According to cosmetologists, beauty products can give you a confidence boost but not good health. Women should take a holistic approach to life and beauty, and this includes proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and cosmetic products. Some women resort to pill popping and collagen injections while others use organic products only. The most important things to… Continue reading

There is connection between genetic alteration and male Infertility
One in seven couples worldwide has difficulty conceiving a child, and male infertility is thought to account for nearly half of those cases. Although the cause of male infertility is often unknown, scientists have now discovered a genetic alteration that disrupts sperm production in otherwise healthy men. The research, published by Cell Press in the… Continue reading
New Functions For New Genes
Research at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain and the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, USA has revealed a novel mechanism for the control of human genes. The work, published in Cell, present an anticipated mode of regulation of some processes such as differentiation and development or oncogenesis. Thanks to the new technological… Continue reading
What the reasons of the multicelluliarity? All in a family
One of the most pivotal steps in evolution-the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms-may not have required as much retooling as commonly believed, found a globe-spanning collaboration of scientists led by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute. A comparison of the genomes of the… Continue reading
Genes on borrow? Already a fact
It has been a basic principle of evolution for more than a century that plants and animals can adapt genetically in ways that help them better survive and reproduce. Now, in a paper to be published in the journal Science, University of Rochester biologist John Jaenike and colleagues document a clear example of a new… Continue reading
Virus and some kind of genes causing Crohn’s-like illness
Scientists have shown that a specific virus can interact with a mutation in the host’s genes to trigger disease. The observation may help explain why many people with disease risk genes do not actually develop disease. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that three factors were necessary in mice to… Continue reading
Genetic “chips” gave the information about heart disease
New research at the University of Leicester will use the latest genetic techniques to examine DNA from over 20,000 patients with heart disease. The study will help to identify new genes and molecules responsible for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). This, in turn may help to develop new diagnostic and treatment strategies. The project is being… Continue reading
Restkess legs syndrome is connected with gene of the family
Restless legs syndrome appears to aggregate in families, and the siblings of those who are severely affected appear to have an increased risk of developing the disease, according to a report in the May issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Restless legs syndrome is primarily based on patient reports of symptoms,… Continue reading
