Business Description
In a remote region of Papua New Guinea, the narrative of a tribe known as the Fore people takes a turn that is both tragic and fascinating. Their practice of cannibalism, a ritual act that involved consuming human brains, introduced them to a deadly brain disease known as kuru. But in a twist, nature seems to have favored some members of the tribe, as they now carry a gene that appears to not only protect against kuru but other prion diseases, like mad cow. This development offers researchers a new vista into understanding these fatal brain conditions and possibly unlocking treatments for them.Visit now : https://tourtravelsvibes.blogspot.com
