Body, mind and genes all play a role in influencing the perception of pain

Mar 11th 2010 | From The Economist print edition

Early detection is key to more effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cognitive impairment, and new research shows that a test developed at the University of Tennessee is more than 95 percent effective in detecting cognitive abnormalities associated with these diseases. The test, called CST -- for computerized self test -- was designed to be both effective and relatively simple for medical professionals to administer and for patients to take.

ASU scientist N.J. Tao and his colleagues at the Biodesign Institute have hit on a new, versatile method to significantly improve the detection of trace chemicals important in such areas as national security, human health and the environment.

Tao's team was able to detect and identify tiny particles of the explosive trinitrotoluene or TNT – each weighing less than a billionth of a gram – on the ridges and canals of a fingerprint.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have made a surprising discovery about the molecular basis underlying spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an often fatal neurodegenerative disease and the most common genetic cause of childhood mortality. The findings suggest that there may be a way to promote survival of neurons by helping a beneficial protein linger a little longer inside nerve cells.

Scientists have found evidence of a “catastrophic event” they believe was responsible for halting the birth of stars in a galaxy in the early Universe.

The researchers, led by Durham University’s Department of Physics, observed the massive galaxy as it would have appeared just three billion years after the Big Bang when the Universe was a quarter of its present age.

Last December 10th, the international scientific community’s gaze was fixed squarely on Stockholm, where 2009’s science Nobelists were collecting their medals. But that same day, six diplomats were disembarking a plane in Pyongyang, North Korea, on a less ballyhooed event. They had traveled to the communist country to talk scientific collaboration.
