Washington, Apr 7 : Scientists have successfully created a human-in-mouse cancer model mimicking human tumour behaviours and response - a finding that would pave way for improved cancer drugs.
Researchers at AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company have engineered normal human breast tissue to express oncogenes, which when introduced in mice, formed human breast tissue in mouse mammary microenvironment.
The tumours, which then develop spontaneously, acquire common and distinct mutations during tumour progression.
Washington, April 7 : Archaeologists have found five structures, each in the shape of an enormous "foot", in the Jordan Valley in the Middle East, which testify to the biblical concept of ownership of the land with the foot.
According to archaeologist Professor Adam Zertal of the University of Haifa, who headed the excavating team that exposed five compounds in the shape of an enormous "foot", that it were likely to have been used at that time to mark ownership of territory.
London, April 7 : In a new research, scientists have determined that some of the biggest galaxies in the early universe seem to have grown quicker than thought possible and may have bulked up on streams of gas flowing along filaments of dark matter.
Monster galaxies have long been thought to take a long time to form, growing slowly by gobbling up smaller galaxies like a giant amoeba absorbing food.
Washington, April 7 : Researchers at University of Western Ontario have succeeded in growing new blood vessels using stem cells from bone marrow, a medical advance that could be used to treat patients with diseases such as peripheral artery disease.
It''s one of the severe complications often faced by people who''ve had diabetes for a long time.
Reduced blood flow (ischemia) in their limbs can lead to resting pain, trouble with wound healing and in severe cases, amputation.
Washington, April 7 : A new study has suggested that Neanderthals may have acted in much the same way as early modern humans, and were much savvier than previously thought.
According to a report in the Scientific American, to compare the behavior of Neanderthals and early moderns, paleoanthropologist Bruce Hardy of Kenyon College studied artifacts from a site in southwestern Germany called Hohle Fels.
The site contains several levels of archaeological remains.
Washington, April 7: New evidence from NASA and satellite observations has shown that the decade-long trend of shrinking sea ice cover in the Arctic is continuing, with the ice cap thinning as well.
In recent years, Arctic sea ice has been declining at a surprising rate.
Scientists who track Arctic sea ice cover from space have announced that this winter had the fifth lowest maximum ice extent on record.
The six lowest maximum events since satellite monitoring began in 1979 have all occurred in the past six years
(2004-2009).
