Researchers discovered why you like or loathe particular food

…ebuds German researchers revealed last month that obese children have a less sensitive sense of taste than children of normal weight. A study published in the Archives Of Disease In Childhood observed 99 obese children and 94 of normal weight aged between six and 18. It found that obese children found it significantly more difficult to tell one taste sensation from another, and to identify the tas…

Tongue has a sixth sense for fat, scientists say

US scientists believe they have identified a sixth taste for lipids – a previously unknown sense for fat. For many years it was assumed that the human tongue could only detect four tastes – sweet, sour, salt and bitter. In 1985 a fifth was discovered known as umani or savoury. The researchers’ findings indicate that certain people consume more fatty foods because they are less sensiti…

Supertasters finding sprouts and broccoli bitter have a better immune response

People who find sprouts and broccoli unbearably bitter are better at fighting off bugs due to chemicals in their nose

…at line the sinuses to start sweeping away microbial intruders. The activation also resulted in the release into the sinuses of nitric oxide which kills bacteria. The researchers looked at just one of 25 bitter receptors and it remains to be seen if the others affect the immune system. In the past researchers have used phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) to identify people with functional bitter receptors….

Good sense of smell is the key to a happy long-term relationship

New research suggests the way to a happy long-term union could be a good sense of smell

in a large number of areas. According to the Independent on Sunday, one study says women are more concerned about the way a potential date smells than looks, while another report found 13% of men and 52% of women have slept in the clothing of a partner because of the aroma. “The sense of smell provides social information about others,” according to researchers from the University of Dresden. “Its…

Male baldness: scientists have discovered a key protein that triggers hair loss

Researchers found levels of a key protein called prostaglandin D synthase are elevated in the cells of hair follicles located in bald patches on the scalp, but not in hairy areas

…pathway are already in development, they report in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The research could lead to a cream to treat baldness. Most men start to go bald in middle age, with about 80% of men having some hair loss by the age of 70. The male sex hormone testosterone plays a key role, as do genetic factors. They cause the hair follicles to shrink, eventually becoming so small tha…

Lab-grown meat created by Dutch scientists using stem cells

Dutch scientists have created strips of muscle tissue using stem cells with the aim of producing the first lab-grown hamburger later this year

Dutch scientists have created strips of muscle tissue using stem cells with the aim of producing the first lab-grown hamburger later this year. The aim of the research is to develop a more efficient way of producing meat than rearing animals. Prof. Mark Post said at a major science meeting in Canada that synthetic meat could reduce the environmental footprint of meat by up to 60%. “We would…

Fossilized foot bones discovered in Ethiopia give new insight into human evolution and ability to walk

The fossilized bones of a foot were discovered in Ethiopia and dated to be 3.4 million years

aul consists of eight elements from the forefoot – bones such as metatarsals and phalanges. The specimens were pulled from clay sediments at Burtele in the central Afar region of Ethiopia, about 520 km north-east of the capital Addis Ababa. It is a significant discovery because it demonstrates there was more than one pre-human species living in East Africa between three and four million year…

Woolly mammoth remains discovered in Siberia give hopes for cloning

The discovery of well-preserved woolly mammoth remains in eastern Siberia has raised distant hopes that the animal could be cloned

The discovery of well-preserved woolly mammoth remains in eastern Siberia has raised distant hopes that the animal could be cloned. A Russian-led team of international scientists found intact cells among remains including hair and bone marrow. In theory, the animal – which died out between 10,000 and 4,000 years ago – could be recreated if living cells are discovered among the remains…

An international team of scientists revealed the drama of 75 million years ago with a detailed analysis of the skeleton found in the Gobi desert, Mongolia. “It would be difficult and probably even dangerous for the small theropod dinosaur to target a…

Another eight pieces of genetic code linked to osteoarthritis discovered

British scientists have discovered another eight pieces of genetic code linked to osteoarthritis, bringing the total number to 11

British scientists have discovered another eight pieces of genetic code linked to osteoarthritis, bringing the total number to 11. Inherited factors account for at least half of any individual’s chance of developing this common condition that affects the joints, experts believe. And understanding these factors could offer up new treatments. The research in The Lancet compared the DNA of 7,4…

New species of limbless amphibian discovered in Kerala, India

The creature, about 168 mm in length and pink in color, belongs to an enigmatic, limbless group of amphibians known as the caecilians

amphibian group. According to the researchers, specimens of the novel caecilian – named Gegeneophis primus – were collected during field works in two consecutive monsoons, first in October 2010 and then in August 2011. They were discovered at a valley on a plantation in the Wynad district of Kerala. The creature, about 168 mm in length and pink in color, belongs to an enigmatic, limbl…

New primate species discovered in Borneo

The primate is a type of slow loris, a small cute-looking animal that is more closely related to bushbabies and lemurs than to monkeys or apes

…the new species hail, this will mean that three new lorises will be added as threatened to some degree on the IUCN Red List of threatened species,” says Prof. Anna Nekaris. “With more than 40% of the world’s primates already threatened with extinction, this brings the toll even higher.” Outside of Borneo and the Philippines, four other slow loris species are known, living…

Vast water source discovered in Namibia

A newly discovered water source in Namibia could have a major impact on development in the driest country in sub-Saharan Africa

ources. However, there are concerns that unauthorized drilling could threaten the new supply. For the people of northern Namibia water is something that they either have too much of or too little. The 800,000 people who live in the area depend for their drinking water on a 40-year-old canal that brings the scarce resource across the border from Angola. A newly discovered water source in Namibia c…

Huge dome of freshwater has been discovered in the Arctic Ocean

A huge dome of freshwater that is developing in the western Arctic Ocean has been detected by British scientists. The bulge is some 8,000 cubic km in size and has risen by about 15 cm since 2002. The scientists think it may be the result of strong winds whipping up a great clockwise current in the northern polar region called the Beaufort Gyre. This would force the water together, raising sea sur…
