- Hubble finds multiple stellar 'baby booms' in a globular cluster
05-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Analysis of Hubble observations of the massive globular cluster NGC 2808 provides evidence that it has three generations of stars that formed early in the cluster's life. This is a major upset for conventional theories as astronomers have long thought that globular star clusters had a single "baby boom" of stars early in their lives and then settled down into a long, quiet middle age.

- Research finds music training 'tunes' human auditory system
03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
A Northwestern University study suggests Mom was right when she insisted you continue music lessons even after it was clear that a professional music career was not in your future. The study is the first to provide concrete evidence that music training significantly enhances the brainstem's sensitivity to speech sounds, a finding with broad implications because it applies to sound encoding skills involved not only in music but also in language processing.

- Eye-opening research provides important diagnostic tool for major childhood killer
11-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
The eye can provide a very reliable way of diagnosing cerebral malaria, researchers in Malawi have shown. By looking at the changes to the retina, doctors are able to determine whether an unconscious child is suffering from this severe form of malaria or another, unrelated illness, leading to the most appropriate treatment.

- NRL sensor to measure natural airglow in the upper atmosphere
11-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
The second of five Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager remote sensing instruments, developed by the Naval Research Laboratory, was launched on Nov. 4, 2006 on board the DMSP F-17 satellite. SSULI is the first operational instrument of its kind and provides a new technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from space. SSULI's measurements will provide scientific data supporting military and civil systems and will assist in predicting atmospheric drag effects on satellites and re-entry vehicles.

- sLRP1-alpha provides relief from neuropathic pain
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
Injury to peripheral nerves causes neuropathic pain. Normal pain relief therapies do not effectively provide relief from neuropathic pain. Further understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain is therefore essential to facilitate the development of new drugs and new research in rodents has provided evidence that a fragment of the protein LRP1 (sLRP1-alpha) attenuates neuropathic pain.

- New clinical trial results show how personalized medicine will alter treatment of genetic disorders
12-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the latest edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, Eric Hoffman, PhD, posits that the results of a clinical trial involving a new treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy provides a proof-of-principle for personalized molecular medicine. He writes that advances allowing for systemic delivery of such drugs and provide proof of no long term toxicity for recipients are necessary but will likely come in short order. Moving forward, FDA regulations will prove critical for appropriate labeling and marketing of such personalized treatments.

- Dragonfly's metabolic disease provides clues about human obesity
11-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
Parasite-infected dragonflies suffer the same metabolic disorders that have led to an epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes in humans, according to research to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. The discovery expands the known taxonomic breadth of metabolic disease and suggests that the study of microbes found in human intestines may provide a greater understanding of the root causes of human metabolic dysfunction.
