Recently researchers found that Zinc supplements may halt the rapid growth of oesophageal cancer cells.
Zinc selectively halts the growth of cancer cells but not normal oesophageal epithelial cells
Zinc is an important element in many proteins and many enzymes and its absence makes it impossible for cells to function.
An insufficient amount of zinc can lead to the development of cancers and other diseases.
Oesophageal cancer
It is a Cancer of the tube that runs from the throat to the stomach, which affects people who are more than 40 years of age.
Smoking and poorly controlled acid reflux are significant risk factors for oesophageal cancer.
Treatment focuses on removing the cancer through surgery.
Chemotherapy and radiation may also be used.
Parkinson’s drug
There is a low incidence of many cancers (with the exception of melanoma) in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
This is due to Carbidopa a Parkinson’s disease drug, displays significant anticancer effects in human cell when given at normal patient dosage levels.
Parkinson’s disease
It is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors.
Dopamine is a chemical that sends behavioural signals from the brain to the body.
Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson's
Parkinson's often starts with a tremor in one hand, other symptoms are slow movement, stiffness and loss of balance.
Medication can help control the symptoms of Parkinson's.
It affects the age group from 6 to 60, treatment can help but this condition can't be cured.
Congenital Cardiomyopathies
Recently researches found ways to preserve heart function after heart attacks or for people withinherited heart defects known as congenital cardiomyopathies.
They have stopped or slowed cardiac fibrosis (thickening of heart valves) organ enlargement and preserved heart function by blocking a well-known molecular pathway.
The Wnt/ß-catenin signalling pathway is involved in several of the body’s fundamental biological processes.
After heart attack, Wnt/ß-catenin signalling ramps up in cardiac fibroblast cells to cause fibrosis, scarring and harmful enlargement of the heart muscle.
This condition makes it hard for the heart to deliver blood to the body, and can lead to heart failure.
Perovskite solar cells
A Perovskite structure solar cell is one that includes a compound which can build solar cells that are inexpensive and highly efficient.
Perovskite is a material that has the same crystal structure as the mineral calcium titanium oxide.
Due to their unique crystal make-up, they often display a number of interesting properties, including superconductivity, giant magneto resistance, and Ferro electricity.
Within the last several years, perovskite solar cells have outpaced all other third-generation solar technologies in terms of efficiency.
