Ginseng’s secret weapon: Battling cancer with ancient wisdom

October 16, 2023 -

Studied extensively, ginsenosides display anticancer and anti-metastatic properties – not only by restricting cancer cell proliferation, viability, invasion and migration, but also by promoting apoptosis (cell death) or paraptosis (a new and unique cell death mode), cell cycle arrest and autophagy (the body's process of reusing old and damaged cell parts) in several cancers, such as brain, breast, gastric, liver and lung cancer.

Studies also indicate that ginsenosides ...

Ancient tablet discovered on Mount Ebal in Nablus precedes known Hebrew inscriptions

May 22, 2023 -

The tablet was inadvertently disturbed during diggings performed by Adam Zertal, a controversial archaeologist from the University of Haifa (UH) in Israel, back in 1982.

One of the piles dubbed as the "east dump" apparently held the tablet that was rediscovered 37 years later.

Originating from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the red junglefowl became one of the first domesticated chicken species after humans domesticated it about 10,000 years ago, prizing the bird for its meat and eggs. However, it was only after World War II that selective breeding techniques transformed it into the rotund, short-lived creature found in supermarkets worldwide today.

"The modern meat chicken is unrecognizable compared to its ancestors or wild counterparts," explained ...

U.K. museum claims birds are queer, dinosaurs were LGBTQ

One such claim suggests that certain bird species, like pheasants, exhibit "queer" behavior by changing sex from female to male.

"Despite queer behavior in the animal kingdom being observed as far back as the 18th century, it is often ignored or hidden from the public. One example is of female pheasants changing their sex when they stop laying eggs and turn their brown feathers into the brightly colored feathering typical of males," the guide states.
