An international group of researchers have found that the main substance found in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may help combat certain skin problems caused by allergic reactions, according to a journal published by Science.

Researchers have found what causes rosacea and an explanation for why antibiotics are an ineffective treatment. Although the triggers and symptoms are easy to identify, not until now has the real cause been understood.

A new classification system of financial services institutions (FSI) developed by researchers at the University of Nottingham, revealed that credit card and life insurance companies were among the least trusted organizations by the public in general.

In a new study, researchers show that Viagra (Sildenafil) may likely be effective in the treatment of patients with right-sided heart failure because only the hearts of these patients exhibit the target molecules that can be blocked by these types of drugs.

Recently, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created a synthetic polymer that doesn't burn, which is a giant breakthrough in the plastics industry.

At La Virgen del Campo in the Cameros Basin in northeast Spain, researchers found numerous scratches in the sandstone, indicating that certain dinosaurs could swim, which until now, has had inconclusive evidence.

Yesterday, researchers announced that they have decoded the first 1% of the human genetic code -- and this has already caused a need to rethink all that scientists think they know about it.

The discovery by British researchers of genes that indicate the possibility of several common diseases has led to a fear that insurance companies may use the information to charge unfairly high premiums.
