Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Flavonoids from fruit can help protect you from viper venom
Flavonoids are active compounds produced by plants as part of their natural defense against microbial pathogens. In edible plants like vegetables, flavonoids serve as both pigments and regulators of their growth. Meanwhile in fruits and flowers, these useful compounds provide them with aroma and color. They also attract pollinators, eventually assisting in fruit dispersion, as […]

Researchers find a new method of using bone marrow stem cells to reverse multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal subjects
Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, is a type of treatment that harnesses the power of stem cells to promote the repair of diseased, dysfunctional or damaged tissue. Stem cells, which serve as the body’s raw materials, are the earliest form of all cells in the human body. Prior to their maturation into specialized […]
