Immune drug boosts lifespan : The Scientist

July,8th,2009 at 4:48 PM

A drug used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs and as an experimental cancer treatment in humans can significantly increase lifespan when given to adult mice, researchers have found. Mice that were administered the immunosuppressant rapamycin lived an average of 9-14% longer than mice that were not fed the drug, according to a paper published online in Nature today (July 8th).

Berkeley researcher Alex Zettl and colleagues created a physical memory cell composed of an iron nanoparticle that can be moved back and forth in a nanotube. The position of the iron particle represents the state of the bit, which leads to very dense and highly stabile memory arrays, resulting in very long lifetime: Link How stable is stable? Here’s a chart that shows typical storage lifetimes vs bit density for a variety of storage media. As you can see, his stuff beats rock!

A New (epigenetic) Cancer

May,11th,2009 at 11:16 PM

Researchers have discovered a new category of cancer caused by chromatin recognition gone awry. An aberrant protein that binds to activated DNA-winding proteins drives up gene expression leading to unchecked cell growth, according to a study published online yesterday (May 10) in Nature.
