Bacterial Cooperation As A Target For Anti-infectious Therapy
Resistance to antibiotics is spreading dangerously among bacteria, some of them being resistant to all known medicine. In a paper recently published in Ecology Letters, André and Godelle suggest a radically novel line of attack consists in disorganizing infections, instead of killing individual bacteria. They conclude that instead of facing billions of microscopic individuals the drug is only facing a reduced number of larger organisms (infections) with slower evolutionary rate. Study Shows Larger Babies Have Higher Risk Of Certain Cancers In Adult
Babies who weighed more at birth had higher rates of digestive and lymphatic cancers in adulthood, according to a new study published February 7, 2005 in the online edition of the International Journal of Cancer. [Obvious] Nicky Hilton ends marriage

Researchers Map 'Circuitry' Of Yeast Genes Using Technique That Could
Researchers at UCSD have invented a technique that organizes the genetic information contained in the 16 chromosomes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae into a wiring diagram resembling an electronic circuit board. An analogous diagram of the human genome, when developed, is expected to help in the discovery of the genetic basis of many diseases. New Method For Early Disease Diagnosis?
Scientists are working to establish a technique that would provide a new approach for detecting a number of genetic disorders found in infants and young children. Hazards Of Using Crib Bumper Pads Outweigh Their Benefits, Study Says
Although bumper pads are theoretically designed to prevent injury to a baby while in the crib or bassinet, the risk of accidental death or injury to an infant from using them outweighs their possible benefits, according to a new study by pediatric researchers. Remote-control Nanoparticles Deliver Drugs Directly Into Tumors
Scientists have devised remotely controlled nanoparticles that, when pulsed with an electromagnetic field, release drugs to attack tumors. With the ability to see the clumped particles, researchers asked the next question: "Can we talk back to them?"The answer is yes, the team found.
