Scientists have engineered mosquitoes that resist malaria parasites with the assistance of anti-parasite molecules.

Image
  Anopheles mosquitoes that have been genetically engineered with the assistance of different anti-malaria molecules can be distinguished from other mosquitoes by the palps, which are as long as the proboscis, and by the presence of discrete blocks of black and white scales on the wings.     Anopheles mosquitoes which Perform at diverse stages of the malaria life cycle are powerfully impervious to the parasites that cause malaria according to a study by scientists at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Plasmodium parasites are the reason of malaria which affects humans and other mammals but can also infect certain mosquito species as well. The disease of malaria fever continues to be one of the world’s top public health threats, accounting for 200 million patients and 400,000 deaths every year mostly in children in South Africa.

Once the journey begun, we should keep this objective in mind without obsessing over it . Albert Einstein said that; ''A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell on the future.'' A

How to isolate DNA from human blood at home?

Image
  DNA extraction is an essential technique in molecular biology. Isolation and purification are important to determine the unique characteristics of DNA , including its size, shape and function. Isolation of high-molecular weight DNA has become very important  with the increasing demand for DNA fingerprinting, restriction fragment length polymorphism , construction of sequencing libraries and PCR analysis in research laboratories and industry. Principle: DNA extraction of DNA involves three main steps cell lysis ,protein separation and DNA purification.Cell lysis is usually performed by incubation of cells in buffer  having protease and detergent. Equipment required: Centrifugation for 15 ml faclon tubes Microcentrifuge for 1.5 ml tubes Adjustable micropipettes 1 ml and 200ml Reagents required:  TEN buffer  TE buffer  10 percent SDS  6M NaCl  Protinease -K solution 20 mg  Phenol -Choloroform -Isoamyylalcohol  Absolute Ethanol  75 percent Ethanol  Low TE buffer Precaution to be taken du

What are the hidden health benefits of green tea?

As Okinawans recovered from the destruction ,however, they  came to be some of the country's longest - living citizens. Okinawa's miracle diet : '' Okinawa Diet ''  is so often discussed around the world at panels on nutrition. Locals eat a wide variety of foods ,especially vegetables.Variety seems to be key. A study of Okinawa's centenarians showed that they ate 206 different foods, including spices , on a regular basis. They eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. At least seven types of fruits and vegetables are consumed by Okinawans on a daily basis. Grains are the foundation of their diet. Japanese people eat white

You really don’t know, how harmful antibiotics are for you?

  Antibiotics are medicines that should be considered as potential poisons due to their dangerous side effects .Due to lack of understanding individuals and society as a whole at risk.  A recent study and research from McCullough and colleagues shows a methodical review on public’s information and opinions about antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance happens when germ like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to fight the drugs designed to kill them. Global survey displays that in 2018 ,antimicrobial resistance killed more people than AIDS .Infectious produced by antibiotic resistant bacteria are among the leading reasons of death for people of all the ages.   If a person experiences a side effect secondary to an antibiotic, it can be slight and have no perceptible impression or it may lead to hospitalizations and even death. This is true that ''Antibiotic resistance is putting the achievement of modern medicine at risk.''      Dangerous side effects of anti
