Researchers grow natural teeth from epithelial cells
Researchers from King’s College London have achieved a breakthrough method during which they can grow real teeth from a person’s own gum cells.
The study published the Journal of Dental Research is first major advance in developing a method to replace missing teeth with new bioengineered teeth.
Researchers isolated some cells from adult human gum (gingival) tissue from patients and grew...
Ancient continent fragments discovered in Indian Ocean
A team of international researchers has discovered fragments of an ancient supercontinent of earth vanished beneath the floor of the Indian Ocean.
The fragments, called Mauritia, are remains of a landmass on earth that would have existed between 2,000 and 85 million years ago, researchers say.
The earth’s landmass was gathered into a vast single continent called Rodinia, according to the study...
Over 40 Plant-Based Compounds Halt the Spread of Cancer
Cancer wouldn’t be as fatal or as tragic if it didn’t spread. If cancer was a cluster of diseased cells, it would be more easily treatable. But, it’s the spread of cancer, also known as metastasis, that makes it so volatile, so difficult to stop. A study recently published in Cancer and Metastasis Reviews looks at how a plant-based diet can stop this spread, working to halt cancer in its tracks.
“Most...
Eye Drops Can Treat Baldness
Bald men can regain hair with eye drops for glaucoma. Drug interactions and pre-existing diseases can make the therapy risky. However, eye drops for glaucoma have become a macho thing. It may even end one of the world’s greatest male torments, baldness. So a survey, published by researchers in the journal FASEB, reveals.
Eye drops for glaucoma have become a macho thing. It may even end one of...
Many UFO researchers die under mysterious circumstances
Many UFO researchers working on their research in the 1970s and 1980s died under mysterious circumstances, and may have been killed. This is the conclusion reached by an amateur astronomer, a former U.S. government adviser Timothy Hood. He made this statement at an international conference in Amsterdam dedicated to search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
This statement is true not so much for the...
Scientists discover the exact spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated
A concrete structure confirms that Julius Caesar was stabbed in the center of the Curia di Pompeo, while presiding over the meeting of the Senate in the year 44 BC… Researchers of the Spanish Superior Council of Scientific Investigations (SCSI) discovered the exact place of the assassination of Julius Caesar in the year 44 BC, the SCSI said on Wednesday.
Researchers of the Spanish Superior Council...
US Alchemy Researchers Create 24-Carat Gold in Lab
Iranian researcher Kazem Kashefi along with his American colleague Adam Brown has created gold in Michigan State University using bacteria in a way called ‘microbial alchemy’.
Kashefi and Adam Brown used a special type of bacterium to turn liquid gold into more valuable 24-karat gold.
They reported that the bacteria Cupriavidus metallidurans is capable of resisting the toxic effects of...
Ancient river found on Mars
It seems that Curiosity, a Martian rover, managed to find evidence that proves that there used to be a lot of water on the Red Planet. The discovery means that that there could be life on Mars as well. The images obtained with the help of telemetry show a river channel or streams among rocks. Researchers are studying the images, trying to determine the parameters of an ancient water reservoir.
The...
Scientists now able to do 3D Facial Reconstructions from DNA sample
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...
Microscopic molecule determines human intelligence
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...
University Researchers Develop a Technique to Remotely Control Cockroaches
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...
Ultra-compact Hiriko Fold to go on sale next year
The computer generated image shows how the Hiriko Fold is able to fold up to fit into tiny spaces.
Researchers have designed a new car that can fold up to fit itself into small spaces, making it much easier for the driver to find a parking space.
Developed by MIT’s Changing Places group and the Spanish Basque region’s development agency DENOKINN, the Hiriko Fold, is an ultra-compact electric...
Researchers Develop New Pain-Free Ways to Make Sure You Are Vaccinated
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...
Da Vinci's self-portrait in poor condition, damaged beyond repair
The famous self-portrait of Da Vinci.
Researchers say a self-portrait by the legendary Italian painter and architect, Leonardo da Vinci, kept in a vault in the city of Turin, is in poor condition and probably beyond repair.
The invaluable drawing which depicts the Italian Renaissance artist in his 60s was exposed to sunlight after being framed for an exhibition in 1929.
The exposure has caused the...
Microbes discovered in Mars-like environment on Earth
Researchers studied the rocky soil samples from the volcanoes in the Atacama region in South American that have conditions similar to Mars.
A team of researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder has found a type of organism that can survive the most inhospitable conditions on Earth.
“We haven’t formally identified or characterized the species. But these are very different than anything...
