September 30th 2010 16:52
Water is an appetite control agent that requires no prescription and has no side effects. Scientists have found out that drinking just two glasses of water before meals help people to shed weight. Study found out that dieters who drank water before meals, three times per day lost about 5 pounds more than other dieters. Water may be so effective simply because it fills up the stomach with the substance that has zero calories. People feel fuller as a result, and eat less calorie containing food during the meal.

Liver Cells from Patients Skin

September 10th 2010 03:29
Scientists have created liver cells in a lab for the first time using reprogrammed cells from human skin. This will pave the way for the potential development of new treatments for liver diseases that kill thousands each year. This technology bypasses the need for using human embryos. The cells created are as good as the embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are seen as most powerful and malleable type of cells but are controversial as they are harvested from human embryos. For this study the scientists took skin samples from patients who were suffering from variety of liver diseases. They then reprogrammed cells from the skin samples into a kind of stem cell called induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells and then reprogrammed them to generate liver cells. This turned out to be the whole new sphere of research.
