See how the PSA blood test works, what causes elevated PSA levels, and how this important laboratory test supports prostate health and early cancer detection.
Talk about hepatitis testing, including blood tests for hepatitis A, B, C, D and E, common markers, liver tests, and what positive or negative results mean.
See what thyroid function tests measure, including TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. Learn how these blood tests diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor thyroid health.
Ever wonder what it’s like if a tiny chip could detect cancer before symptoms appear. Biosensor technology is transforming cancer detection- earlier, faster and more accessible for people worldwide
Let's talk about Type 2 diabetes, its symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, and the laboratory tests, including HbA1c and blood glucose, that help detect and monitor the condition.
HIV testing is the process of determining whether a person has been infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Depending on the test, HIV testing can detect antibodies produced by the immune system, the HIV p24 antigen, or HIV RNA. Different tests have different detection window periods, and a reactive screening result requires appropriate follow-up testing before an HIV diagnosis is established.
See what kidney function tests measure, including creatinine, eGFR, and urinalysis. Discover how these tests help detect kidney disease and monitor kidney health.
ISO/IEC 17025 compliance defines how testing and calibration laboratories demonstrate technical competence. In India, the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) grants accreditation based on this international standard (ISO, 2017).
These innovative testes, derived from meticulously cultured mouse cells, closely mimic the structure of natural testes, featuring the complex network of sperm tubes essential for reproduction.
Small fruit fly is an excellent model organism used by scientists to study various aspect of human health and diseases such as development, regeneration, wound healing, cancer and stem cell research
From innovative methods for cancer treatment to understanding the complexities of the human gut biome, these discoveries not only enhance our comprehension of the world but also lay the foundation for future groundbreaking advancements.
In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.
Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
Many times, individuals feel fearful or extremely worried about cancer testing. The regular tests and scans that patients living with any cancer diagnosis have to undergo, to monitor their condition, can make them feel anxious before, during, or after a scan or a follow-up test
A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a blood test that measures different types of blood cells and related parameters, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin, haematocrit and red blood cell indices. It can help healthcare professionals investigate conditions such as anaemia, infection, inflammation and certain blood disorders.
