American scientists have discovered a new class of drugs which dramatically slows the aging process by alleviating frailty symptoms, extending healthy lifespan and improving cardiac function. The research was carried out on animal models by a group of scientists from the Mayo Clinic and the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and published in the online edition of the journal Aging Cell on March 9. The... 

As the public began to wake up to the absurdity and brutality of the militarized police state, isn’t it serendipitous that we have a militarized terror strike in a major Western city? FOX commentator Eric Bolling wastes no time in calling for a hyper-militarized police response, in his words, “over-militarized.” As laughable as his statements are, they’re not satire and they’re not funny. Are... 

Half of the Studies Find Cause For Concern… The Other Half Are Studies By the GMO Food Industry Itself. Tufts University’s Director of the Research and Policy Program at the Global Development and Environment Institute (Timothy Wise) points out: There is no … consensus on the safety of GM food. A peer-reviewed study of the research, from peer-reviewed journals, found that about half of the... 

This cryo-electron tomography image reveals the internal structure of an ultra-small bacteria cell like never before. Scientists have taken the first ever extensive microscopy images of ultra-small bacteria, which are so far thought to be the smallest life forms in existence. The bacteria have an average volume of 0.009 cubic microns (a micron is one millionth of a meter), 150,000 of which could be... 

Two areas of the brain, the hippocampus (yellow) and the prefrontal cortex (blue), use two different brain-wave frequencies to communicate as the brain learns to associate unrelated objects. The key learning regions in the brain, the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex, use different wave frequencies during memory-based decision making, a new research says. The study was carried out by Massachusetts... 

Swedish Researchers have discovered previously unknown cell types while producing an in depth map of cortical cell types and the active genes they harbor. Scientists at Karolinska Institute carried out the research with a process known as single cell sequencing, the results of which were published in the journal Science in February. The new cell types were found as the team studied some three thousand... 

AIDS Virus under electron microscope A radical new type of vaccine has shown positive results during tests on HIV-positive patients, bolstering hopes of fully protecting humans from AIDS in the future, researchers say. A new type of molecule, used in the vaccine, was engineered by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in California, which they claim blocks the HIV virus from attaching to cells,... 

A doctor has discovered the body of a tiny, 6-inch alien in Chile. The doctor has released a trailer showing off some footage of the adorable little extraterrestrial corpse. Steven Greer, former emergency medical physician and current alien investigator, discovered the little guy in Chile’s Atacama Desert. UFOlogists agree that the tiny alien is from Planet Zeeba, a planet that has been known to... 

Hearing experts are breaking sound barriers for children born without hearing nerve with auditory brainstem implants. Launched in March 2014, the research is being carried out during a three-year clinical trial by a multi-institutional team of communication and hearing specialists led by the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC). The preliminary findings of the research... 

A revolutionary new contact lens with a built in telescope could help millions to regain their full sight. Just a wink of one’s eye is enough to zoom in or turn the telescope off, which increases peripheral vision three fold (3x). The new technology is set to help sufferers of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which can result in the loss of vision in the center of the visual field. This makes... 

Schizophrenia, epilepsy and chronic pain research receives a boost as the mystery behind the Costa Rican coral snake’s capability to induce seizures in its victims is deciphered by researchers. The mechanism in the snake’s venom is consisted of a pair of proteins called micrurotoxins (MmTX) which bind to the pores of the nerve cells located in the spinal cord and brain, referred to as GABA(A)... 

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is thought to have emerged some 40,000 years ago, started to be prevalent some 10,000 years ago and developed some dangerous resistant strains around 6,000 years ago. A recent study tracks the history of Tuberculosis around the world and over the centuries. The article “Tuberculosis genomes track human history” by Ewen Callaway in the recent publication of Nature... 

Dr. Melanie Mormile, the head researcher of a team of scientists from the Missouri University of Science and Technology who found a new species of bacterium which cleans up the environment and produces hydrogen. Scientists have found a new species of bacterium which cleans up the environment and produces hydrogen, an element which may in the future reduce the world’s dependency on oil. The bacterium... 

The Church of England has expressed opposition to an amendment on a bill up for debate next week that would allow so-called “three-parent babies.” Introducing laws to allow in vitro fertilization (IVF) babies to be born with DNA from three different people would be “irresponsible,” said medical ethics adviser to the Church of England, Rev Dr. Brendan McCarthy. An amendment to the Human Fertilization... 

Coffee contains a protein that has an effect similar to morphine, specialists at the University of Brasilia and Brazilian agriculture research company Embrapa have discovered. Moreover, the new substance’s effect lasts longer. The research was conducted by Felipe Vinecky of the Molecular Biology Department at the University of Brasilia (UnB) in cooperation with the Genetics and Biotechnology Division...
