Possible solution to reverse human cell aging

Posted by Phillis Lewis on in Genetics

Reverse aging is one of the most alluring effects which people want to see in their lifetime. Though there is a lot of work which is to be done in this regard there is consistency on the part of the scientists that are working. The latest experiment that has been done in this regard has made sure that there are some exciting ways which can be adopted to get the work done. The anti-degeneration drugs which are being developed in this regard have also seen as the completely new level of the research and will employ the methods which are used for the anti-aging ideas. The bodily functions and their progressive decline are known as aging. It is also associated with the fact that the chronic diseases are also faced by the aging people such as diabetics and cancer.  The anti-aging progress methodology is a very complex process and requires a lot of time. Scientists are also making sure that the process is made fast, efficient and reliable. (more…)

The new oldest meteorite find can help understand how planets were built

Posted by Jacinth Spalding on in Astronomy

Even before the time was created and understood, the Big Bang made sure that the planets are formed in a way that is still under exploration. The research is still on and there are some clues which have been discovered recently to explain the idea of planet formation within the solar system. Space is vast and of unimaginable boundaries that no one has ever been able to detect. Talking about our own galaxy the space experts are of the view that it is about 100,000 light years in diameter. It is simply that no one can dare to get on a generation spaceship and start the journey of Milky Way exploration let alone the complete space. (more…)

Lab-grown lungs successfully transplanted into a pig

Posted by Rowland Brewer on in Bioengineering

Bioengineering is one of the best parts of the biology which makes sure that artificially grown organs are transplanted in such manner that no signs of rejection are shown. These carefully grown limbs make sure that the best is done as per the body and before making one sampling is done. The milestone has been achieved in this regard recently as it allowed the team to transplant the bioengineered lung into a pig and the body readily accepted the change. This is regarded as a benchmark for which the team has been working for a very long time now. There were some experiments before this success and it failed miserably. The lungs failed instantly as the body did not accept the changes at all. This success has paved a way for the scientists to believe that one day they will be able to provide the lungs to the humans that are in desperate need. (more…)

Genes that make wild animals our pets

Posted by Lena Ingham on in Animal sciences

The advancement in animal sciences can do wonders for the mankind. It is because there are certain wild animals that can be tamed to make sure that they become our pets. The start of the journey was the breeding tests which were done way back during the Soviet era. For the instant, the canine animals can also be used to make sure that they become our hunting dogs. They will then never mind the cuddly lifestyle which a normal dog loves a lot. In short, they will never be harm to the people that have kept them as a pet. The gene development has seen a whole new level with this advancement. It is also to be noted that the idea is not as new as it seems of be. It is early 50’s first experiment of this kind was taken up Soviet scientists. (more…)

First recorded coronal mass ejection from a distant star

Posted by Jacinth Spalding on in Outer solar space

The coronal mass ejection within the space is a mass ejection of the magnetic field and the corona and therefore it is regarded as one of the rarest events in space. With such ejection, it is also speculated and recorded that large amounts of plasma are also ejected. The magnetic field is strong so the recording of the event is relatively very easy to perform. The only star where such events are recorded is the sun which produces heat and light as a result of this event. However recently there has been a very rare event which has baffled the scientists as well as the space enthusiast all over the world. The Coronal Mass Ejection or the CME has been ejected from a very distant start that is not the sun. This is a very uncommon phenomenon because of the fact that only solar flares are detected on the stars but not the CME. (more…)
