Watermelon Yields Viagra-Like Effects: ScientistsLUBBOCK, Texas -- A slice of cool, fresh watermelon is a juicy way to top off a Fourth of July cookout and one that researchers say has effects similar to Viagra—but don't necessarily expect it to keep the fireworks all night long.
How Does Aspartame Damage Your Brain?Consuming a lot of aspartame may inhibit the ability of enzymes in your brain to function normally, according to a new review by scientists from the University of Pretoria and the University of Limpopo.
Boffins may develop cancer-fighting beer Researchers in Germany say that a cancer-fighting substance found in hops could be enhanced to brew a special anti-cancer beer. The discovery could lead to healthier beers and food supplements.
A New Way to Control Weight?...Hamilton is not suggesting that anyone quit exercising. But he says his work shows that exercise alone won't get the job done.
Termite Guts May Yield Novel Enzymes For Better Biofuel ProductionTermites -- notorious for their voracious appetite for wood, rendering houses to dust and causing billions of dollars in damage per year -- may provide the biochemical means to a greener biofuel future.
Fuel's gold: Termites point way to new dawn of bio-energyA team of US scientists poring over the intestines of a tropical termite have a gut feeling that a breakthrough in the quest for cleaner, renewable petrol is in store.
Researchers successfully simulate photosynthesis and design a better leafUniversity of Illinois researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished the feat using a computer model that mimics the process of evolution.
Hungover? Don't down lots of coffee with acetaminophenIf your "cure" for a hangover involves popping lots of acetaminophen and chasing it with copious amounts of coffee, you could be harming your liver, says a U.S. study.
Indian doc develops enzyme that can destroy HIVEnzyme recognizes and removes HIV from human DNA. Still several years from actual use though.
Using evolution, scientists create a template for many new therapeutic agentsBy guiding an enzyme down a new evolutionary pathway, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has created a new form of an enzyme capable of producing a range of potential new therapeutic agents with anticancer and antibiotic properties.
Humoral Immune ResponseThe Humoral Immune Response (HIR) is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by secreted antibodies, produced in the cells of the B lymphocyte lineage (B cell).
Cheaper, Cleaner Ethanol from Biotech CornResearchers have genetically engineered transgenic corn plants that produce enzymes that can turn their leaves and stems into sugar by breaking down cellulose.
Asphalt-Munching Bacteria DiscoveredVehicles may crowd the asphalt of downtown Los Angeles freeways above ground, but below ground hundreds of newly discovered bacteria thrive by munching on heavy oil and natural asphalt.
5 ways to healthy Digestion: The Key to Good Health!
The Egyptians wrote about it way back in 5500 B.C., the Indians used it for their religious ceremonies in 1000 B.C. and so we ask, "Is honey the sweet nectar of health or a disaster waiting for its payback?".
The boy who's growing again with the help of a hamster A boy who suffers from a rare illness which stunts his growth has shot up two inches - with the help of hamsters. A pioneering treatment using the rodent's enzymes has given Oliver Moody his life back, according to his parents.

Pour on 'maggot juice' to help heal woundsBandages containing fluids secreted by maggots could help accelerate the body's healing process, research suggests.
Upcoming drug revolution takes a quantum leapBritish scientists have found that enzymes cheat time and space by quantum tunnelling - a much faster way of travelling than the classical way - but whether or not perplexing quantum theories can be applied to the biological world is still hotly debated.
Researchers find new clues to biochemistry of 'anti-aging'University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have found that sirtuins, a family of enzymes linked to a longer life span and healthier aging in humans, may orchestrate the activity of other enzymes involved in metabolic processes in the body.
