How to tell if a hepatitis-C-virus-infected patient will respond to therapy
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes hepatitis and increased risk of developing liver cancer. Current treatments are expensive, have severe side effects, and fail in about half the patients treated.   view more (2008-12-23)

Using math to understand hep. C: Patterns paint picture of who will respond to treatment
Genetic patterns are like the tea leaves in the bottom of a cup for predicting which patients are likely to respond to medical therapy for life-threatening viruses such as hepatitis C, Saint Louis University researchers have discovered.   view more (2008-12-23)

Scientists probe Antarctic glaciers for clues to past and future sea level
Scientists from the U.S., U.K. and Australia have teamed up to explore two of the last uncharted regions of Earth, the Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins, immense ice-buried lowlands in Antarctica with a combined area the size of Mexico.   view more (2008-10-28)

Clue to genetic cause of fatal birth defect
A novel enzyme may play a major role in anencephaly, offering hope for a genetic test or even therapy for the rare fatal birth defect in which the brain fails to develop, according to a study from researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine.   view more (2008-10-10)

Stevens strengthens Dominican Republic's Early Warning System for Inundations
Stevens Institute of Technology's Center for Maritime Systems began a project to strengthen the Early Warning System (EWS) for Inundations in the Dominican Republic.   view more (2008-09-26)

Bladder cancer detected via amplified gene in cells found in urine
Counting the copies of a specific gene in cells gathered from a urine sample may provide a simple, noninvasive way to detect bladder cancer, a team led by researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2008-09-24)

Tiny molecule helps control blood-vessel development, researchers find
The development and repair of heart tissue and blood vessels is intimately tied to a tiny piece of ribonucleic acid (RNA) that is found nowhere else in the body, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2008-08-13)

Scientists solve 30-year-old aurora borealis mystery
UCLA space scientists and colleagues have identified the mechanism that triggers substorms in space; wreaks havoc on satellites, power grids and communications systems; and leads to the explosive release of energy that causes the spectacular brightening of the aurora borealis, also known as the... view more (2008-07-25)

Northern lights glimmer with unexpected trait
An international team of scientists has detected that some of the glow of Earth's aurora is polarized, an unexpected state for such emissions.   view more (2008-04-28)

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announces positive early results for phase 2 clinical trial of VX-770
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced today that VX-770, an oral drug in development that targets a basic defect in CF, showed promising results in an ongoing Phase 2a clinical trial for patients who carry the G551D mutation of CF. The drug is being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals... view more (2008-03-28)

Aurora Borealis breaks new grounds - and old ice
It can crush ice sideways and stay precisely on station to an accuracy of a metre. It can drill a hole 1,000 metres deep into the seabed while floating above 5,000 metres of ocean and it can generate 55 megawatts of power. So far, Aurora Borealis is the most unusual ship that has never been built,... view more (2007-12-03)

Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory report they have captured the first images of a collision between a comet and a solar hurricane.   view more (2007-10-03)

NASA satellite sees solar hurricane detach comet tail
A NASA satellite has captured the first images of a collision between a comet and a solar hurricane. It is the first time scientists have witnessed such an event on another cosmic body.   view more (2007-10-02)

Cluster and Double Star uncover more on bright aurorae
Cluster data has helped provide scientists with a new view of magnetospheric processes, challenging existing theories about magnetic substorms that cause aurorae and perturbations in GPS signals.   view more (2007-09-12)

More prostate cancer screening has little effect on detection of aggressive cancer
More prostate cancers were detected among men who were screened every two years than men screened every four years, according to a study published online August 28 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2007-08-29)

Disease-free mosquito bred to disease-carrier can have all disease-free progeny
A decade ago, scientists announced the ability to introduce foreign genes into the mosquito genome. A year ago, scientists announced the successful use of an artificial gene that prevented a virus from replicating within mosquitoes.   view more (2007-07-18)

Search for the water of life -- UCL astronomers find water on extra-solar planet
Researchers at UCL (University College London) are part of an international team which has discovered water on an extra-solar planet for the first time.   view more (2007-07-12)

Researchers shed light on shrinking of chromosomes
A human cell contains an enormous 1.8 metres of DNA partitioned into 46 chromosomes.   view more (2007-06-12)

Pre-treatment blood test could guide lung cancer therapy
A multi-center team, led by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators, has discovered a "signature" of proteins in the blood that predicts which non-small-cell lung cancer patients will live longer when they are treated with certain targeted cancer therapies.   view more (2007-06-06)

European meeting in Athens fuels future space exploration missions to Mars, Moon
A European Science Foundation (ESF)-led workshop sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA) has enabled 88 scientists from 11 European countries to agree on science goals for future Europe's planetary exploration programme; providing the continent with an ambitious roadmap to examine Mars and the... view more (2007-06-01)

Aurora Space Exploration Programme's proposal mulls take off in May
Scientists working with the European Science Foundation (ESF) are putting the finishing touches to an ambitious programme of research for the exploration of the Moon and Mars. They expect to publish their proposals in May.   view more (2007-04-05)

Clemson rocket launches test Alaskan auroras
It may have been 40 degrees below zero at the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska, but aurora and weather came together one recent winter night in a perfect match for Clemson University researchers and students who launched four rockets to study heat in the upper atmosphere.   view more (2007-03-19)
