Studies have shown that Prozac, even in trace amounts, comparable to the current amount of Prozac leaked into fish ecosystems, causes fish to literally commit suicide, or even attack other fish viciously. This same reaction is encountered in humans on a regular basis, and is commonplace among mass murders. A research group at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee... 

In a historic ruling that drastically affects the future of science and medicine, the Supreme Court unanimously decided that human genes cannot be patented, but that synthetically created DNA strands are “patent eligible”. The ruling is a victory for science researchers who have been restricted from creating tests or treatment options involving human genes... 

Dead baby pills: This is ground baby powder which tests discovered is 99.7 per cent human last year. South Korean officials have stopped 17,000 dead baby pills being imported since last August Thousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea, it was revealed today. The capsules are in demand because... 

A new study has suggested that consuming high doses of two common painkillers ibuprofen and diclofenac can increase the risk of heart problems. Those people who take high doses of common painkillers known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and diclofenac for a long time are in higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases,... 

Gene therapy protected mice influenza virus pandemic… A dose of adeno-associated virus, which acts as an activator of the antibody that neutralizes the influenza pandemic strains in the nostrils of mice and ferrets (rodents), protected them from the flu. A study by specialists at the University of Pennsylvania, in the United States (U.S.) revealed on... 

Children who live in areas with air traffic pollution are threatened by higher risk of insulin resistance that can lead to diabetes in adults, a new study suggests. According to the study on 400 participants of 10-year-olds conducted by German researchers, air pollutants are oxidizers that can impact on lipids and proteins in the blood. To measure the participated... 

In Europe, nearly everyone is related. A new genetic analysis showed that Europeans have a high degree of relatedness between themselves and are descendants of a group of ancestors who lived only a thousand years ago. The study examined the genetic proximity between residents of 39 countries over the past three thousand years to compare the genetic sequences... 

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... 

News that a research laboratory in China is deliberately engineering new hybrid strains of bird-flu virus and human influenza which could cause a pandemic has some experts alarmed. Lord May of Oxford, former president of the UK’s Royal Society, has denounced the results conducted by a team under Professor Chen Hualan, the director of China’s National Avian... 

Ron Fouchier, author of the original study. A group of leading scientists – including a Nobel Prize winner – has proclaimed that it is “ethically and morally” wrong to alter the deadly H5N1 virus to make it more contagious for research purposes, and have asked President Obama to ban it. “The accidental release of an artificial, laboratory-generated,... 

Chinese scientists have said that a new coronavirus, which has already killed 11, appears to be deadlier than SARS. The new virus, originating in the Middle East, can affect many different organs and kill cells more rapidly than SARS. The infectious disease strongly resembles Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which killed 800 people in 2002 and 2003... 

American scientists have discovered an interesting invisible fish. It was pirate perch, a favorite of many aquarists. However, it is not invisible in terms of visibility but, rather, in terms of scent. Olfactory receptors of virtually all its victims are unable to detect its scent. So far this is the only example of universal chemical invisibility in the animal... 

A number of top US grocery stores, including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, have pledged to reject selling the genetically engineered “frankenfish” if it is allowed on the market in April. The mutant fish was engineered by scientists at a company called AquaBounty, which has spent more than 15 years and $50 million researching and perfecting the frankenfish.... 

A shocking report prepared by Health Minister Dr. Veronika Skvortsova for President Putin that is circulating in the Kremlin today states that a Peoples Republic of China genetic test “backfired” and has, instead, caused a catastrophic situation to occur in Anhui Province wherein nearly 5 million swine have died during the past fortnight. According to this... 

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...
