Mass Vaccination Unnecessary In Event Of Large Bioterrorist U.S. Small
Mass vaccination would not be necessary in the event of a large-scale smallpox bioterrorist attack in the United States, according to researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Lung Disease Study Hope For Premature Babies
A Europe-wide trial involving premature babies is investigating whether the risk of chronic lung disease can be halved if they are given nitric oxide gas to breathe shortly after birth. Does Zinc Fight Prostate Cancer?
Scientists have known for decades that zinc may play a role in maintaining the health of the prostate, the walnut-size gland in males, located just behind the bladder. Now, studies led by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) geneticist Liping Huang are providing new details about how zinc in the foods we eat might keep prostate cancer cells from proliferating and spreading.

Parents know all too well the pain experienced by their children - and themselves - when the time comes for immunizations at the doctor's office. But a new MicroJet injector being developed by bioengineering students at the University of California, Berkeley, may help ease some of that dread by taking the needle - and the pain - out of the equation. Holiday Reading for Scientists
I’ve allowed a stack of books to accumulate on my desk over the last few weeks, some of them I’ve glanced through, others I’ve devoured over the course of a few days in snatched moments between writing, researching, blogging, and fixing web site servers. Some of them are inflammatory others are a bit of a [...] [Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." How To Braid Nanoropes

Challenges associated with long-duration spaceflight do not end with landing. Astronauts often suffer from balance problems that lead to dizziness and difficulty standing, walking and turning corners when they return to normal gravity. Researchers are developing techniques, using a treadmill and simulated balance disturbances, to help astronauts adapt to a new gravity environment. The techniques could also have benefits for Earth-bound populations such as the elderly. Bacterial Mimic Under Study As Cancer Vaccine May Also Help Protect Tu
A bacterial mimic under study as a cancer vaccine because it signals the immune system to attack may also help some tumors hide, researchers have found. Inside the body, the reagent -- CpG oligodeoxynucleotides or CpG-ODNs -- alerts the body's natural warning system to an invader.
