Berlin Scientists have developed hybrid sperms that can deliver a cancer drug directly to a cervical tumours, an approach that could help treat the deadly disease with minimum side effects. Creating an effective way to target cancer cells with drugs is challenging on multiple fronts. For example, the drugs doRead More

New Delhi: There is a need to step up effective research and development for formulating new drug molecules in the country, a senior official said on Tuesday. “The formulation of generic drugs in our country is very good, but it is not the same in case of the new drugRead More

LOS ANGELES: Higher levels of air pollution may increase the risk of delinquent behaviour among teenagers, a study has warned. Tiny, toxic particles creep into developing brains, cause inflammation and may damage brain pathways responsible for emotion and decisions, researchers said. The finding is a reminder of the importance ofRead More

NEW DELHI: Scientists at IIT Kharagpur have used waste onion skins to develop an inexpensive device that can generate ‘green’ electricity from body movements, and may power pacemakers, smart pills and wearable electronics. The non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible device takes advantage of the suitable piezoelectric properties of the onion skin,Read More
