Cutting-edge technology that "captures"polluting carbon dioxide and stores it permanently inside rocks will be developed at a new £1.1M research center at the University of Nottingham. Biomedical Engineers Find Chink In Bacteria's Armor
Biomedical researchers may have discovered the path toward developing better drugs capable of defeating so-called "superbugs,"bacteria that have developed resistance to common antibiotics. Ulysses Embarks On Third Set Of Polar Passes
The joint ESA-NASA Ulysses mission has reached another important milestone on its epic out-of-ecliptic journey: the start of the third passage over the Sun's south pole. Launched in 1990, the European-built spacecraft is engaged in the exploration of the heliosphere, the bubble in space blown out by the solar wind.

Mice containing a mutated human gene implicated in autism exhibit the poor social skills but increased intelligence akin to the title character's traits in the movie "Rain Man,"researchers have found. The researchers'study also shows how the mutation affects nerve function and provides an animal model that might allow further study of the debilitating condition. Gene Therapy Inhibits Epilepsy In Animals
For the first time, researchers have inhibited the development of epilepsy after a brain insult in animals. By using gene therapy to modify signaling pathways in the brain, neurology researchers found that they could significantly reduce the development of epileptic seizures in rats. "We have shown that there is a window to intervene after a brain insult to reduce the risk that epilepsy will develop,"said one of the lead researchers. Link Between Huntington's And Abnormal Cholesterol Levels Discovered I
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a protein interaction that may explain how the deadly Huntington's disease affects the brain. The findings, published in and featured on the cover of the current issue of Human Molecular Genetics, show how the mutated Huntington's protein interacts with another protein to cause dramatic accumulation of cholesterol in the brain. NIH Funds Are for Research
