...against cancer, and a goal hotly pursued by researchers around the world. Bendandi and his colleagues at Spain's Center for Applied Medical Research and the University of Navarre Hospital have gone farther than most. In a five-year-long study - its results were described as "remarkable" by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute which published the report last September - the Pamplona-based group demonstrated that a customized vaccine could extend, perhaps indefinitely, the cancer-free period for patients with follicular lymphoma. In the wake of that success, Bendandi is preparing another study, one with an even more ambitious...
...Harvard’s Instructional Computing Group (ICG). The nine-year-old Web site, which added an admissions-essay service in 2004, has screened 27,000 admissions essays and found 11 percent to contain at least one-quarter of un-original material, according to The Wall Street Journal...
...Lower East Side headquarters of the not-yet-three-year-old journal n+1 is perhaps not very different from many other rented Manhattan offices. It’s small and slightly unkempt.

A letter of praise for the magazine by novelist Don DeLillo is proudly tacked on to the wall. If the messiness represents the stereotypical traits of a modern bohemian intellectual, then the DeLillo letter is undoubtedly symbolic...
...believes that some of that partiality might actually increase with time, because more seasoned referees are more inclined to make calls based on their past experience. Boyko conducted the research with his two brothers, both former soccer referees. The study will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Sports Sciences, according to a Harvard press release. Though the study focuses on European soccer—well-known for its incredibly zealous fan-base—the researchers asserted the findings were applicable more generally. The brothers also concluded that referees exhibit biases even on neutral soil...
Vitamin supplements during pregnancy may be a silver bullet for health in developing nations, according to a Harvard study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers suggest that distributing multivitamins, such as B-complex, C, and E vitamins, to pregnant women could be a cost-effective way of reducing low infant birth weight, a significant risk factor for infant mortality and other afflictions like heart disease and diabetes. Building on earlier findings of improved birth outcomes for HIV-positive women, the study showed better outcomes for HIV-negative women taking multivitamins as well. The researchers found...
