(Natural News) A joint study by two top epidemic research institutes in China warns that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) has gone through rapid mutations since January, and these genetic changes may allow it to spread for much longer than expected. In a paper posted in the pre-print server bioRxiv, researchers at Guangzhou Medical University and Fudan University stated that the coronavirus has […]

(Natural News) The coronavirus is sweeping across the United States at an unprecedented rate. Since the first confirmed case in Washington state on January 20, hundreds of new cases have emerged in different states, and the number of coronavirus deaths has risen to nine as of Tuesday. Following warnings of possible community spread of the coronavirus by the Centers for […]

(Natural News) Deadly lung cancers were found to be the result of multiple genetic changes, according to a study led by researchers from the University of San Francisco (UCSF). The UCSF team’s findings imply that new first-line combination therapies are necessary to treat the full array of mutations that can worsen a patient’s cancer and thwart drug resistance. Trever […]

(Natural News) Duke University published a fascinating study on the futility of current antibiotics in the fight against mutating pathogens. Abuse of selective antibiotics has accelerated the evolution of bacteria. The bacteria survive by passing on resistant traits to their offspring. To combat the resistance, some medical researchers have proposed that we as a society reduce antibiotic use to […]

(Natural News) It seems like we’re one step closer to finding the elusive fountain of youth. A recent study has discovered a genetic mutation in the Amish that makes them live longer. Researchers have determined a genetic mutation in the Amish people, who live in the midwestern United States, that allegedly helps them live 10 […]
