Dark Energy May Be Vacuum
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute have brought us one step closer to understanding what the universe is made of. The new data shows that vacuum energy is the most likely cause and the expansion history of the universe can be explained by simply adding this constant background of acceleration into the normal theory of gravity. Sitting May Increase Risk Of Disease
Researchers have found that standing during the day not only burns double the number of calories as sitting, but also has some long-lasting healthy benefits for the body. Jefferson Scientists Uncover More Evidence For Protein's Role In Arter
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College have begun to clarify the role of a protein -- and potential drug target -- in the process by which arteries re-clog after treatment. The process -- called restenosis -- is due to an unregulated growth and movement of cells in the vessel. Genomic Instability And Premature Aging
Premature aging syndromes often result from mutations in nuclear proteins involved in genomic integrity. Lack of an enzyme responsible for the maturation of prelamin A, also results in progeroid phenotypes in mice and humans. In Nature Medicine Online researchers at Karolinska Institutet and the University of Hong Kong describe this enzyme's importance for the stability of DNA. Personalized Interventions Key To Improving Colon Cancer Screening Rat
One of the best ways to encourage an individual to get screened for colorectal cancer is to use a personalized approach, according to new research. A new study shows that simple, personalized interventions that guide recipients through the screening process can significantly improve colorectal cancer screening rates in primary care practices. Chronic Kidney Disease Common In The United States
There is a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the United States, which has risen over the past decade. The overall prevalence of chronic kidney disease increased from 10 percent of the population during a period from 1988-1994 to 13 percent from 1999-2004. Obesity, diabetes, hypertension and an aging population contribute to the increase. Racehorses, Asthmatics, Meatpackers May Have Similar Etiology Of Airwa
Oklahoma State physiologists may have found a common link to problems suffered by athletes, horses and cold-air workers that could lead to progress in understanding development of asthma and explain why winter is "flu season."Specifically, their "data are the first to provide a specific mechanism for the exercise-induced open-window effect as a local pulmonary phenomenon."The research involved horses exercising while breathing below-freezing air. Results provide direction toward equine "heaves"progress. Researcher: Global Warming Not To Blame For Tsunami
The shock and awe resulting from the massive tsunami that hit Indian Ocean nations Dec. 26 has left many wondering what could have caused such a disaster and if there is anything humans can do to control or mitigate future events. Some quickly suggested that an increase in the frequency of natural disasters like the tsunami were a harbinger of what we have in store due to the increase of Earth's greenhouse gases resulting from the burning of fossil fuels.

Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Building Blocks Of Life Formed On Mars, Scientists Conclude
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and form the building blocks of all life on Earth. By analyzing organic material and minerals in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001, scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have shown for the first time that building blocks of life formed on Mars early in its history. Previously, scientists have thought that organic material in ALH 84001 was brought to Mars by meteorite impacts or more speculatively originated from ancient Martian microbes.
