NiV was first discovered in Malaysia and Singapore in 1998-1999 where around 250 infected cases and 100 deaths were reported. Between 2001 and 2004, NiV caused a deadly outbreak in Bangladesh followed by the West Bengal state in India.
The amazing discovery under the authorship of Professor Chenfang Dong from the Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China revealed that the widely used osteoporosis drug named zoledronic acid, inhibits UGT8 activity directly, which led to the prevention of basal-like breast cancer.
A research study led by Professor Marina Botto, from the Department of Medicine in Imperial College London, revealed that a particular component of the immune system called C1q triggers an alarm when the body is attacked by a bacteria or virus and helps in coordinating the defense.
Tagworks Pharmaceuticals, based at Radboud University Medical Center, have developed a novel technique for the targeted delivery of ADCs to treat tumors. By the controlled 'click-to-release' of the chemotherapy drug from its tumor-binding carrier, the treatment would reach the right location.
A new clinical trial executed under lead investigator, Professor Chris Hollis from the University of Nottingham in the UK, revealed that by adding a computerized test of attention and activity (QbTest) to standard subjective assessments, the clinicians could easily make a diagnostic decision on ADHD, with proper accuracy.
A research team at Tufts University revealed that good microbes in gastrointestinal tract could prevent liver inflammation, the major symptom of NAFLD. When the research was conducted on a mice model, they identified two key metabolites produced by the bacteria namely I3A and TA, which could ultimately reduce the severity of NAFLD.
A research team led by Dr. Beatrice Nardone, research assistant professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, discovered that daily consumption of aspirin could significantly increase the risk for melanoma (skin cancer) in men, compared to women.

The heart cells are operated by Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine in the US through the simple technique of shining a light and changing its intensity. The growth of the cells is facilitated through a material called graphene converting light into electricity and creating a relatively greater conducive environment than dished made from standard plastic or glass
