Mystified, Baylor University physician Donald Anderson and Harvard pathologist Timothy Springer decided to test the child's white cells to see how sticky they were. "There was absolutely no binding at all," says Anderson. A new disease had been discovered: leukocyte-adhesion deficiency. Unable to produce the CAMs that enable leukocytes to stick where they are needed, these rescue cells were sliding past Brooke's wounds like a convoy of ambulances with no brakes. "This child can't heal a paper cut," says Brooke's mother Bonnie. For now, her daughter's life remains a continuous battle against infection, though...
...similar dreams of manipulating stickiness in more commonplace ailments, including cancer. "Cellular-adhesion research isn't going to cure cancer, but it might stop metastasis," says Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientist Richard Hynes. At the La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation in California, genetic scientists have succeeded in inserting a CAM gene inside a tumor cell. Once the cell starts manufacturing patches of biological Velcro, it is essentially "glued in place. It becomes incapable of metastasizing," says Erkki Ruoslahti, president of the foundation. A second approach to controlling cancer is known as "walking on ice." Here the goal is to deny...

...find cable, the USA network games are the ones to watch because they have the most wonderful invention to grace modern sports: the helmet-cam. Yes, some of the players have little cameras in their helmets. On occasion, the little camera will get a great shot like the ground slapping a quarterback in the face on a sack...
