactly how these conditions are linked has so far been unknown. One recent study, conducted by Robert J. Schneider, PhD, the Albert Sabin Professor of Molecular Pathogenesis and associate director for translational research and co-director of the Breast Cancer Program […]
The US FDA has approved pancrealipase delayed-release capsules (Pertzye, Digestive Care Inc) for the treatment of children and adults with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) caused by cystic fibrosis (CF) or other conditions. The unique pancreatic enzyme product contains bicarbonate-buffered enteric-coated microspheres and is protected by several US and international patents. It has been marketed by the company […]
Ethanol has dominated the biofuel industry’s attention over the past few years. But synthetic-biology companies are now scaling up production of what some say is a superior fuel: butanol, an alcohol with four carbon atoms to ethanol’s two. Compared to ethanol, butanol stores more energy per litre, is less corrosive to pipelines, is more easily […]
We all believe that CANCER is a dreaded disease, although some of the cancers are deadly for example Pancreatic Cancer which is the deadliest diseases with a survival rate of only about 4%. Almost in all the cancer cases it is not noticed till the final stage. If we look at the causes, apart from the genetic factors (that […]

What’s the best way to make methanol? The question is more pressing than it sounds. Not only is methanol an important industrial chemical – some 50 million tons are used each year to make plastics and other products – but it could also become the basis of a clean energy economy that actually reduces global […]
Castor oil may have a bad rap among people who were force-fed spoonfuls as children, but it’s no myth that the tonic has health effects. Now, scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism of the active ingredient in castor oil, which has been used for thousands of years as a laxative and labor-inducer. Ricinoleic acid, the […]
Metabolic reprogramming has been proposed to be a hallmark of cancer, yet a systematic characterization of the metabolic pathways active in transformed cells is currently lacking. Using mass spectrometry, we measured the consumption and release (CORE) profiles of 219 metabolites from media across the NCI-60 cancer cell lines, and integrated these data with a preexisting atlas of gene […]
Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins that have a wide range of pleiotropic effects, ranging from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to the production of active thyroid hormone. In the past 10 years, the discovery of disease-associated polymorphisms in selenoprotein genes has drawn attention to the relevance of selenoproteins to health. Low selenium status has been associated with: 1. Increased […]

Recent article in NYTimes, says some cases of unemployment victims could also become victims of Cancer.It says “Joblessness is also associated with some serious illnesses, although the causal links are poorly understood. Studies have found strong links between unemployment and cancer, with unemployed men facing a 25 percent higher risk of dying of the disease. […]
Battle of Steve Jobs and Ralph Steinman with Pancreatic cancer: How we lost.
In mid-2011, a joint symposium on Clinical and Translational Medicine was held between the United States and China in Shanghai. Out of that conference came a host of new ideas, recommendations, and research/clinical data that emphasized the growing importance of translational medicine in China, and its strong connection with research in the United States. The […]
It is of two parts: Part one of this position statement focuses on ‘immune function and exercise’ and part two on ‘maintaining immune health’. Part one: “immune function and exercise” Part one provides a brief introduction and history followed by sections on: Respiratory infections and exercise; Cellular innate immune function and exercise; Acquired immunity and […]
