A SOV1 Deletion Extends Life Span without Affecting Steady-State Levels of ROS or Oxidative Damage Mitochondria are the body’s energy producers, the power stations inside our cells. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have now identified a group of mitochondrial proteins, the absence of which allows other protein groups to stabilise the genome. This …
Most pre-election projections were for Canada to elect another Conservative minority government. However, a Conservative Majority was elected. UPDATE: The Bloc Quebecois is no longer an official political party in Canada’s parliament. The younger people in Quebec are less interested in separation. This could mean the passing of Quebec separatism as a significant risk. The …
Nanocone-based solar cell consisting of n-type nanocones, p-type matrix, transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and glass substrate. With the creation of a 3-D nanocone-based solar cell platform, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Jun Xu has boosted the light-to-power conversion efficiency of photovoltaics by nearly 80 percent. Xu and colleagues were able to obtain …
I have been taking Stem Cell 100, the supplement produced by Genescient, for the last three months. I had my Cholesterol and a blood and urine screening on April 1st. My Cholesterol levels are improved from the last time I had a screening. Slightly higher good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is at …
chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is currently treated with a class of drugs called Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and in the majority of cases this treatment is successful, with around 90% of patients recovering from the disease. However in the majority of patients a subset of cancer cells – CML stem cells – are resistant to Tyrosine …
A study at Duke University could help researchers more precisely determine the ecological impacts of coal ash, a byproduct of coal combustion at power plants. Coal ash is disposed of in liquid form at large surface impoundments and in solid form at landfills. These residuals contain contaminants such as mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, which are …
Writing in the journal Circulation Research: Journal of the American Heart Association, scientists show in a small study that stem cell therapy can reverse heart damage in patients with enlarged hearts due to heart attacks. In addition, the benefits from the stem cell injections appear to be three times better than that offered by current …

The latest reports are 500 missing and 300 dead in Japan from the worlds fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The World Nuclear Association, the main nuclear industry body, said Friday that it understood the situation at Japan’s Fukushima plant after a massive earthquake was under control, and water was being pumped into its cooling system. …
Re-insurance companies have seen their shares fall in anticipation of the payouts for the costs of rebuilding after the Japanese 8.9 earthquake. Early estimates are that the costs will be in the $30 billion range. There were scenarios put out years ago of a superquake to hit Tokyo and Japan calling back a trillion invested …
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a cheap and easy method for assembling nanowires, controlling their alignment and density. The researchers hope the findings will foster additional research into a range of device applications using nanowires, from nanoelectronics to nanosensors, especially on unconventional substrates such as rubber, plastic and paper. Strain-Release Assembly of …
