Dendritic and T-cells are integral parts of the human immune system Scientists at George Mason University have carried out a groundbreaking new research project, finally revealing the reason why the deadly HIV virus targets only a specific kind of T-cell. The new discovery may change the way the disease is tackled. The study, which was recently published online, will appear in October’s Journal of... 

It is called Novel Coronavirus, it is deadly and it is a nightmare: it seems the virus that causes the common cold has mutated to a pathogenic strain which causes severe respiratory problems and kidney failure. It has been confirmed that this type of virus has never been found before in humans. The epicenter seems to be Saudi Arabia; to date there is one death and one person in the ICU. The human... 

Russian authorities temporary suspended the import and sale of Monsanto’s genetically-modified corn after a French study suggested it may be linked to cancer. ­The Russia’s consumer-rights regulator Rospotrebnadzor asked scientists at the country’s Institute of Nutrition to review the study. The watchdog has also contacted to European Commission’s Directorate General for Health & Consumers... 

French researchers secretly studied, for two years, 200 rats fed with transgenic maize. Tumors, serious disorders… full-fledged slaughter. And a bomb for the GMO industry. As you will see in the video, the results collected during a study that focused on determining the potential harm done to animals and humans from consuming GMO corn NK603 are worthy of the outrage and concern we are finally... 

Genetically engineered wheat contains an enzyme suppressor that, when consumed by humans, could cause permanent liver failure and death. That’s the warning issued today by molecular biologist Jack Heinemann of the University of Canterbury in Australia. Heinemann has published an eye-opening report that details this warning and calls for rigorous scientific testing on animals before this crop is... 

Scientists use 3D MRI scans to look at various facial landmarks, confirming five genes that are responsible for various face-shape traits. Researchers have moved one step closer to facial reconstruction with DNA by discovering the genes that help control the width of the human face. A recent study of almost 10,000 individuals revealed five genes associated with different facial shapes – known... 

University of Colorado scientists have identified a minute particle inside a protein that is responsible for human intelligence. Researchers suggest that this microscopic molecule makes the human to become the most intelligent creature on earth, stressing that DUF1220 can explain why human brains are bigger and more complex than any other animals. Compared with other species, human brain’s ratio... 

Researchers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have made a quite major step forward in developing a technique which leverages an electronic interface to remotely control cockroaches. While this is supposedly to be used for positive purposes, namely, to find survivors in a building destroyed by an earthquake, I think it is quite obvious that this is not the only thing it could be used for. The... 

For the first time ever, scientists have given a previously blind woman sight by way of a bionic eye. The Australian-designed implant, which resembles the model worn by Arnie in The Terminator, is likely to transform the lives of millions worldwide. Dianne Ashworth, who is suffering from the incurable condition retinitis pigmentosa, had lost almost all vision when surgeons at the Royal Victorian Eye... 

Dr. Erin Giudice, a pediatrician at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, proposed a new way to coerce parents into giving their children vaccinations: a clear, dissolvable patch that will elevate fears associated with needles. Pharmaceutical corporations, the US government and researchers at state-sponsored universities are focused on more sophisticated ways of ensuring the general population... 

Study says an MRI scan can exactly reveal how old we are. US Researchers say there is a ‘developmental clock’ inside the brain that can reveal exact age and help understand the mechanisms underlying disorders such as ADHD and autism. “We have uncovered a ‘developmental clock’ of sorts within the brain-a biological signature of maturation that captures age differences quite... 

Jaroslav Flegr beleives that he has been infected by a parasite that is manipulating his behaviour Parasites passed from cats could be causing schizophrenia in their owners, a scientist has claimed. Studies have also shown behavioral changes in humans, including lower reaction times and a sixfold increased risk of traffic accidents among infected, RhD-negative males, as well as links to schizophrenia... 

A team of researchers looking into why cancer cells are so resilient accidentally stumbled upon a far more important discovery. While conducting their research, the team discovered that chemotherapy actually heavily damages healthy cells and subsequently triggers them to release a protein that sustains and fuels tumor growth. Beyond that, it even makes the tumor highly resistant to future treatment. Reporting... 

Study shows that the increasing temperature of the Baltic Sea coincided with the onset of gastrointestinal infections caused by the bacterium Vibrio, reported the German news service Deutsche Welle. Climate change caused by man is behind the unexpected appearance of a group of bacteria in northern Europe that can cause gastroenteritis, a new study by a group of experts shows. The study, published... 

Researchers from Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have turned inanimate silicone and living cardiac muscle cells into a freely swimming jellyfish. Published in Nature Biotechnology on July 22, the method used for producing the tissue-engineered jellyfish has been dubbed ‘Medusoid.’ Jellyfish propel themselves by pumping, US researchers therefore focused on...
