Scientists may have found a way to cure cancer in humans. Scientists say they might have made a breakthrough in fighting cancer, which could save millions suffering from the deadly disease. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) have found that malaria protein can attack and fight cancer cells. According to the research team, a malaria protein... 

Simulation of electrical activity in a “virtual brain slice” formed from seven unitary digital reconstructions of neocortical microcircuits from part of a rat’s brain. A group of international scientists have digitally recreated a part of a rat’s brain using supercomputers. The accomplishment can lead to infinite possibilities, including the reconstruction of the human brain. What... 

An illustration depicting the three basic types of viruses. (Wadsworth Thomson Learning) Thanks to a newly developed test, doctors can now diagnose virtually any virus known to infect people and animals, researchers say. There are thousands of viruses known to cause illness in people and animals. The sheer quantity of the viruses makes their diagnosis very difficult and time-consuming as it involves... 

Cancer cells are seen with an electron microscope. American scientists from Florida have discovered a process to turn cancer cells back into normal cells by restoring the balance of key molecules controlling specific cellular functions. A group of researchers from the Mayo Clinic carried out the research published in the journal Nature: Cell Biology on Monday. Utilizing the new method in laboratory... 

Scientists have produced a prototype vaccine with promising results in treating MERS. Scientists say they have produced a prototype vaccine against the lung infection MERS coronavirus that has shown promising results. According to the study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the vaccine has been successful in guarding monkeys and camels against the deadly disease. “The data... 

Kidney diseases may often be a cause of premature death and hard to cure diseases. American scientists say that many people in the United States do not pay proper attention to their diet, thus increasing the number of cases of kidney diseases. There are six dangerous habits that many Americans unconsciously practice in their daily routine causing irreparable damage to their health. Insufficient amount... 

The future battlefield will be overcrowded with robots, genetically engineered “super-humans” and a wide range of autonomous killer bots, according to a US Army Research Laboratory report. The tactical battlefield of 2050 will surpass all expectations, since robots and super-human killers will be playing the first fiddle in the battle, according to thought leaders from the US Defense Department... 

NASA astronomers have found a second mountain range on Pluto. Scientists are puzzled over the distinctive difference with the first mountainous region discovered on the distant planet. The New Horizons mission said the mountains had been found on the lower-left ledge of Pluto’s heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio area. The mountains are from 1 to 1.5 kilometers high and are comparable with the Appalachian... 

A 3-D view of the mesh: microtubules (green tubes) of the mitotic spindle are held together by a yellow network, the mesh. (Warwick Medical School). Scientists have accidentally discovered a cell structure which may prove helpful in the understanding of cancer development. A group of researchers from the University of Warwick discovered “the mesh” and recently published their findings on the online... 

Artist’s impression of ice age on Earth at glacial maximum. A 60-percent drop in the Sun’s activity may unleash a “mini ice age” on the earth in 2030, scientists say. A team headed by Proffessor Valentina Zharkova used a new model of the Sun’s solar cycles to make the predictions, presented on the last day of the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales. The team used a technique called... 

A controversial trial of genetically modified (GM) wheat has failed to repel pests any more effectively than ordinary crops, scientists have found. Researchers attempted to engineer a variety of wheat to emit an odor that deters aphids in the hope of reducing the amount of pesticides required by plants. The crops, nicknamed “whiffy wheat,” were successful in lab tests, but succumbed to aphids... 

A team of scientists from Howard Hughes Medical Institute has developed an inexpensive test that can reveal viral infection history of an individual from a single drop of blood. A team of scientists has developed an inexpensive yet comprehensive test that can reveal viral infection history of an individual from a single drop of blood. The VirScan blood test, developed by scientists from Howard Hughes... 

Research links diminished cognitive skill in kids to cats. A recent study has linked a parasite generally carried by cats to a decline in memory and reading aptitude in children. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from the University of Iowa and Florida International University, The Telegraph reported on Monday. According to the scientists, Toxoplasma gondii, a single cell organism which... 

Noise heard across the globe for nearly a DECADE – but nobody has an explanation. A mysterious noise from the sky is continuing to baffle people all over the world, as well as giving those who hear it sleepless nights. Sounding like a trumpet or a collective from a brass section of an orchestra, a selection of videos shot from the Canada to Ukraine, via the U.S., Germany and Belarus show strange... 

Robotic pets will replace their living counterparts in less than a decade as technology infatuation is growing and more people are crossing over to a high-density urban lifestyle, scientists say. “It might sound surreal for us to have robotic or virtual pets, but it could be totally normal for the next generation,” said Dr. Jean-Loup Rault of the University of Melbourne in his paper published...
