Few Side Effects Found From Radiation Treatment Given After Prostate C
The largest single-institution study of its kind has found few complications in prostate cancer patients treated with radiotherapy after surgery to remove the prostate. Men in this study received radiotherapy after a prostate-specific antigen test following surgery indicated their cancer had recurred. Engineers Forge Greener Path To Iron Production
MIT engineers have demonstrated an eco-friendly way to make iron that eliminates the greenhouse gases usually associated with its production. Partner Abuse Leads To Wide Range Of Health Problems, Study Finds
Women abused by intimate partners suffer higher rates of a wide variety of doctor-diagnosed medical maladies compared to women who were never abused, according to a new study of more than 3,000 women. Many of these health problems are not commonly understood as being associated with violence, such as abdominal pain, chest pain, headaches, acid reflux, urinary tract infections and menstrual disorders. Humans And Chimps Differ At Level Of Gene Splicing
Researchers are closer to understanding why humans differ so greatly from chimpanzees in the way they look, behave, think and fight off disease, despite having genes that are nearly 99 percent identical. 'Universal' programmable two-qubit quantum processor created
Physicists have demonstrated the first "universal" programmable quantum information processor able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics -- the rules governing the submicroscopic world -- using two quantum bits (qubits) of information. The processor could be a module in a future quantum computer, which theoretically could solve some important problems that are intractable today. Viral Protein Influences Key Cell-signaling Pathway
New research shows that a protein produced by a cancer-causing virus influences a key signaling pathway in the immune cells that the virus infects. This stimulates the cells to divide, helping the virus spread through the body. The study, led by researchers at Ohio State University, examined the human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and a protein that it produces called p12. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on

Korean Women Protest Sexpo
It's not the sex they object to. It's the focus on straight males. In Sex Drive Daily. How Do Cells Sense And Respond To Messages? Major Signal Transduction
How cells sense and respond to chemical messages -- a process known as signal transduction -- is a fundamental force in biology, controlling key processes such as cell growth and immune response. Now researchers report a significant discovery in the field of signal transduction that could provide a new target for drugs that fight cancer, HIV and diseases.
