      For the first time, scientists have identified the activity of a metabolic enzyme found in the batteries of human skin cells declines with age, an advance that may lead to powerful anti-aging treatments.  A Newcastle University study, published online in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, has found that the activity of mitochondrial complex II significantly decreases in older skin.  This discovery brings experts a step closer to developing powerful anti-aging treatments and cosmetic products which may be tailored to counteract the decline in the enzyme's  activity levels, researchers said. The findings may also lead to a greater understanding of how other organs in the body age, which could pave the way for drug developments in a number of age-related diseases, including cancer.  As our bodies age, we see that the batteries in our cells run down, known as decreased bio-energy, and harmful free radicals increase," sai...

    CARNIVOROUS   (INSECTIVORES) PLANTS   FEED  ON  INSECTS   and  other   small    animals    to  producing  food    in  their    leaves  by  photosynthesis   The    nutrients   absorbed   from  trapped  insects    enable  carnivores   plants  to  thrive  in   acids,  boggy  soils   that  lack  essential  minerals  especially    nitrates , where  most   plants  could  not  survive .All   carnivores  plants   have  some  leaves   modified  as  traps  ;many  use  bright  colours     and  scented  nectar   to  attract  prey .There   are...

  IN  1998,THE  FIRST  component  of   the  International  space   station  (ISS)  were  launched  from  Russia  and   the  US.The  ISS  will  provide   a  unique  place  to  study    the  Earth  ,  and  to  see   ,how  the  sun;s violent   eruptions    affect  the   operation  of  the communications   satellites  ,  and  the weather  on  the   Earth .The  effect  of  gravity    inside  the  station    will  be   minuscule   and  scientists   will   be able     to  study  a  myriad  of  subtle    biological  ,physica...

        How  to reduce stress in life, usually techniques like meditation, yoga  come to mind. These are great techniques. But getting a new best friend can also have many stress relieving and health benefits. While human friends provide great social support and come with some  many benefits.But   what  about   furry friends: cats and dogs! Research shows that,  pets can provide excellent social support, stress relief, and other health benefits—perhaps more than people! Some   health benefits of pets  are - Improve Your Mood For those who love animals, it’s virtually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand. In addition to the social support, stress relief, and general health benefits that pets can bring, research supports the mood-enhancing benefits of pets. Control Blood Pressure Better Than Drugs ...

  EPIPHYTIC  AND  PARASITIC PLANTS  GROW  ON  OTHER LIVING  PLANTS.Typically  , epiphytic   plants  are  not  rooted  in  the  soil , instead  ,  they  live  above the  ground   level  on  the  stems  and  branches  of  other plants.Epiphytes    obtain  water  from  trapped  rain  water   and  from  moisture  in  the  air ,  and  minerals  from  organic  matter  that  has  accumulated on  the  surface   of  the plant  on which   they  are  growing .Like  other  green   plants ,  epiphytes  produce  their  food   by  photosynthesis. Epiphytes  include  tropical  orchids    and  bromel...

  THE  MILKY  WAY  IS  THE  NAME   GIVEN  TO   THE  FAINT  BAND  OF  LIGHT  that  stretches   across  the  night  sky . This  light   comes    from   stars  and nebulae in  our  galaxy,  known  as  the   Milky   way  Galaxy  or  simply   as  the  "Galaxy".The  Galaxy  is  shaped    like a  spiral ,   with  a  dense   central  bulge  that  is encircled   by  four  arms   spiraling    outwards   and  surrounded  by a  less  dense  halo.We  can  not  see the spiral  shape  because   the  Solar system  is  in  one  of  the  spiral...

  A  GALAXY  IS    A  HUGE   MASS    OF  STARS , nebulae,   and  interstellar    material .The  smallest    Galaxies    contain  about   100,000  stars ,  while  the  largest  contain  up  to   3,000   billion  stars . There  are  three   main  types   of  Galaxy , classified  according    to  their  shape ;elliptical  ,which    are  oval  shaped; spiral, which  have   arms  spiraling  outwards   from  a  central  bulge; and  irregular, which   have  no  obvious  shape .Some times ,  the   shape  of  a  galaxy   is  distorted  by  by  a  collision...

  THE  SOLAR  SYSTEM  consists   of  a  central   star  (the  sun) and  the  bodies that  orbit  it.These  bodies  include  nine  planets   and  their  61  moons ;asteroids ,comets,and  meteoroids.The  solar  system  also   contain  interplanetary    gas  and  dust.Most of  the  planets   fall  into  two  groups ;four  small   rocky   planets  near  the  sun (Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,)  and  four planets    further  out ,  the  gas  giants(Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus, and  Neptune.)Pluto  is  the  outermost  planet , except  when  it  passes  briefly   inside  Neptune's   orbit.Between  the rocky planets...
