A pair of studies out this month from University of Maryland researchers puts the crosshairs on a parasite endemic to our region that’s responsible for transmitting Lyme disease and other serious infections to hundreds of thousands of Americans annually. One provides an unprecedented overall look at the genome of the black-legged tick, or deer tick, …
In 2022, approximately 14,16,427 people were diagnosed with cancer. Lung and breast cancer were the most common cancers. In India, cancer cases continue to increase. Data suggests one in nine people are likely to develop cancer in his/her lifetime.Dr. Rakesh MP, Assistant Professor, Medical Oncology, Amrita Hospital shares, “Cancer is one of the biggest masqueraders …

A survey of over 2,000 British adults finds that trust in genetics is high and went up significantly during the pandemic. It also finds that there is a hunger for more coverage of genetics. The pandemic has gone hand-in-hand with a much-increased public profile of science − genetics in particular. Be it the prominence of …

New research has revealed the science behind an eight-decade-long medical mystery involving a number of infant deaths from kidney damage in the 1930s and ’40s. The study is published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. Repercussions of vitamin D fortification During the early 20’sth century in North America and Europe, large numbers of …

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* server, researchers designed two dumbbell-1 (DB-1) mutant Zika virus (ZIKV) infectious clones termed ZIKV-TL.PK and ZIKV-p.2.5′. While the former disrupted DB-1 tertiary folding, the latter altered the formation of DB-1 secondary structure. They used these mutants to investigate the contribution of the DB-1 structure to ZIKV pathogenesis. …
In some instances, two heads are better than one. For a new multi-regional research effort, five organizations put their heads together to achieve the full genetic yield potential of the soybean. A new partnership, the first of its kind in more than 40 years, aims to increase soybean flower and pod retention. This unrealized value …
