Stem Cells Created Without the Use of Embryos
The production of human embryonic-like stem cells from biopsies of the adult male testes may now provide simple and non-controversial access without the ethical and immunologic hurdles associated with using human embryonic stem cells. More...05 Nov 2008
Nanoparticles Heated by Radio Waves Kill Cells by Destroying Their DNA
A recent publication described the use of graphitic carbon-coated ferromagnetic cobalt nanoparticles to kill cells growing in tissue culture, which is the first step toward adapting the technique to destroy cancer cells in humans. More...04 Nov 2008
Integrated Genomic Study Uncovers Mutations Linked to Lung Cancer
Cancer researchers have integrated DNA sequencing, gene expression, and DNA copy number data in a large-scale genomic study of lung adenocarcinoma that calls attention to several important signaling pathways and suggests new molecular targets for treatment. More...04 Nov 2008
