Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have built organs on chips to simulate cancer metastasis. They examined how cancer cells respond under conditions of ageing and diabetes, finding that stress enhanced metastatic potential.
Researchers from the Central University of Jammu have uncovered a potential genetic link between the biological clock and hypertension in the Indian sub-population. They found that the biological clock plays a significant role in regulating hypertension, highlighting its importance as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in the ageing population.
