POPSResearch Supports Anti Aging Natural Supplements Anti aging natural supplements are no longer considered to be a health food craze. Today, research has proven that while we are what we eat, our bodies need different types of nutritional support at different stages of our lives.

POPSVolcanic lightning may have sparked life on Earth In the classic Miller-Urey experiment, a mixture of gases and water that Miller thought were present on early Earth was heated and zapped with electricity to mimic lightning. This created five identifiable amino acids. Yet Miller tested three versions of his spark flask. One of the two lesser-know setups – the volcanic apparatus – created 22 amino acids that could be positively identified. The findings could also give clues to life on other planets. The conditions found in the volcanic spark flask could conceivably have once existed on Mars or Titan, and Bada is developing instruments that could detect tiny amounts of amino acids frozen beneath the surface of the Red Planet.

POPSMirror-Image Clues to Life's Origins From the source: The meteorites did this by providing building blocks with a slight preponderance of that handedness (known scientifically as chirality) that makes life possible. "We know that all amino acids start mirror-image the same, but in living things they have this handedness," said Ronald Breslow, a Columbia University researcher who published recently on the topic. "This change doesn't happen spontaneously, and we've never been able to reproduce it in the laboratory" under conditions similar to early Earth. "The answer to where it comes from looks increasingly like meteorites," he added, "from extraterrestrial bodies falling to Earth. It's a complex story, but we're beginning to understand it better."

POPSHow to Increase Your Sperm Production through Volume pills There are three main reasons why men nowadays have become obsessed in increasing how much sperm spurts out when they ejaculate. The first reason is mainly for ego. Most men think that a large amount of ejaculate proves to their partners that they are indeed manly and virile. Some also tend to think that satisfaction in sexual experiences is measured by the amount of ejaculation. Another reason is to enhance sexual gratification. This is applicable to those taking anti-depressants. Difficulty in achieving orgasm is a common side effect of such medications along with the decline in sex drive. Consequently, men under prescription anti-depressants are constantly searching for a safe and natural way of improving their desire for sex as well as enhance their orgasms. The third and last reason can be associated to fertility issues. Simply put, men wants to increase the volume of their ejaculation to help their partners to conceive.

POPSMIT Team Use Viruses to Build Nex-Gen Batteries Bio-battery technology could open up a whole new field of science with exotic new applications. The study was partly funded by the Army Research Office Institute of Collaborative Biotechnologies, and the Army Research Office Institute of Soldier Nanotechnologies, which suggests that the Army has some interest in this type of research. One can only imagine the strange and/or nefarious possibilities of fusing batteries into living organisms. However, Belcher diffuses any excitement over possible cyborg applications.

POPSPathologists Believe They Have Pinpointed Achilles Heel of HIV Sudhir Paul, Ph.D., pathology professor in the UT Medical School, said, “Unlike the changeable regions of its envelope, HIV needs at least one region that must remain constant to attach to cells. If this region changes, HIV cannot infect cells. Equally important, HIV does not want this constant region to provoke the body’s defense system. So, HIV uses the same constant cellular attachment site to silence B lymphocytes - the antibody producing cells. The result is that the body is fooled into making abundant antibodies to the changeable regions of HIV but not to its cellular attachment site. Immunologists call such regions superantigens. HIV’s cleverness is unmatched. No other virus uses this trick to evade the body’s defenses.”

POPSAchilles Heel Of HIV Found?
“Unlike the changeable regions of its envelope, HIV needs at least one region that must remain constant to attach to cells. If this region changes, HIV cannot infect cells.

HIV’s cleverness is unmatched. No other virus uses this trick to evade the body’s defenses.” Paul’s group has engineered antibodies with enzymatic activity, also known as abzymes, which can attack the Achilles heel of the virus in a precise way. “The abzymes recognize essentially all of the diverse HIV forms found across the world. This solves the problem of HIV changeability. The next step is to confirm our theory in huma
