An enzyme known to be critical for the repair of damaged cells and the maintenance of cellular energy may be a useful target for new strategies to treat Huntington's disease and other disorders characterized by low cellular energy levels. A research team from the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease has discovered a novel inhibitor of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP1) and found that PARP1 inhibitors can protect HD-affected cells from damage in laboratory assays. Oliver Sacks on Earworms, Stevie Wonder and the View From Mescaline Mo
Famed neurologist riffs about music and how the brain experiences it. It's all here in a longer version of the interview from the October issue of Wiredmagazine. [Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma

Astronomers have completed the largest ever survey designed to find very distant clusters of galaxies. Named the Spitzer Adaptation of the Red-sequence Cluster Survey, "SpARCS" detects galaxy clusters using deep ground-based optical observations. SpARCS is designed to find clusters, snapped as they appeared long ago in time, when the universe was 6 billion years old or younger. Antibody To A Naturally-occurring Sugar Chain In Colon Inhibits Inflam
A collaboration led by the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that an antibody which binds to an unusual sugar molecule residing in the gut halts the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease and other intestinal inflammations. The antibody could prove to be a promising drug target for these common chronic intestinal disorders. Should Smokers Be Refused Surgery?

The scientists have already enabled seven ongoing pregnancies in a group of older women with a history of multiple failed IVF attempts. Recognition, Identification And Tracking Systems Under Development To
The development of fast and accurate computer algorithms for the automated recognition, identification, classification and tracking of targets of interest is underway. It is expected to have many applications such as chemical agent monitoring, weather and hurricanes tracking and monitoring and explosive detection at the battlefield. The project also aims to develop unmanned air vehicle sensor nodes and a wireless sensor network test bed for the Air Force.
