Astronomers Crunch Numbers, Universe Gets Bigger
An Ohio State University astronomer and his colleagues have determined that the Triangulum Galaxy, otherwise known as M33, is actually about 15 percent farther away from our galaxy than previously measured. This finding implies that the Hubble constant, a number that astronomers rely on to calculate a host of factors -- including the size and age of the universe -- could be significantly off the mark as well. Gene Testing Doesn't Increase Anxiety, Depression In Children Of Peopl
Adult children of people with Alzheimer's disease were satisfied and unharmed by the experience of genetic risk assessment, even when results suggested they might be at risk, according to new findings presented by Robert C. Green at the recent International Conference on the Prevention of Dementia, sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association. Green, a medical doctor and a professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, led the team that conducted the study.

Protein Stops P53 In Its Tracks In Cancer Cells
Overexpression of a protein known as HMGA1 has been associated with many types of cancer in humans. Previous studies have shown that HMGA1 decreases the ability of p53 to inhibit cell death by a process known as apoptosis; inhibition of p53-mediated apoptosis causes tumors to develop in both animals and humans. However, precisely how HMGA1 mediates its pro-tumorigenic effects on p53 have not been clearly established. How to Spot a Fake Rolex

Unlike gamma-ray bursts created by collapsing stars, "short"gamma-ray bursts - flashes of light that last less than two seconds - are thought to come from the merger of two neutron stars. For the first time astronomers have precisely located a short burst, and it appears to come from an old elliptical galaxy that should be home to many neutron stars. This lends strong support to the merger model, says Joshua Bloom of UC Berkeley. 8-Bit Comedy Goes Prime Time With Code MonkeysCartoon
