Brad and Angelina Take Eldest Son to Super Bowl

Boston (DbTechNo) - Both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were at the Super Bowl last night and appeared to be as happy as ever. The couple have been rumored to be on their way to splitsville as of late, but one would never have guessed this by their actions last night at the game. An English paper printed an article a few weeks ago stating that the pair had already consulted lawyers and agreed on a 205 million dollar separation deal. They were seen kissing and hugging throughout the game, and appeared very happy together. The couple brought along their eldest son, eight-year-old Maddox to take in the game, won by the Saints 31 to 17.

Drug Cures Osteoporosis in Mice and Rats

Boston (DbTechNo) - A new drug has been used to cure osteoporosis in rats and mice, a breakthrough that could one day benefit human patients. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by brittle and weak bones which puts them at risk of fracture. The condition is often diagnosed in postmenopausal women, because of a reduction in hormones in the body which effects the strength of bones. The drug inhibits serotonin in the gut, a key factor present which is believed to be a major cause of osteoporosis. In the clinical trial mice and rats were given doses of the compound after being genetically altered to develop postmenopausal osteoporosis. The treatment reversed osteoporosis in some mice, and prevented it from even occuring in others. “If you break the bone, it looks like a normal bone,” said Dr. Gerard Karsenty of Columbia University Medical Center in New York. The study is published in the journal Nature Medicine. Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.  Read More →
