Small study offers proof of concept and support for wider research

The tiny drug-infused particles, researchers say, potentially offer a less toxic clinical alternative to standard chemotherapy delivered intravenously or through a catheter inserted into the bladder

Researchers use new test  to accurately identify more than half of 138 people with relatively early-stage colorectal, breast, lung, and ovarian cancers

The treatment is an exciting new approach in which a virus, similar to the common cold, but altered in the lab so that it is unable to cause disease, is used as a carrier for a gene and is injected into the eye

Researchers say their findings could advance the search for similar processes in mammals (including humans), which may lead to a better understanding of hunger, cravings, and ultimately weight gain and obesity

Finding in mice could lead to new therapies for damaged organs and cancer

Constant stuffy, drippy nose may not be from allergies

Among the factors driving the new study, say the researchers, is that cancer often strikes people who follow all the rules of healthy living

Once completed, yeast cells carrying a fully artificial genome—termed Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2.0, or Sc2.0—"will prove invaluable for both academic and industrial applications," says lead study author
