The ginseng herb is a nutritious root, which for centuries has been used to not only boost energy, but to also treat many health problems.
You have to love the health benefits of this amazing fruit.
With Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana) around the corner, certain traditional foods are expected to appear at the table. There are many different recipes, but there are several which are universal, including honey cake (try out this amazing recipe) and certain fruits. One of these fruits, originating in the Middle East, is the pomegranate.
I have eaten pomegranate around New Year since childhood. It is only recently, however, that I realised that apart from being a traditional fruit, it is also extremely beneficial to your health.
Scientists at Emory University School of Medicine have uncovered how a structural component inside neurons performs two coordinated dance moves when the connections between neurons are strengthened.
The results are published online in the journal Nature Neuroscience, and will appear in a future print issue.
In experiments with neurons in culture, the researchers can distinguish two separate steps during long-term potentiation, an enhancement of communication between neurons thought to lie behind learning and memory. Both steps involve the remodeling of the internal “skeletons” of dendritic spines, small protrusions on the surface of a neuron that receive electrical signals from neighboring cells.
The third assembly of the congress “LaserInnsbruck 2010, Advances and Controversies in Laser and Aesthetic Surgery”, an internationally established scientific meeting takes place September 15 – 18, 2010. Within the scope of this year’s conference the ”International Academy of Body Contouring and Laser Lipolysis” will organize a Workshop for all conference attendees under the direction of faculty member Katharina Russe-Wilflingseder, MD.
In positive collaboration with the industry, the Academy offers training options as well as continuing education possibilities in the university context, which is seldom offered in the field of liposuction. The Acade
Fresh insight into how plants slow their growth in cold weather could help scientists develop crops suited to cooler environments.
Researchers have shown for the first time that a gene – known as Spatula – limits the growth of plants in cool temperatures, possibly helping them adjust to cool conditions.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh, who took part in the study, believe that by manipulating the gene, they could produce the opposite effect – enabling development of crops that grow well in cold climates.
Scientists studied the Spatula gene in a weed known as thale cress and found that when levels of the gene were low, the plant leaves grew almost twice as much at lower temperatures as they would normally.
Tropical Storm Hermine slammed into northeastern Mexico near the Texas border on Monday, dumping heavy rain on a region still recovering from Hurricane Alex’s visit in June.
Hermine, the eighth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, was expected to weaken as it moved ashore but could trigger deadly flooding and tornadoes, the U.S.
