-(Natural News) Viruses drive the rapid reproduction of infected cells, and this hastens the creation of more viruses. Excessive cellular proliferation is a telltale sign of cancer. According to a review by researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center (CU Cancer Center), viruses can manipulate the human immune system to ensure their survival and even promote cancer. Fortunately, […]

-(Natural News) Using DNA samples from a 500-year old mummified remains of a child, researchers were able to crack the genetic code of an ancient strain of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The finding, wherein scientists were able to “sequence the complete genome” of the virus, could help medical experts understand the intricacies of HBV, which is a […]

-(Natural News) Sugary drinks aren’t just bad for your teeth. According to a recent study, children aged two to three years old who consume sugar-sweetened beverages can have shorter telomeres. The study by researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) revealed that if this early-life exposure alters the length of telomeres, or “the protective end […]

-(Natural News) Our gut microbes compete with each other for nutrients, which may consequently lead to us having a nutritional deficiency. Apparently, our digestive system follows a “dog eat dog” world, with intestinal bacteria hoarding vital minerals, leaving us only with their leftovers or their waste. This was the alarming deduction made by a team […]

-(Natural News) It seems like with every modern scientific “breakthrough” we become more vulnerable as a species. The latest such leap for mankind was announced recently in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, and involves programming cells to fight diseases like cancer and the flu. The research team, led by Professor Alfonso Jaramillo of the University […]

-(Natural News) A new research suggested that molecules brought to Earth in meteor showers could potentially be converted into the building blocks of DNA, according to a Science Daily report. Researchers from the University of York found that amino nitriles, the molecular precursors to amino acids, were able to use molecules present in interstellar ice […]

-(Natural News) It is often said that people of past generations didn’t succumb to many of the illnesses people die of in 2017 simply because they didn’t live long enough to experience many of those ailments. However, the DNA of the remains of ancient people has provided new insight into their genetic disease factors. Throughout […]

-(Natural News) In something along the lines of an early warning, researchers at the Seattle-based University of Washington claim that they can hack into a computer with a small strand of DNA. The experts presented their findings about a potential DNA malware infection experiment at last week’s 26th USENIX Security Symposium in Vancouver. The Daily Mail summarized the […]

-(Natural News) Pregnant women, those who are trying to get pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, and young children, are all routinely cautioned against consuming fish like king mackerel, bigeye tuna, marlin, orange roughy, shark, swordfish and tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico, which are known to contain high levels of mercury. Studies have found that even small […]
