Telomere shortening protects against cancer
As time goes by, the tips of your chromosomes–called telomeres–become shorter. This process has long been viewed as an unwanted side-effect of aging, but a recent study shows it is in fact good for you. “Telomeres protect the genetic material,” says Titia de Lange, Leon Hess Professor at Rockefeller. “The DNA in telomeres shortens when cells divide, eventually halting cell division…

Using Fluorescent Probe, Determining Presence of Cancer within Minutes
To diagnose the patient for cancer as well as for knowing cancer type and its malignancy, it takes up to two weeks to determine. Researchers at Michigan Technological University by means of a new technology i.e. sugar transporting biosensor hopes to reduce this 2 week time period into minutes. A collaborative team of chemist built a tiny fluorescent probe that…
