Acknowledged as a nutrient vital for a robust immune system, Vitamin C may also be crucial for slowing down the human body's ageing process, says a study.The study published in the latest edition of the American journal Rejuvenation Research has underscored a protective mechanism in the human body aimed at maintaining the level of ascorbic acid (chemical name for Vitamin C) in blood plasma, which invariably...

University of Colorado at Boulder team has developed the first atlas of bacterial diversity across the human body, charting wide variations in microbe populations that live in different regions of the human body and which aid us in physiological functions that contribute to our health.The study showed humans carry "personalized" communities of bacteria around that vary widely from our foreheads and...

Scientists have developed an atlas of the bacteria that live in different regions of the human body.Some of the microbes help keep us healthy by playing a key role in physiological functions.The University of Colorado at Boulder team found unexpectedly wide variations in bacterial communities from person to person.The researchers hope their work, published in Science Express, will eventually aid clinical...

human body contains billions of microorganisms, and microbial cells found in the human gut are estimated to outnumber human cells by ten-to-one in healthy adults. However, little is known about the ways in which these minute life forms influence health and disease....

American scientists have identified over 4,200 species of bacteria that live in various parts of a human body and mapped them into an atlas., also found unexpectedly wide variations in bacterial communities from person to person."Not only did the bacterial communities vary from person to person, they also varied considerably from one site on the body to another, and from test to test - but some patterns...

Scientists have revealed a key cellular pathway in a fish which appears to trigger regeneration.Regeneration is restricted to some animals excluding the humans. The scientists have moved a bit forward by identifying the key cellular path which helps some animals in regenerating lost parts. This may help in understanding the secret of the regeneration process in certain animals.Some animals in the life...
