New Treatment Discovered Causes Cancer to Self-Destruct, No Damage to Healthy Cells
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have discovered the first compound that directly makes cancer cells commit suicide while sparing healthy cells. The new treatment approach, described in today’s issue of Cancer Cell, was directed against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells but may also have potential for attacking other types of cancers. “We’re hopeful that the targeted compounds we’re developing will prove … Continue reading
Finally! Scientists Discover a ‘Switch’ to Reduce Aging
The miracle has happened at last – scientists have found a way to prevent aging. A group of American scientists from the University of Case Western Reserve claim that a group of proteins called KLFs, which is present in worms and mammals, as well as humans, regulates gene activity and its concentration can affect aging. The molecular mechanism responsible for … Continue reading

Scientist Reveals Unexpected Strange Finding About Jupiter
The Current State of JUNO The lead scientist, Dr. Scott Bolton, admits essentially that Jupiter is not a gas giant, stating ” We’re seeing a lot of our ideas were incorrect and maybe naive.” (1) Scientists are puzzled to see that the familiar striped cloud layers ‘may be’ only skin deep. These zones and belts either don’t exist or the … Continue reading
Planet Nine Might Be Our Solar System’s Missing ‘Super Earth’
Planet Nine is out there, and astronomers are determined to find it, according to a new statement from NASA. In fact, mounting evidence suggests it’s hard to imagine our solar system without the unseen world. The hypothetical planet is believed to be about 10 times more massive than Earth and located in the dark, outer reaches of the solar system, … Continue reading
Asteroid 2012 TC4 Could Collide With Our Moon
A NEW tracker of the asteroid which is set to whizz past Earth on October 12 shows just how close it could come to a collision with the moon. Asteroid 2012 TC4 will shoot past Earth on October 12 at a distance of just 31,000 miles – around an eighth of the distance between the Earth and the moon. However, … Continue reading
Newly Discovered Comet 01-ASAS-SN Unexpectedly Brightens
There are countless chunks of icy debris swirling around the Oort cloud on the outskirts of the Solar System. But it’s always exciting when one of those comes in our direction for a rare flyby. In July, astronomers discovered a brand new comet zooming through the inner regions of our space bubble. Since that time it’s been steadily getting brighter, … Continue reading

Study Reveals New Details About the ‘Floating Moon’ of Uranus
Uranus’ moon Cressida would float if placed in water, according to new research, which has recorded the first measurements of the satellite’s mass and density.TrendsSpace exploration Robert Chancia of the University of Idaho and colleagues calculated Cressida’s density and mass using variations in an inner narrow ring of the planet as Uranus passed in front of a distant star. The … Continue reading
