"(Our) scientists have identified additional leads that will help develop drugs to treat tuberculosis and other infections," revealed Swati Piramal, director, Nicholas Piramal.

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are relying on synthetic biology to produce sufficient amounts of a medicine based on an ancient Chinese herbal remedy, to protect over a million children who die each year from malaria.

Indian scientist Dr Sunil Kochhar along with a team from Imperial College London has found that probiotics, such as yoghurt drinks, containing live bacteria, can have a significant effect on the metabolism. Probiotics are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeasts, which play an important part in a person's metabolism. This study is the first of its kind to look into how probiotics change the biochemistry of bugs known as gut microbes.

An essential ingredient in chocolate is cocoa which is rich in flavonoids. By eating chocolate, catechin and epicatechin can reach the bloodstream where they can be transported around the body, helping to prevent oxidation so the body can stay healthier.
