Novel technique gives quicker and more exact diagnostics in histopathology Kumar Jeetendra | May 1, 2021 Histology is the study of biological cells at a microscopic level. Also called microscopic anatomy, histology is widely used to offer identification of cancer and other diseases. For instance, tissue samples obtained during surgery might help to ascertain whether additional surgical action is needed, and additional surgery may be avoided if a diagnosis can be …
New radiopharmaceutical shows therapeutic efficacy in preclinical model of ovarian disease Kumar Jeetendra | June 12, 2021 Preclinical trials of a new radiopharmaceutical to treat ovarian cancer have produced effective results, dramatically restricting tumor growth and diminishing tumor mass. Designed especially for ovarian cancers that are resistant to conventional therapies, the new radiopharmaceutical could be produced in 25 minutes at reduced cost, which contributes to better efficiency compared with alternative procedures. This …
Study recognizes specific immune cells that shape inhibitory neurons to control mind wiring Kumar Jeetendra | July 7, 2021 Every second our brains are exposed to a variety of signals, from the barking of a puppy to raindrops hitting the windows, and everything in between. Most of the time we ignore insignificant cues like the buzzing of a fly or the gentle rustle of leaves in a tree. We pay attention to the more …
MRI screening and designated biopsies could diminish overdiagnoses of prostate malignant growth Kumar Jeetendra | July 10, 2021 Many countries do not have nationwide prostate-cancer screening. Current methods lead to overdiagnoses, unnecessary biopsies, and unnecessary biopsies. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, have published a new study in The New England Journal of Medicine. It shows that targeted biopsies and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), could reduce overdiagnoses by up to half. These results were …
New system joins PC programming and cryo-EM to decide 3D constructions of RNA-only molecules Kumar Jeetendra | August 16, 2021 The single-stranded gene material RNA, also known as RNA, is most well-known for its ability to guide the assembly of proteins and carry the genetic code for viruses such as HIV and SARS-CoV-2. Scientists discovered a hidden talent 40 years ago: It can catalyze chemical reaction in cells, including joining and snipping RNA strands. This …
New framework empowers programmed examination of biomedical recordings caught by microscopy Kumar Jeetendra | February 14, 2022 Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a system based on computer vision techniques that allows automatic analysis of biomedical videos captured by microscopy in order to characterize and describe the behavior of the cells that appear in the images. These new techniques developed by the UC3M engineering team have been …
