New Potential Malaria Treatment Detected

NEW POTENTIAL MALARIA TREATMENT DETECTED: Scientists have discovered a new molecules that can kill the malaria parasite, paving way for effective treatment for the disease. Using ultra sophisticated computerized modelling tools, researchers were successful in identifying a type of candidate molecules toxic for the pathogen, but not for the infected human red bold cells, the most severe form of malaria is caused by infection with plasmodium falciparum....

Vinegar-Drug Resistant to TB

VINEGAR CAN HELP FIGHT DRUG-RESISTANT TB: Acetic acid, an active ingredient in vinegar, can be used as an inexpensive and non-toxic disinfectant against drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, scientists say. Acetic acid can effectively kill mycobacteria, even highly drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis, according to an international team of researchers from Venezuela, France and US. Work with drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria carries serious biohazard risks....

Yellow "Hypergiant" Star

BIGGEST YELLOW “HYPERGIANT” STAR SPOTTED: An international team of scientists using the very large telescope Interferometer, in March 2014, announced to have discovered the largest known yellow hyper giant star in our galaxy. The best known example is Rho Cassiopeia. These stars are among the biggest and brightest stars known and are at a stage of their lives when they are unstable and changing rapidly. Due to this instability, these objects also expel materials outwards, forming a large, extended atmosphere around the star....

Artificial Heart

SCIENTIST DEVELOP AN ARTIFICIAL HEART: Heart muscles that actually beat, created artificially in the lab, have for the first time become a reality. In a major breakthrough that could repair millions of human hearts damaged after massive heart attack, scientists have for the first time successfully implanted artificial heart tissues that actually beat in animals....
