:: Hubble space telescope captures image of most distant star ever seenIcarus is a blue supergiant, a rare type of star that is larger than the Sun and far more luminous It might look like a tiny speck amid a bejewelled vista of the universe, but scientists say a pinprick of light in an image captured by the Hubble space telescope is the most distant individual star ever seen that is not a supernova. The team behind the find say the light was emitted from the star –

:: Hubble uses cosmic lens to discover most distant star ever observedAstronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have found the most distant star ever discovered. The hot blue star existed only 4.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This discovery provides new insight into the formation and evolution of stars in the early universe, the constituents of galaxy clusters and also on the nature of dark matter.

:: Human hydroxymethylbilane synthase: Molecular dynamics of the pyrrole chain elongation identifies step-specific residues that cause AIP [Medical Sciences]Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes the head-to-tail condensation of four molecules of porphobilinogen (PBG) to form the linear tetrapyrrole 1-hydroxymethylbilane (HMB). Mutations in human HMBS (hHMBS) cause acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by life-threatening neurovisceral attacks. Althou
:: Human impact on sea urchin abundanceSea urchin populations are more sensitive to human activities than previously believed, according to a half-century observational study. Researchers found that changing water temperature and algal blooms strongly affected sea urchin populations and even caused some abnormal development of their larvae. The research is published in the journal Ecological Indicators.

:: Human-like walking mechanics evolved before the genus HomoEver since scientists realized that humans evolved from a succession of primate ancestors, the public imagination has been focused on the inflection point when those ancestors switched from ape-like shuffling to walking upright as we do today. Scientists have long been focused on the question, too, because the answer is important to understanding how our ancestors lived, hunted and evolved.
:: Humans and others exposed to prenatal stress have high stress levels after birthVertebrate species, including humans, exposed to stress prenatally tend to have higher stress hormones after birth, according to a new study. While previous research has reported examples of maternal stress experience predicting offspring stress hormones in different species, this study is the first to empirically demonstrate the impact of prenatal stress on offspring stress hormone levels using d
