Meditation eases anxiety, fatigue and pain for women undergoing breast cancer biopsies, according to researchers.
They also found that music is effective, but to a lesser extent. The researchers note that adopting these simple, inexpensive…
Doctors treat brain tumours by attempting to stop the growth of blood vessels in tumours; but imaging methods are essential for initial diagnosis and monitoring the effects of treatments.
Visual mapping of vessels in tumours has also proven…
Geologists have developed a new and relatively inexpensive way to establish whether certain types of magmatic rocks are more likely to contain valuable metal deposits.
In a study published in Nature Geoscience, Dr Ben Williamson, of the University…
Researchers have successfully used cartilage cells from cow knee joints for cartilage tissue engineering – a finding that could lead to a new cure for osteoarthritis – degenerative joint disease – using stem cell-based tissue engineering.

Reducing the intake of sugar may significantly help in recovering from liver damage caused by a diet high in fat, sugar and cholesterol, a new study has claimed.
Researchers found that a diet with reduced fat and cholesterol helped, but did…
Researchers specialising in nanotechnology have developed a glue that binds metal to metal to glass or to anything you-name-it, sets at room temperature, and requires little pressure to seal.
In a paper, published in the January issue of Advanced…
An Indian-origin scientist and his colleague have reportedly developed genetically engineered limes containing some similar genetic factors that are expressed in grape skin and blood orange pulp.
These modified Mexican limes have a protein…
Taking a high dose of vitamin D3 is safe for people with multiple sclerosis, a nervous system disease, and may help regulate the body’s hyperactive immune response, according to a pilot study conducted by researchers.

The specialised human ability to perceive the sound quality known as “pitch” can no longer be listed as unique to humans.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins report new behavioural evidence that marmosets, ancient monkeys, appear to use…
While it has been known that ovarian and breast cancers run in families with a history of such cancers, scientists have now pinpointed inherited genetic susceptibility of 12 cancer types.
Some portion of the risk of developing cancer is hereditary…
