Image of GW Orionis, a triple star system with a mysterious gap in the dust rings that surround it. The UNLV astronomers hypothesize that there is a massive planet in space, which could be the first star ever discovered orbiting three stars. The left image, provided by the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array Telescope (ALMA), shows the ring structure of the disk, with the innermost ring separated from the rest of the disk. The observations in the right image show the shadow of the innermost ring on the rest of the disk. The UNLV astronomers used observations from ALMA to build a comprehensive model of the star system.

Are we on our way to finding a cure for Rett syndrome?

Researchers at the Hebrew University discovered through a new method that there are 30 drugs on the market that have the potential to find a cure for rheumatism, one of the rare and severe diseases that exists today that mainly affects girls. In a study published in "eLife", the researchers show how the recent genomic revolution can change the rules of the game in identifying drugs for incurable genetic diseases
