Reversing Alzheimer’s gene ‘blockade’ can restore memory, other cognitive functions

By By Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | 01 Mar 2012

Neuroscientists have shown that an HDAC2 enzyme overproduced in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients creates a blockade that shuts off genes necessary to form new memories; by inhibiting that enzyme in mice, the researchers were able to reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms

Glitch may be behind “faster than light” effect: CERN

24 Feb 2012

In what might come as a major embarrassment for scientists who claimed that some particles may have the ability to travel faster than light, it is now suggested that this might have something to do with faulty cabling or faulty time keeping
