Wrinkles can Be Really Ironed Out, Thanks to Vitamin A

...use it suffers less exposure to the sun, which can accelerate skin ageing. Not everyone finished the study, and it was assumed by the researchers that the 13 people who dropped out had not seen any benefits in how their skin looked. However, even with this added in to the results, there was a significant im...

Good News for Sufferers of Heart Attack, Chest Pain

...olved in the national D2B Alliance, which seeks to accelerate the use of emergency angioplasty by helping hospitals be ready to deliver the life-saving treatment as quickly as possible after a patient arrives. So, as hospitals work to improve their heart care even more, the new study's authors hope that addit...

Replacing a Genome Boosts Race to Develop Designer Bugs: Study

...nother by swapping their genomes, a move that will accelerate the race to develop custom-built synthetic bugs, a pioneer on genetics said Thursday. Craig Venter, who had a hand in mapping the human genome, said a team of his researchers had transplanted the entire genetic code of one bacterial organism into ...

Maths Theory Shows Genetic Pattern of Tumour Growth

...cancer cells can alter their own genetic makeup to accelerate tumour growth by using a mathematical theory. This is the first study to show why such alterations in the genetic makeup of cancer cells occur. It provides insight into how tumours thrive, besides offering a potential foundation for future cancer ...
