Why cloning could wipe out species
Cloning on a grand scale could spell the end of species as they become progressively nastier, warn researchers at the University of Sussex. Evolutionary biologist Dr Joel Peck has produced a mathematical model that suggests that asexual reproduction -in which organisms are reproduced from a single... view more (2004-04-26)

Carnegie Mellon MRI technology that non-invasively locates, quantifies specific cells in the body
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) isn't just for capturing detailed images of the body's anatomy.

Ethanol injection helps manage bone metastasis in thyroid cancer patients
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI)-an injection of ethanol (alcohol) through the skin directly into a bone tumor to kill cancer cells-may be a valuable ancillary treatment for thyroid cancer patients whose cancer has spread to the bone. Japanese researchers announced these findings during the... view more (2007-06-04)

Scientific advance establishes ‘proof of principle’ that prion diseases might be prevented using monoclonal antibody technology
UK scientists have made a major scientific advance by establishing proof of principle that the development of prion disease can be prevented in mice using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The work lays the foundation for further research to explore the potential of mAbs to treat specific prion... view more (2003-03-03)

New standards could cut number of malnourished children on feeding programs
