DIABETES Diabetes is a ceaseless, incurable disease that occurs when the body doesn’t produce any or enough insulin, leading to an excess of sugar in the blood. Insulin is of a hormone, produced by the pancreas, which helps the cells of the body to use glucose (sugar) from food. Cells need this energy in order to function properly. Sugar develops in the bloodstream […]

GENOME SEQUENCING Genome sequencing is the most extensive method for analyzing the genome. Genomic information has been instrumental in identifying inherited disorders, characterizing the mutations that drive cancer progression, and tracking disease outbreaks. Rapidly dropping sequencing costs and the ability to produce large volumes of data with today’s sequencers make whole-genome sequencing a powerful tool […]

Tooth regeneration   Tooth regeneration is a stem cell based regenerative medicine procedure in the field of  tissue engineering and stem cell biology to replace damaged or lost teeth by re-growing them from autologous stem cells. It works by activating stem cells inside the tooth’s pulp centre, prompting the damaged area to regenerate the hard dentin material that makes up the majority of a tooth. After a tooth is damaged […]

COSMETIC RESTORATIONS The term prosthesis is used in medicine to represent an artificial device that can be used to replace a missing body part. Although an artificial limb is often the first image that comes to mind regarding the term prosthesis, it can actually refer to artificial replacement of any part of the body. Cosmesis […]

ORGAN PRINTING A printable organ is an artificially constructed device designed for organ replacement, produced using 3D printing techniques. The primary purpose of printable organs is in transplantation. Research is currently being conducted on artificial heart, kidney, and liver structures, as well as other major organs. 3D printing does the layer-by-layer construction of a particular organ structure to form a cell scaffold. This can be followed by […]

Breast cancer Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor becomes cancer if the cells grows into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast […]

Dengue and Chikungunya Country is enjoying the monsoon at its very best, but monsoon also brings diseases like dengue and chikungunya (the mosquito borne diseases). Dengue virus is transmitted by female mosquitoes mainly of the species Aedes aegypti, this viral disease is transmitted to human  through the bite of female Aedes mosquitoes and from an infected […]
