A group of archaeologists from the UK have unearthed an ancient skull that dates back from the Roman invasion, 2,000 years ago. Surprisingly, the head of the unlucky person it used to belong to was not buried along with the body, but that's not the oddest part. When she was attempting to clean the discovered sku... |

Here's a thought to keep you busy for a while, especially those of you who are rather “green”-oriented: what if there was no more need to kill animals in order to wear real leather clothes? No, I'm not talking about synthetic leather that looks so good as if it was real. Instead, what if your cl... |

The process of regenerating fingers would not benefit only injured soldiers or hurt civilians, but could also be a first step on the way of regenerating entire limbs or damaged parts of skin (in the case of scars), hearts and spinal cords. Some animals can regenerate their limbs naturally, like the salamanders (starf... |

This is a female record: the 15-year-old Dao Thi Lai from Vietnam has a 15-pound (7 kg) tumor. The huge tumor started to develop when she was just three and it has now covered a large part of her face and neck; soon, it could make her blind and block her air passages. Nevertheless, the girl does have a chance: a team... |

In May 2007, a baby mammoth found in the Russian permafrost represented the best preserved mammoth ever found (and even the best preserved prehistoric animal). The animal looked like it had just died, missing only its hair. The 37,000-year-old female specimen was baptized "Lyuba" after the wife of reindeer breeder an... |

Nature cannot do what a (large) piece of synthetic material can do. Moreover, natural large breasts drop with the age, while the synthetic balloons look like melons well after the menopause. Pamela Anderson imposed a standard in female breast size, firing the minds of many around the world. After she and a countless ... |

Broken feelings may not be repaired through engineering, but broken hearts can be. In fact, heart attack kills annually 50,000 people, only in US, and it is experienced by 550,000. A new research published in "Nature Medicine" and carried on at the University of Minnesota is the first ever to have built a beating hea... |

Mummies can go far beyond the era of the ancient pharaohs. Even to the dinosaur era. Researchers have just revealed the discovery of an amazingly preserved "dinosaur mummy", containing a lot of tissues and bones inside skin wrapping, including well preserved tendons and ligaments, which are seldom discovered nowadays... |

Breasts do not differ only in shape and size. It is much more complicated than that. The tissue of the female breast comprises a mixture of fatty and glandular tissues and also connective tissues, like collagen (support fibrous proteins), ligaments and blood vessels, but the proportion of every breast tissue is diff... |

Well, we know that healthy food and fresh unpolluted air in the rural areas are the secret of the strong health in the case of people living in the country, but this discovery goes deeper: women living in urban areas have even unhealthy denser breasts, fact that turns them more prone to developing breast cancer, as f... |

The steel scalpel is rapidly disappearing from the surgeons' arsenal of instruments. Laser now performs from cosmetic to brain surgery, but the technique remains mysterious - we know what it does, but we don't know why it does it. This is exactly the question to which a new research - published online in Ph... |

Nice breasts are a crucial 'ingredient' of femininity, but women play a heavy price for this: no matter if poorly-endowed or too generous, bouncing boobs are not really 'supported' by ordinary bras.A new research made at the University of Portsmouth in England found that while exercising, women�... |

The way you look is a combination of genetics, diet and sports. When all three are not right, the result is lousy. Giving up the habit of eating junk food and starting practicing sports is the nightmare of any couch potato. Here comes the salvation: some American doctors say a new technique called lipodissolve is a ... |

The last dinosaur died 65 million years ago. So, after so much time, all you expect to find are mineralized fossils of them, in other words just bones and teeth, as flesh rapidly rots. So you can imagine the surprise of the paleontologists when they found soft tissue in a 70 million-year-old fossil of Tyrannosaurus r... |

Phil Collins was very wrong saying "Two hearts beating just like one". We do not know how many die annually from a broken heart but at least 600,000 do it because of heart disease. But there are significant sex differences in adult humans regarding the heart's anatomy and functions. Similar differences have als... |

They can grow a piece of bone or a piece of skin, but with the latest technologies, it seems they can also grow new hearts, or at least pieces, for heart attack survivors, children born with heart malformations, or those with clogged or weak blood vessels.A team at the University of Michigan Medical School describes ... |

Humans and mammals possess two types of fatty tissue: white and brown. The white fat tissue is what we see as "fat", that influences body shape and most people are bothered about. The brown tissue, on the other hand, is a fat tissue whose role is that of burning fat, so that the energy from fats is released as heat i... |
