New Finding Help to Solve the Puzzle of Jumping Genes Causing Disease
Transposons are the DNA sequence which jumps from one position to another within a genome which in turn causes mutations. But little is known about when and where their movements occur in developing reproductive cells. Around half of our DNA sequences are composed of jumping genes. These mutations can also lead to some genetic disorder like hemophilia and cancer. In…

How Malarial Parasites Outrun Human Immune Cells to Cause Malaria
Malarial Parasite is able to cause malaria because it is three times faster than the immune cells which fail to capture the parasite due to their less speed as compared to the parasite. A team of researchers from the University of Heidelberg has found how malarial parasites move faster than their enemy i.e. immune cells. The focus of the study…

How A Single Genetic Change in Gut Bacteria Can Affect our Metabolism
Gut flora or gut bacteria is the community of organism which lives in our digestive system. These microbes have incredible potential to affect our physiology, both in health and in diseases like the development of obesity and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. A new study showed changes in metabolism and reduction in weight gain in mice on deleting a single…

Corrupted Protein Causing Neurodegenerative Diseases
If one person is corrupted, he will try to corrupt other people also. But what amazing thing is even protein follow the same pattern. A new study led by the researchers at the UT Southwestern Medical Center found a way by which cells invites the corrupted protein inside which can lead to neurodegenerative disease by turning normal protein into corrupted…
