Our tree-dwelling ancestors could also walk on two legs 3.6 mln yrs ago
Washington, March 20 (ANI): Experiments by a team of anthropologists have shown that fossil footprints made 3.6 million years ago are the earliest direct evidence of early tree-dwelling hominids using the kind of efficient, upright posture and gait now seen in modern humans.
More than three million years ago, the ancestors of modern humans were still [...]
Aerobic exercise can cut risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Washington, Sept 10 (ANI): Patients with a sedentary lifestyle who engage in routine physical activities lower their risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), say researchers from the University of Sydney.
The lower risk of problems associated with fatty liver was not contingent upon weight loss, but a direct result from the increased aerobic exercise, the [...]
Toxic substance helps birds ’see’ Earth’s magnetic field
Washington, July 10 (ANI): In a new research, scientists at the University of Illinois, US, have determined that a toxic molecule, ’superoxide’, known to damage cells and cause disease may also play a pivotal role in bird migration, as it allows them to ’see’ Earth’s magnetic field.
According to principal investigator Klaus Schulten, who holds the [...]

Epstein-Barr virus seems to play role in multiple sclerosis progression
Washington, March 3 (ANI): Scientists at the University at Buffalo and the University of Trieste, Italy, say that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes mononucleosis, may also be linked with the progression of multiple sclerosis, an incurable autoimmune disease that can cause major disability.
The researchers say that, in studies they have conducted, EBV appears to [...]

Scientists come up with most detailed picture of an organism’s evolutionary process
Washington, Jan 17 (ANI): New evidence from a study of yeast cells has resulted in the most detailed picture of an organism’s evolutionary process to date.
The evidence was found by a Texas A and M University chemical engineering professor, whose findings provide the first direct evidence of aspects, which up until now have remained mostly [...]
