A landmark US court ruling said that human genes are not up for patent. Merely isolating the gene doesn’t amount to ‘inventing’ it. This is bound to cause major ripples in cancer research in the near future.

This is the first documented case of a child being cured of HIV. This scientific miracle will surely be followed by a lot of research. The future may be HIV free.

What did the researchers who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine really discover? Let’s find out.

The deadly Ebola virus has returned to haunt the African country of Uganda. The current figures suggest 20 infected and 14 dead, but both are likely to rise. With no cure or vaccine, what is man to do against this viral adversary?

A 10-year old became the world’s first recipient of a major vein replacement using Stem Cells. Her own stem cells were used to graft a 9-cm long vein into her liver, saving her a liver transplant. The stem cell revolution continues to deliver…

An immaculately preserved Iceman – Oetzi – now reveals yet another secret. Even his blood was preserved in some patches! The world’s oldest blood in 5300 years old!

Mutli-drug resistant TB may be the new killer! And this is just the beginning.

Scientists have created artificial DNA, which is like DNA, but not quite! What more, they have even managed to observe the evolutionary pattern in them – and they turn out to be Darwinian in nature.

Stem Cell therapy can be used to create the much needed T-cells, which are effective against HIV. This might be the AIDS cure!

MIT researchers have been able to pinpoint the exact sites where memory is stored – individual neurons. Not only that, they have been able to manufacture and manipulate memories!!

A team of Harvard medical researchers have just taken origami and applied it to DNA! The result? A DNA robot capable to attacking only specific cancerous cells.

NASA has come up with a biocapsule that is a real-life miracle. It will help astronauts cope better in space as well as save lives here on Earth! It’s a medical miracle!!

Researchers have created brain tissue using skin cells, via the stem cells. This could be a pioneering experiment, on the verge of a definite revolution.

It seems that a little – very little – amount of alcohol is actually beneficial to the life-expectancy of a worm. People are high and hopeful about a similar result for humans!

A cancer patient has just received a transplant of an artificial windpipe which was laden with stem cells, in one of the first such operations of its kind. An amazing story of the defeat of cancer in this instance.
