Drug Delivery System Using Nanoparticles And Lasers Developed
Researchers have developed a new way to deliver drugs into cancer cells by exposing them briefly to a non-harmful laser.

PET/CT Combination Can Highly Increase Detection Of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is currently the most common gastrointestinal malignancy. Recurrence and/or metastasis occurs in 30 to 50 percent of patients after surgery. Early diagnosis and accurate staging of postoperative recurrence and metastasis is crucial for prescribing an optimal, individualized treatment plan. Research performed in China by Dr. Chen has found that combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography can provide complete information about the location, nature and extent of lesions.

Genes Behind Animal Growth Discovered
Oysters could become the "soy of the sea"and crop yields could be increased further if USC research on the genetic roots of hybrid vigor is applied in farming and aquaculture. The worst case scenario if nothing is done is a collapse of traditional fisheries and a worldwide food crisis.

Growth Factors Given With Chemotherapy Associated With Increased Risk
Women with breast cancer who receive compounds that stimulate white blood cell production to help their bodies better tolerate chemotherapy are at an increased risk of developing a type of leukemia or a condition called myelodysplastic syndrome, according to a new study in the February 7, Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The authors note that the absolute risk of the conditions is very small, but that risk should still be taken into consideration when making treatment decisions.

Portions of Arctic coastline eroding, no end in sight, says new study
The northern coastline of Alaska midway between Point Barrow and Prudhoe Bay is eroding by up to one-third the length of a football field annually because of a "triple whammy" of declining sea ice, warming seawater and increased wave activity, according to new study.

Breast Cancer May Be 'Uniquely Sensitive' To Inhibitors Of PI3K Pathwa
Because up to 75 percent of breast cancer patients have an abnormality in a specific cell signaling pathway, drugs that target different molecules along that pathway may be especially effective for treating the disease, says a researcher from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Firefighters Keep From Broiling With the Rosenbauer Water-Atomizing No
To avoid getting cremated, firefighters opt for nozzles like the $600 Rosenbauer SelectFlow EN. The SelectFlow's powerful water bore can shoot up to 100 gallons per minute as much as 140 feet away.

Will Beetles Inherit The Earth? Evolutionary Study Reveals Their Long-
Most modern-day groups of beetles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs and have been diversifying ever since, says new research in Science. Beetles have displayed an exceptional ability to seize new ecological opportunities and develop a great range of life styles and feeding types.
