Immature aging can be overturned by reactivating an enzyme that protects the tips of chromosomes, a research in mice evokes.
Men of science led by Ronald A. DePinho (above), a Harvard school of medicine professor of genetic science, say their study demonstrates for the 1st time a spectacular reversion of many facets of age-related degeneration in mice, a milestone in aging scientific discipline accomplished by engineering mice with a manageable telomerase gene.
Mice orchestrated to lack the enzyme, called telomerase, convert prematurely weak. But they recovered to wellness when the enzyme was replaced. The study, brought out online November 28 in Nature, clues that some conditions characterised by early aging could be handled by boosting telomerase activity.
This study can be the best option for normal human aging to be decelerated by reawakening the enzyme in cells where it has stopped working, says Ronald DePinho, a malignant neoplastic disease geneticist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, who chaired the new study. "This has implications for thinking about telomerase as a serious anti-aging intervention."

Antibiotics could treat heart failure
Antibiotic drugs could do more than just treat infections. Researches discovered that can also preclude injuries to the heart.
Researchers explicated that many heart conditions and heart attack patients experience something called a reperfusion trauma following their treatment.
"If you can imagine that the spring that's in your heart cell is cut up and damaged, obviously that heart muscle cell will not work very easily," Schulz said.
The head of study, Professor of paediatrics and pharmacology Rick Schulz, said he's aspirant that doxycycline will demonstrate to be a secure and cheap treatment for a number of a different number of heart conditions.
Heart failure kills tens of thousands of people in countries of South and Central America annually and anywhere 'tween 10 and 20 million people are considered to be contaminated by it.

Incredible and amazing future designs
The 2010 edition of the Electrolux Design Lab competition centers originative solutions for compact living. The 2010 brief demanded industrial design scholars to regard how people will prepare and store food, wash clothes, and do dishes in the homes of 2050, when 74%* of the global population are anticipated to live in an cityfied environment. This means we have to use space more efficiently in order to meat everyday needs. The finalists in this contest suggest ways to optimize future domestic space.
For example, the element "Modular Kitchen" combines cooking, refrigeration, air conditioning and lighting in one wall-mounted appliance. Multiple units and surfaces automatically work together through wireless smart networking.
The clean closet is essentially a closet that clean clothing. Textiles are scan for impurity and clean with molecular technology. This waterless concept replaces the laundry basket, washing machines and drying spaces. Todays methods of cold storage occupy a great deal of space. Conversely, the bio-robot-refrigerator has no need for doors or a draws.

Blackberry PlayBook vs iPad
iPad lacks so many things that I'm still confused why it's still ahead of competition. Don't get me wrong, I know it looks and it feels great, but how about functionality? If I'm paying a s-load of money for something, they better stick inside all the gimmics available. For some reason, Apple forgot to include important features like Flash support, USB support, Camera, Video output.
After seeing so many self-entitled iPad Killers, I found out that Blackberry PlayBook actually has a chance.
Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM), producer of the Blackberry platform, has released a video on YouTube showing that Blackbery's browser is faster than Mobile Safari, the browser integrated into Apple iPad tablet.
Initial results show that Blackberry PlayBook offers superior experience but must also consider the fact that the test is not independent. The following image will give you the exact details of BB PlayBook and iPad compared.
Blackberry Tablet playbook will have a 7-inch diagonal, two HD cameras (3MP and 5MP) and a dual-core processor at 1 GHz and will be available in the first term of next year.
Currently, the main player on the market is Apple iPad, followed by Samsung distant Galaxy Tab. RIM hopes that the new Blackberry PlayBook to gain the ground lost in recent years compared to competing platforms.
On BB website, they say this tablet is all about web without limits. It's great for games, media, apps. Full Adobe® Flash® 10.1 enabled.
Blackberry PlayBook also features 1080p HD video HDMI video output, Micro USB and Micro HDMI.

Stem Cell bandage May consequence in better Function coming after Heart Attack
Men of science from University of Cincinnati have discovered that applying a stem cell-infused bandage together with overexpression of a particular cell instruction particle promoted cell migration to damaged cardiac tissue coming after heart attack and ensued in ameliorated function in animal models.
The investigators also ascertained that function improved more systematic than when stem cells were directly put in heart tissue -- a therapy that's being analysed elsewhere.
"Following myocardial infarction, better known as heart attack, tissue becomes damaged and scarred, cardiomyocytes die and heart pump function is reduced," Wang says. "There are therapies being tested by other researchers where stem cells are injected directly into damaged heart muscle to see if contractile function can be restored."

Ok, this is funny. I know all you Apple fans out there will taste this one :)

NASA: 30-year-old Black Hole near outer space
Astronomers have discovered the youngest black hole that exists in our neighborhood space. This 30 years old black hole provides an unique opportunity to see this kind of celestial body and its development from an early age. According to the communique posted on the NASA site, the discovery was made at the Chandra Observatory.
This is one of the youngest black holes ever observed. Astronomers' knowledge about the universe is based almost entirely on electromagnetic radiation detected by telescopes.
This black hole could help scientists better understand how massive stars explode, how they create black holes or neutron stars, or how many such bodies exist in our galaxy.
The black hole is a remnant of the supernova SN 1979C and is located in the galaxy M100, about 50 million light years from Earth.
This finding is extremely important because it gives the scientific community the opportunity to gather information that can validate or on the contrary, invalidate existing theoretical models available at this moment.

Men of science discourage Body Scanners dute to cancer risks
Dr Michael Love said that the risk to get skin cancer is minimal, but statistically someone will get it. "No exposure to X-ray is considered beneficial. We know X-rays are hazardous but we have a situation at the airports where people are so eager to fly that they will risk their lives in this manner," he said.
The potential wellness risks posed by the scanners add to passengers and airline crews' interests about the devices, which have been nicknamed "naked" scanners because of the vivid image they give of a individual's body, privates and all. Biochemist John Sedat and his workfellows alleged in one open letter that most of the energy from these scanners is deported to the skin and underlying tissue. Approximately 315 "naked" scanners are presently used at 65 US airports, concording to the TSA.
