(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) have found that a certain kind of naturally occurring fungus is capable of killing over 99 percent of mosquitoes in a simulated village setting. This study, published in the journal Science, had a research team describe their trial for a transgenic approach to combating malaria. By definition, transgenic is when genetic material is transplanted into […]

(Natural News) Antimatter – defined by modern physics as sub-atomic particles that have properties opposite normal sub-atomic particles – has recently been confirmed as both a particle and a wave. In a study published in the journal Scientific Advances, a team of physicists from Italian and Swiss institutions, said they made the discovery after subjecting positrons, or positively charged […]

(Natural News) Older adults looking to improve their driving skills may need to sit down and play a brain-training video game before hitting the road, according to a new study. Carried out by Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan and led by Rui Nouchi, associate professor in the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, the research found that seniors […]

(Natural News) Functional dyspepsia (DP) is a term used to refer to symptoms which affect the gastrointestinal tract. Although these symptoms are fairly common and are also associated with other diseases, they fall under FD when they have no apparent cause. According to studies, about 15 to 30 percent of the world’s population is affected by this […]

(Natural News) The development and deployment of intercontinental nuclear missiles in the 1950s was a military game changer that many experts believe actually prevented a third or even a fourth world war between the great powers. Though conventional war remained a threat, any large power with a nuclear arsenal would no doubt use it in […]

(Natural News) The resounding message from the conventional healthcare community has always been that cancer cannot be cured, and that a toxic regimen of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery is the only hope a cancer patient has of surviving. In truth, there are natural remedies proven to both prevent and treat cancer, but you’ll never hear […]

(Natural News) Maintaining good oral health can help slow down the development of Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research. In a study published in Science Advances, researchers discovered that Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacterium that causes chronic periodontitis (gum infection), colonizes the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. The toxic substances produced by P. gingivalis — called gingipains — correlate with […]

(Natural News) The deep-see dragonfish is truly a predator meant for the murky depths of the ocean. Aside from its dark skin that allows it to blend in with the ocean’s depths, it has another tool in its arsenal: invisible teeth. A team of oceanographers and materials scientists from the University of California and the INM-Leibniz Insititute for New Materials in […]

(Natural News) Statistics indicate that about 12 percent of American women – that’s one in every eight – will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at some point in their lives. And, of course, breast cancer does not only strike women; men are also at risk of developing the disease. While overall death rates from […]

(Natural News) Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have identified a subpopulation of bone cells that causes cancer cells to “sleep,” allowing them to remain dormant for decades. Their findings, which appeared in the journal Breast Cancer Research, demonstrated a potential link between these bone cells and cancer recurrence. According to the team, the activity of these cells […]
