New nanomaterial helps heal damaged jaw bones by controlling inflammation and fighting bacteria, showing promise for safer bone repair treatments.

You may be able to get rid of mild, early-stage gingivitis (gum inflammation) on your own. You could even start to see improvement within a week, but preventing gingivitis requires a commitment. It's ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Cancer stem cells are rare immortal cells within a tumour that can both self-renew by dividing and give rise to many cell types that constitute the tumour, and can therefore form tumours.

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

The stability of Pt-based catalysts is critical to the reliability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Here, the authors use stroboscopic operando high energy X-ray scattering to reveal Pt ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — A recent study investigates how polyester microdroplets, potential precursors to modern cells, could form under realistic early Earth conditions. Researchers pushed these ...

It is primarily attributed to several factors, including the detrimental effects of reactive oxygen species leading to the death of basal stem cells, DNA damage, and inflammatory cytokines synthesis ...

PDT is a highly selective modality as (i) the PS can be targeted to the unwanted cells or tissue (Hunt, 2002) and (ii) cell death is spatially limited to regions where light of the appropriate ...
