  Did you know Scientist can now grow Mini Brains in the lab? Let’s explore the theory and motive behind growing mini brains in the lab WHAT ARE MINI BRAINS? Mini Brains also known as organoids are tiny versions of human brain that are grown in the lab. They aren’t real conscious brains that can think or remember things like we do. But they are made from original human cells and are capable of mimicking the developments and functioning of parts of the brain. They are about the size of a pea and are used as models to understand the brain better. How are Mini Brains made? Mini- brains are grown from stem cells- these are special cells that can differentiate into any other type of cell in the body. -Scientist extract stem cells from a human (either from an embryo or adult cells) -These cells are then treated with special nutrients and are signaled to grow into brain cells. -For its better growth and development, these cells are placed in a 3D gel- like material to ...

  How Your Body Repairs Itself: The Fascinating World of Regeneration! Have you ever wondered how your skin heals after a cut? Or how your liver repaires back after damage? The secret lies in your body's ability called regeneration — a process that works silently to repair and renew. Let’s explore this process step by step and understand the biological magic happening inside you. What Is Regeneration? Regeneration is the process through which organisms repair or replace damaged or lost tissues, organs, or cells. It’s a critical part of healing and maintaining the body’s normal functions. Types of Regeneration: 1. Complete Regeneration In complete regeneration, the lost or damaged part is replaced by tissue identical to the original .  In animals: Salamanders can regrow limbs with bones, muscles, and even nerves. In humans: Liver regeneration is almost complete — it regrows the same functional tissue. 2. Incomplete Regeneration Here, the...

Why Do We Remember Some Things Forever But Forgets The Remaining— Science Behind Memory.   Biology textbooks are filled with facts, yet there's one sentence almost everyone remembers long after school: “Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.” Why this line? Why not something else—like the function of ribosomes or the phases of mitosis? To understand why certain facts stay in our minds while others fade away, we need to explore the science of memory —how the brain learns, stores, and recalls information. 1. How Memory Works: The Three Key Stages Memory is not just about storing information; it involves three major stages: Encoding : This is when the brain takes in information through attention and understanding. Storage : If the brain deems the information important, it is stored in short-term or long-term memory. Retrieval : This is the process of recalling stored information when needed. These steps involve various parts of the brain, including: The hip...

  Fatty Liver: What It Is and Why It’s Becoming So Common?                                                                                                                                  Ankitashree Fatty liver, also called steatosis is a condition that arises when excess fats gets accumulated in the liver. The body does produce fats but   <5-10%  fats is considered fatty liver. NAFLD  affects about  25–30%  of the global population. In India , the prevalence is estimated between  9% and 32% , depending on region and lifestyle. NASH may affect 1.5–6.5%  of the global population, but numbers are rising rapidly. Types of ...

  Welcome to the World of Biosciences A gateway to understand life, innovations and its futuristic scope. Let’s start with some questions.  Have you ever wondered how every cell in the body works – there is a whole universe that runs inside the body.  Do you know why some people are allergic to certain substances while other aren’t or do you know how CRISPR cuts the DNA. BIOSCIENCES doesn’t only include the multiple cells and its organelles, its much more then that and hence this blog comes into picture to provide insights about the world of biosciences. This blog is for students, enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the biology that shapes our health, food, and environment. What Will this blog Cover? Biotechnology & it’s Innovations It’s breakthroughs in gene editing, synthetic biology, and personalized medicine. Health & Disease How our cells work, what goes wrong in cancer or infections, the science behind new treatments and the efficacy of such treatment...
