Post Views: 341 Most people don’t realise that trillions of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes, called the human microbiome, live inside our guts. Scientists are finding that these microbes play a big role in fighting oxidative stress and related chronic diseases. Oxidative stress is implicated in nearly every modern human health condition. It is linked…
Post Views: 787 The cell cycle is a fundamental process that governs the growth and reproduction of all living organisms. It is a meticulously arranged sequence of events that ensures the accurate duplication of genetic material and the division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells. Understanding the cell cycle is crucial in…
Post Views: 1,415 In 1953, an important discovery of the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick made huge waves in medical science. The study of DNA structure has since inspired many advancements in genetic science, especially in the field of molecular diagnostics or testing. Over two…
