Injecting performance enhancing corticosteroid hormones for other than medical treatment is banned, and tests exist that can detect injected hormones….
The London-based company has developed a technique that uses stem cells drawn from the umbilical cord blood of foals or from adult horses’ bone marrow, to…
H. pylori is a Gram-negative, spiral bacterium that colonizes the gastric mucosa of at least 50% of the world's population and plays a causative role in the…
Scientists have long known that humans and sea urchins are closely related. In fact, these animals are the only invertebrates on the human branch of the…
Researchers investigating ways of prompting the immune system to recognise and kill tumour cells have found that a drug containing parts of the diptheria toxin…
The “evil” cells are clones that have a pre-existing, rather than acquired, resistance to drugs used for treating ALL, and their presence in a patient means…
