(17th July, 2014); Researchers from Salk discovered new and more effective diabetic drug which could lead for safe & new generation of anti-diabetic drugs. They injected single injection of the protein FGF1 which is enough to restore blood sugar levels to a healthy range for more than two days.

(15th July, 2014); Study published by researchers shown that use of antibiotics is increasing day by day across the world. Unsurprisingly India is the largest consumer of antibiotics in 2010. As per study, use is not being effectively monitored by health officials, from doctors to hospital workers to clinicians, noted the researchers. Consequently, antibiotic use is both rampant and less targeted. That reality is driving antibiotic resistance at an unprecedented rate.

(15th July, 2014); The first dengue vaccine candidate (CYD-TDV) to reach phase 3 clinical testing has shown moderate protection (56%) against the disease in Asian children, according to new research published in The Lancet.

(11th July, 2014); Recent research asking questions to prior studies which stated that one drink per day may promote cardiovascular health. As per recent research published in The BMJ led by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, reducing the amount of alcoholic beverages consumed, even for light-to-moderate drinkers, may improve cardiovascular health, including a reduced risk of coronary heart disease, lower body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure.

The study indicates that the chemicals might evoke changes in swimming behaviour at the wrong time and wrong place, hinder navigation of sperm towards the egg and hamper penetration into the protective egg coat.

(15th May, 2014); Researchers have shown that neurons generated from the skin cells of people with schizophrenia behave unfamiliar in early developmental stages. They used new stem cell research technology for same and they believe that this research may provide new ideas to detect and potentially cure the disease early.
