Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of In Re: News Item titled "Nayar river is vanishing - a yatra reveals conservation goes beyond science and policy" appearing in ‘The Down To Earth’ dated 03.06.2025. The original application was registered suo-motu based on the news item titled "Nayar …
The European Union agreed to allow funding for human embryonic stem cell experiments after member states compromised on the way the research is financed. The decision comes a week after President George W.Bush angered the research community by vetoing an expansion in federal funding for stem cell science in the …
US and German scientists launched a two-year project to decipher the genetic code of the Neanderthal, a feat they hope will help deepen understanding of how modern humans' brins evolved. Neadderthals were a species that lived in Europe and western Asia from more than 200,000 years ago to about 30,000 …
The world remains in serious disarray over stem cells. The spotlight this week has been on the US, where Congress unfortunately failed to override the first veto of George W. Bush's presidency; legislation that would expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research is dead, at least until after the …
A maverick fertility expert has published evidence of an attempt to produce the world's first cloned human baby. Panos Zavos, a reproductive scientist, caused a storm in 2004 when he told a press conference in London he had cloned a human embryo from the skin cells of an infertile man …
U.S. and German scientists on Thursday launched a two-year project to decipher Neanderthals' genetic code, a feat that they hope will help deepen understanding of how modern humans' brains evolved. Neanderthals were a species of the Homo genus who lived in Europe and western Asia from more than 200,000 years …
George Bush was poised today to overrule senior Republicans, along with the vast majority of Americans, by using his presidential veto for the first time to defeat a bill on stem cell research. The bill would expand US government funding to include embryos which did not exist prior to August …
President George W. Bush renewed his threat to use his first veto on legislation set to be approved by the Senate that would expand federally funded research using embryonic stem cells. The looming showdown pits Bush and those who equate the research with the destruction of human life against many …
The U.S. Senate is expected to approve a measure to broaden federally funded research on embryonic stem cells. But some government officials and scientists say the strict limits imposed by the Bush administration are only part of what's hindering stem-cell research. Another problem: several broad patents held by a University …
The US Senate approved legislation to expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, clearing the way for President George W. Bush to use his veto power for the first time since he took office more than five years ago. Mr Bush has threatened several times in the past to …
scientists have known that bacteria possess the ability to sense minute changes in their environment. But they didn't know how micro-organisms did this. Researchers at Cornell University, usa, say they have found the answer
a us research team has discovered that a region of the brain known for its role in learning and memory also serves as the location of sleep regulation in fruit flies. The study, published in Nature , may lend credence to the idea that sleep helps the brain consolidate learning …
Surely chunks of solid earth on which we stand cannot drift easily about the surface of a water body. But floating islands do indeed exist on six of the seven continents and sometimes in the oceans between them. These islands are kept buoyant by the light spongy tissues of certain …
a body representing the world's leading science academies have issued yet another appeal, albeit veiled, warning against teaching an obscurantist theory about the origin of life
Australian scientists say they've solved one of the DNA mysteries surrounding the way in which cells divide and replicate themselves. For more than 20 years scientists have tried to understand the final step in the copying of DNA in cells that are about to divide.A team of scientists led by …
Humans may have split from chimpanzees more recently than believed, says a US study. Further, the split might not have been achieved at one stroke but over almost a million years, claims the study, leading to the controversial theory that our two sets of ancestors may have interbred thousands of …
Scientists have found a way to make the brain reverse the damage it suffers after a stroke, raising hopes for treatment able to exploit the body's ability to heal itself. Their experiments used rats whose brains had been starved of oxygen to simulate the effects of a stroke. Strokes kill …
Stem cells taken from mouse embryos have helped paralysed rats move again, US researchers said. The study was the best evidence so far that controversial embryonic stem cells might be used to treat people with spinal cord and other traumatic injuries, the researchers said. "This study provides a
A gene named after the mythical Celtic land of the ever young could help explain how to reprogramme adult cells into embryonic stem cells to treat diseases, researchers said. They discovered that the gene called Nanog helped to transform adult mouse cells into embryonic stem cells after cell fusion
