While RNA is an appealing drug target, small molecules that can actually affect its function have rarely been found. But now scientists have for the first time designed a series of small molecules that act against an RNA defect directly responsible for the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy.

An international research cruise off Japan detects radioactivity in sampled seawater and marine organisms, but well within safe levels. Read More... cruise      finds      fukushima      pollution      All     
Later this year debris from the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan should begin to wash up on US shores -- and one question many have asked is whether that will pose a radiation risk. The simple answer is, no. Read More... for      disaster      debris      arriving      japan      radiation      concerns      All     
Astronomers using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have, for the first time, discovered buckyballs in a solid form in space. Prior to this discovery, the microscopic carbon spheres had been found only in gas form in the cosmos. Read More... nasas      spitzer      finds      solid      buckyballs      space      All     
If you are looking for a particular object -- say a yellow pencil -- on a cluttered desk, how does your brain work to visually locate it? For the first time, neuroscientists have identified how different neural regions communicate to determine what to visually pay attention to and what to ignore. This finding is a major discovery for visual cognition and will guide future research into visual and Read More... neuroscientists      identify      brain      works      select      want      to      see      All     
Researchers have found that silencing a hormone receptor weakens the intestinal barrier, making the body more susceptible to cancer. Read More... stronger      intestinal      barrier      prevent      cancer      rest      body      study      suggests      All     
Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a new class of planet - a waterworld with a thick, steamy atmosphere. Read More... distant      waterworld      confirmed      All     
Evolutionary biologists have shed light on the early events leading to photosynthesis, the result of the sequencing of 70 million base pair nuclear genome of the one-celled alga Cyanophora. They consider this study the final piece of the puzzle to understand the origin of photosynthesis in eukaryotes. Read More... origin      photosynthesis      revealed      genome      analysis      living      fossil      sheds      light      evolution      plants      All     
A study of mothers and their young babies by neurologists has shown that mothers who suffer migraine headaches are more than twice as likely to have babies with colic than mothers without a history of migraines. Read More... babies      colic      linked      mothers      migraines      All     
On the surface, it's simple: when night falls, our bodies get sleepy. But behind the scenes, a series of complex molecular events, controlled by our genes, is hard at work to make us groggy. Now, research suggests that a newly identified gene known as insomniac may play a role in keeping us asleep. By cloning and testing this gene in fruit flies researchers say they have discovered an entirely ne Read More... gene      affecting      ability      sleep      discovered      fruit      flies      All

It's well known that the universe is changeable: even the stars that appear static and predictable every night are subject to change. A new image from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope shows planetary nebula Hen 3-1333. Planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets -- they actually represent the death throes of mid-sized stars like the sun. As they puff out their outer layers, large, irregular Read More... sheep      wolfrayets      clothing      image      planetary      nebula      hen      All

NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) was mated, or attached, to its Pegasus XL rocket Feb. 17, 2012 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in central California. The mission's launch is now scheduled for no earlier than March 21 to allow the launch vehicle team an additional week to complete necessary engineering reviews. NuSTAR will probe the hottest, densest and most energetic objects in Read More... nustar      mated      rocket      All
