Probiotics do not really help says latest research

People have been swearing by routine intake of probiotics such as yoghurt and other good bacteria that are supposed to help in prevention of several diseases and maintain good health. A new study from a group of Israeli scientists says that these probiotics are in fact useless. The results of this study appeared in the latest issue of the journal Cell.

New study aims to understand why skin grafts have high rate of rejection

When it comes to transplant rejection, some organs are far trickier than others. Some transplantable organs, such as the liver, are readily accepted by the recipient's immune system, rarely triggering an immune response and rejection

Researchers reveal how rapidly spreading ovarian cancer cells take the next steps

In nearly 80 percent of women with ovarian cancer, the disease has already spread to the omentum before it was diagnosed. Within the omentum - a large, energy-dense fat pad that covers the intestines - the cancer grows even faster.
