A new study has shed light on why the Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) vaccine, widely used to protect against tuberculosis (TB), may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found that the vaccine appears to reprogram the immune system, creating long term changes that
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven 11-gene blood test that could pave the way for affordable and non invasive early detection of multiple cancers, marking another significant step in the use of AI for precision oncology. The novel test analyzes platelet RNA to identify
Researchers have identified 74 genetic regions associated with anxiety, including 39 previously undiscovered DNA variants, in what is being described as the largest genome wide association study (GWAS) ever conducted on the condition. The findings could significantly improve the understanding of anxiety disorders and accelerate
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have developed an innovative "placenta on chip" platform, a breakthrough biomedical technology designed to improve the understanding of foetal development, maternal health and pregnancy related complications. The microfluidic device replicates the structure and function of the
Author: Asha BV, Senior Director of Global Software Engineering, Philips India | For too long, sleep has been treated as the silent background of our lives, important, yet overlooked. We celebrate productivity, hustle, and constant connectivity, while rest is often reduced to a routine checkbox at the end
Researchers have identified 74 locations in the human genome associated with anxiety symptoms, marking a significant breakthrough in understanding the biological basis of one of the world's most common mental health conditions. The findings emerged from a large scale genome wide association study (GWAS) that
A groundbreaking study by researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has revealed that exposure to air pollution during pregnancy may significantly damage the placenta, restrict fetal growth, and increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, highlighting another serious health
Researchers have developed a promising blood test that may be capable of detecting signs of lung cancer up to five years before clinical diagnosis, potentially opening a new frontier in early cancer detection and prevention. The study offers fresh insights into the biological processes that drive
From turmeric and cinnamon to black pepper and oregano, everyday kitchen spices may offer health benefits that extend far beyond enhancing flavor, according to emerging research exploring their impact on gut health, brain function, metabolism, and inflammation. Researchers say bioactive compounds naturally present in many spices
