Students of Batch-19, exhibited their traits, by sketching the technical case study of tale of two cousins into an excellent, expressive and emotional role –play.

Immune system kills spontaneous blood cancer cells every day

Each and every one of us has spontaneous mutations in our immune B cells that occur as a result of their normal function.

If cancerous B cells go on to form tumors they develop into B cell lymphomas, also known as non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. B cells, a type of white blood cell, undergo spontaneous changes that could lead to cancer if the immune system does not carry out regular checks and kill them before they form tumors.

The researchers found T cells of the immune system carry out regular checks to find cancerous and pre-cancerous B cells.

Students of Batch-19, gave an excellent insight about the real life scenarios of subjects in clinical trials, and rules and regulations governing the clinical trials in India, by enacting the role-play on Bhopal gas tragedy.

Diabetes and high estrogen levels raise dementia risk for women

Women aged 65 and over who have both diabetes and high estrogen levels are 14 times more likely to develop dementia than women who have neither condition.

Breakthrough: Scientists create embryonic stem cells without embryos

It may not be necessary to create an embryo to acquire embryonic stem cells. Research findings demonstrate that creation of an autologous pluripotent stem cell - a stem cell from an individual that has the potential to be used for a therapeutic purpose - without an embryo, is possible.

The fate of adult cells can be drastically converted by exposing mature cells to an external stress or injury. This finding has the potential to reduce the need to utilize both embryonic stem cells and DNA-manipulated iPS cells.

Multiple Sclerosis Linked to Higher Cancer Risk

A new nationwide cohort study from Taiwan suggested that patients with multiple sclerosis may have an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly breast cancer.

FDA Issues Safety Warning for Sodium Phosphate for Constipation

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning about possible harm from exceeding the recommended dose of over-the-counter (OTC) sodium phosphate products to treat constipation.

There have been reports of severe dehydration and changes in serum electrolyte levels from taking more than the recommended dose of OTC sodium phosphate products, resulting in serious adverse effects on organs, such as the kidneys and heart, and in some cases resulting in death.
