Groundbreaking Discovery: Two new genes found in head and neck cancer patients responsible for chemotherapy resistance. Silencing these genes rekindles chemotherapy effectiveness, offering hope in cancer treatment.
Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new way to fight age-related diseases. They found that a protein called DELE1 forms a cylindrical structure that is necessary to activate the cell’s integrated stress response (ISR). The ISR is a critical pathway that helps our cells maintain health, but it is impaired in many age-related diseases. […]
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is a surgical procedure employed in male infertility cases where sperm retrieval from the testicles is necessary. During TESE, a small tissue sample is extracted from the testicles, and the contained sperm is subsequently used for assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This […]
