More than two years ago, the whole planet got impacted by COVID-19. Over time, and with the help of our dedicated worldwide scientific research community, we have learnt how to prevent its spread and to

A cell is the basic functional and structural element that makes up the tissues and organs of living beings. Often considered as the smallest part of a living organism, it is made up of many other units,

Clinical trials are the bedrock of medical research. They are conducted in distinct phases that we will detail in this article. But before clinical trials can even start, it is necessary to conduct preclinical

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world. This infection is caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, and it strongly affects the respiratory tract.

To preserve the population, vaccines have

A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. They are all made up of a cytoplasm enclosed in a membrane, which contains molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins.

There are two

A team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have recently conducted a study regarding cancer immunotherapy. This field of science is dedicated to stimulating the

As similar as the two terms may seem, there is a fundamental difference between genetics and genomics.

Understanding this difference also means understanding their implications in cancer care, from

All human and living beings have mitochondria. These are tiny cellular organisms present in nearly every cell of an individual. They are located more precisely inside the cells, in their nucleus. The main

For over two years now, COVID-19 infection has changed our lives and keeps doing it day after day. Through time, we have learnt how to preserve our communities as much as possible from its spread.

Each of our cells contains our entire genetic heritage: 46 chromosomes inherited from our parents on which there are approximately 25,000 genes.
But if all our cells contain the same information,

The immune system, responsible for fighting off infections and diseases, refers to multiple biological processes that have different functions and contributions to the immune system and its response to

The ELISA test (acronym of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) is an immunological test intended to detect and/or assay a protein in a biological fluid.
