Newly Discovered Iron-breathing Species Have Lived In Cold Isolation For Millions Of Years
A reservoir of briny liquid buried deep beneath an Antarctic glacier supports hardy microbes that have lived in isolation for millions of years, researchers report in the journal Science. The discovery of life is in a place where cold, darkness, and lack of oxygen would previously have led scientists to believe nothing could survive.

05:15Having hypoglycemic (low blood sugar level) episodes that are severe enough to require hospitalization are associated with a greater risk of dementia for older adults with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

16:25The Hong Kong flu pandemic was responsible for more than 700,000 deaths worldwide in the late 1960s, with major disease outbreaks in Europe in the winter of 1969-1970. A number of studies have been conducted to determine if prenatal exposure to the influenza virus may result in mental disorders that affect a small portion of the population, but no studies have explored the possible effects of prenatal exposure on the mean intelligence in the general population.
-
16:25Once thought to be only the realm of the blue-ringed octopus, researchers have now shown that all octopuses and cuttlefish, and some squid are venomous. The work indicates that they all share a common, ancient venomous ancestor and highlights new avenues for drug discovery.
-
16:25The team operating NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit is examining data received from Spirit in recent days to diagnose why the rover apparently rebooted its computer at least twice over the April 11-12 weekend.
-
16:25New research provides insight into how the brain can execute different actions in response to the same stimulus. The study suggests that information from single brain cells cannot be interpreted differently within a short time period, a finding that is important for understanding both normal cognition and psychiatric disorders.
-
16:25Researchers have cleared a safety hurdle in efforts to develop a gene therapy for a form of muscular dystrophy that disables patients by gradually weakening muscles near the hips and shoulders.
-
16:25A study of gene expression in chickens, frogs, pufferfish, mice and people has revealed surprising similarities in several key tissues. Researchers have shown that expression in tissues with a limited number of specialized cell types is strongly conserved, even between the mammalian and non-mammalian vertebrates.
-
16:25NASA satellite data and a new modeling approach could improve weather forecasting and save more lives when future cyclones develop.
-
16:25Heading into a period of the Martian year prone to major dust storms, the team operating NASA's twin Mars rovers is taking advantage of eye-in-the-sky weather reports. On April 21, Mars will be at the closest point to the sun in the planet's 23-month, elliptical orbit. One month later, the planet's equinox will mark the start of summer in Mars' southern hemisphere. This atmospheric-warming combination makes the coming weeks the most likely time of the Martian year for dust storms severe enough to minimize activities of the rovers.
-
16:25A first of its kind study examining the effects of methamphetamine use during pregnancy has found the drug appears to cause abnormal brain development in children. The research is published in the April 15, 2009, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
-
16:25The powerful Habsburg dynasty ruled Spain and its empire from 1516 to 1700. Gut when King Charles II died childless, the male line died out and the French Bourbon dynasty came to power in Spain. Scientists now provide genetic evidence to support historical evidence that frequent inbreeding within the dynasty was a major cause for the extinction of its male line.
-
16:25With eight basic medical facts in hand, doctors can now estimate the risk of bleeding for a patient having a heart attack. Using clinical variables, researchers have created a new method to estimate bleeding risk and help lessen the chances that heart attack patients will experience this common complication.
-
16:25An increasing number of studies show that elevated serum cholesterol levels might be part of the cause of Alzheimer disease, but a new review of studies says that, even so, the most successful class of cholesterol-lowering medicines will not stave off the condition.
-
06:00Researchers aim to enhance the quality of life of elderly and disabled persons by designing robotized solutions for intelligent homes.
-
06:00A protein called Mcl-1 plays a critical role in melanoma cell resistance to a form of apoptosis called anoikis, according to new research.
-
06:00A researcher has developed a course on learning and motivation strategies that actually increases the odds that struggling first-year students will graduate. Students in academic difficulty who took the "Learning and Motivation Strategies" course in their first quarter at Ohio State were about 45 percent more likely to graduate within six years than similar students who didn't take the class.
-
03:35Young adults who have been incarcerated appear more likely to have high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy, an enlarging of the heart muscle that is a common consequence of hypertension, according to a new report. They also appear less likely to have access to regular medical care than those who have not been incarcerated.
-
03:35Deficiency in vitamin D has been widely regarded as contributing to disease, but a review appearing in Autoimmunity Reviews explains that low levels of vitamin D in patients with autoimmune disease may be a result rather than a cause of disease. The article uses molecular and epidemiological evidence to explain how supplemental vitamin D -- a substance which is a secosteroid rather than a vitamin -- may actually exacerbate autoimmune disease.
-
03:35Drugs and radiotherapy given for cancer can cause unpleasant side effects such as nausea and vomiting, mouth sores, dermatitis, and menopausal symptoms. Around a third of patients with cancer use complementary therapies, including homeopathic medicines, to try to reduce these side effects. In a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, researchers examined recent evidence for the safety and effectiveness of homeopathic medicines used in this way.
-
03:35Psoriatic arthritis affects about 11 percent of patients with psoriasis. Anti-tumor necrosis factor ± (anti-TNF±) agents, which block signaling molecules that induce inflammation, improve the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Golimumab is a new human monoclonal antibody that works against TNF± and has been shown to be beneficial within two weeks of the first subcutaneous injection in a phase II rheumatoid arthritis trial.
-
03:35Scientists have demonstrated in mice that transplanted pancreatic precursor cells are protected from the immune system when encapsulated in polytetrafluorethylene. The study suggests a new approach to treating type 1 diabetes.
-
03:35Scientists have found that the growth factor known as TGF-B is essential to the health of blood vessels in the retina and that blocking it can cause retinal dysfunction. These findings may have an important impact on the prevention and treatment of diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
-
03:35Up to 80 percent of patients who have surgery complain of nausea and vomiting afterwards, but stimulating an acupoint in their wrists can help reduce these symptoms, finds a new evidence review.
-
03:35For people with urinary incontinence who have run out of options, an electrical device might help, according to a new review.
