(Natural News) The coronavirus may be using the eyes as an entry point into the body, suggests a new study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University. The study, published in a preprint format in MedRxiv, found that a certain protein enzyme produced by the eyes called angiotensin-converting enzyme-2, or ACE-2, can serve as a […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Freiburg have found evidence to suggest that the immune system could distinguish between self and non-self molecules through interacting with them. This team, led by biologists Wolfgang Schamel and Wilfried Weber, provided data that supported a hypothesis scientists have long held concerning how T cells differentiate between pathogens and the body’s […]

(Natural News) A recent study brought up the possibility of restoring the function of insulin-producing beta cells in diabetes patients. It showed how pancreatic cells change their behavior during the onset of the disease. The study, which employed a human cell system, revealed that diabetes altered the RNA messaging system that gave orders to proteins to […]

(Natural News) One of the wonders of the human body is how coordinated everything seems to be. Each part of the body works together in perfect tandem to allow physiological, cognitive, and behavioral functions. Researchers have looked into how the many parts of the body cooperate almost flawlessly, and a new study now sheds light […]

(Natural News) The idea that cannabis (marijuana) is a “dangerous drug” with “no therapeutic value” is one of the biggest lies ever promulgated on the masses. Truth be told, the human body was made for cannabis, as evidenced by the countless cannabis receptors that exist throughout the cellular system. In a powerful video uploaded to […]

(Natural News) A study on bioactive peptides could have wide-ranging benefits in supporting overall cardiovascular health. In particular, bioactive peptides have the potential to be used in treating endothelial dysfunction, a condition which might lead to cardiovascular diseases if left unchecked, according to researchers from the University of Alberta. The review, published in Food Science and Human […]

(Natural News) In an effort to further improve current and future methods used in the biomedical field, a group of researchers have figured out a way to control the “factories” that essentially breathe life into engineered cells. As a report on the finding states, the technique used by the researchers involves making changes to the […]

(Natural News) Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal Cell revealed that vitamin A deficiency may lead to adverse effects on the hematopoietic system in the bone marrow. According to the study, vitamin deficiency may greatly impact the production of important hematopoietic stem cells. Previous research found that stem cells contain two main characteristics. First, stem […]
