Garlic Helps Protect Our DNA
Mutagens damage DNA. Consequently, antimutagens have to repair these damages. As the effects on DNA differ, the ways of reparation also vary. However, the mechanism of the activity of some antimutagens has not been found yet. A team headed by Professor G.D. Zasukhina at N.I. Vavilov Institute of General Genetics (http://www.vigg.ru/vigg-en.htm),... view more... (2002-06-07)

Herbal alternative to farmyard antibiotics
Research at the University of Leeds into herbal remedies in the farmyard could soon see pigswill garnished with garlic and cows chewing on cinnamon-flavoured cud. With an EU ban on antibiotic growth promoters in animal feed from 2006, alternatives need to be found urgently. The use of plant extracts, once dismissed as quack science, is attracting... view more... (2004-01-26)
Mystery Of Sterility Of The Garlic Plant Solved By Hebrw University Researchers
Restoration of fertility to the now-sterile garlic plant has been accomplished by Israeli researchers, thus opening the way to wide-ranging scientific research that could lead to improved yields and quality. view more (2004-09-02)
Dietary modifications may not benefit cancer patients
One study, a meta-analysis of 59 trials, found little evidence that diet is associated with survival or prognosis. The other study suggests that neither use of garlic nor vitamin supplements delays the progression of precancerous gastric lesions to cancer. view more (2006-07-19)
Invasive species harms native hardwoods by killing soil fungus
An invasive weed that has spread across much of the U.S. harms native maples, ashes, and other hardwood trees by releasing chemicals harmful to a soil fungus the trees depend on for growth and survival. view more (2006-04-26)
Garlic Compound Effective Against Killer MRSA 'Superbugs' - New Evidence
A compound extracted from garlic is effective against even the most antibiotic-resistant strains of MRSA, the killer 'hospital superbug', and can cure patients with MRSA-infected wounds within weeks, according to new research by microbiologist Dr Ron Cutler of the University of East London (UEL). In a paper to be published in the New Year, Dr... view more... (2003-12-22)

Invasive plant outcompeted by its native ancestors
Invasive alien species are one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. Part of their success may be due to rapid evolutionary changes when invaders adapt to the novel conditions in their invaded habitats. Invasive plants, in particular, are believed to double-profit from a loss of their natural enemies and subsequent evolution of less... view more... (2004-03-18)
