Israel Approves the Sale of Fake Laboratory Made Meat
In a groundbreaking move, an Israeli company has secured preliminary approval from the government to sell the world’s first steaks created from cultivated beef cells, as announced by the country’s Health Ministry this week. The approval is part of a pilot program for alternative protein conducted by the Department of Food Risk Management, reflecting a response to the increasing global...
Worst Fears Realized: Pfizer mRNA Integrates Into Your DNA
A new study is out: Intracellular Reverse Transcription of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 In Vitro in Human Liver Cell Line.
What it is saying is: lab studies show that mRNA vaccine DOES integrate itself into human cellular DNA. This means that a shot of the Pfizer vaccine, taken even once, permanently changes the DNA of affected cells.
It was not supposed to happen
For over a year,...
Australian Spider Venom Found to Kill Cancer; Leave Healthy Cells Unharmed
Medical scientists have made a stunning breakthrough in the fight to cure cancer after discovering that the venom from a deadly Australian spider can actually kill melanoma cells while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed, according to reports.
Researchers at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Austrailia found a peptide from the venom of a Darling Downs funnel-web spider contains...
Human genes ‘continue to function after we die’
Cells in the body continue to function for a period after death, new Spanish research claims, with some genes even becoming more active when an individual shuffles off this mortal coil.
Scientists hope that this new discovery will help forensic scientists more accurately pinpoint the time of a person’s death. An international team examined 36 different types of tissue from 540 corpses to come to...
Marijuana Kills Cancer Says US National Cancer Institute
Cannabis kills cancer, the National Cancer Institute admits.
The institute recently updated its ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page about marijuana to include various studies revealing how cannabis “may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow” while also protecting normal, healthy cells.
“A laboratory...
Scientists splice Woolly DNA into elephant cells
The Woolly Mammoth at the Royal BC Museum, Victoria, British Columbia.
Scientists at Harvard University are one step closer to bringing Woolly mammoths back to life, after successfully inserting some sequences of mammoth DNA into an elephant genome. The study is yet to be published, though, as there is still work to do.
No recreation of the Ice Age would be complete without large, shaggy woolly mammoths...
Erasing memories and landing on a comet
2014’s accomplishments have uncovered new facts from Earth’s early days, as well as opened new horizons – in tiny cells and vast space exploration, affecting the planet’s and its inhabitants’ future. How did it all go?
#Cometlanding and exploring origins of life
Ten years on Earth might be a speck of sand in the hour glass of the galaxy, but not for the European Space...
Activating single gene could extend human lifespan by 30%
David Walker
In an experiment on fruit flies, UCLA biologists activated just one gene, AMPK, which extended their lifespan by nearly a third, by helping them to get rid of “cellular garbage” causing old age diseases such as Parkinson’s. Humans have the same gene.
“Instead of studying the diseases of aging Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease,...
Scientists develop aging reversal chemical
A team of Australian and American scientists has developed a new chemical compound with the ability of reversing aging process tested in animal.
The newly found drug like a youth elixir targets and reverses muscle aging while it can build up muscle tone, reduce inflammation and give mice more energy.
The drug that conjures up the story of David Fincher’s movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button...
Scientists unravel biggest mystery of HIV
Scientists have finally found a way to outsmart the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or rather, its ability to hide from the antibodies and immune cells. This is the quality that makes HIV so dangerous. However, researchers were able to find a way to create an effective cure for AIDS using the substance tacrolimus and finally win over the dangerous disease.
The main difficulty against the human...
Killer Molecule can destroy cancer
It seems that soon the cancer will eventually get the revenge it deserves. The tumors that destroy the lives of millions will probably be defeated with the so called killer molecule.
The American scientists made boast of their invention that can wipe out the cancer cells. They consider it as the first and unique structure that implants itself into the harmful cell and then sets the destructive mechanism...
Garbage man gene could prolong life spans, discoverers say
A team of researchers in the United States has discovered that higher levels of a gene called parkin extend the life span and maintain health in fruit flies.
On Monday, the researchers said that a gene, which behaves like a garbage man by disposing of damaged materials in cells, had increased the life spans of fruit flies and may open new windows in dealing with human aging.
The study, which was published...
Study Accidentally Finds Chemotherapy Makes Cancer Far Worse
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...
350 inmates die in Honduras prison Fire
Forensic personnel remove the corpse of one of the inmates of the National Prison compound in Comayagua, Honduras, on February 15, 2012.
A massive fire has swept through a prison in Honduras killing at least 350 inmates, many of whom burned to death in their cells, officials say.
According to senior official at the attorney general’s office, Danelia Ferrera, the blaze that began late on Tuesday...
