...findings have applications beyond tumor detection in mice. Tung said that the knowledge could potentially be used for tumor characterization, to classify the tumors and determine the tumors' stages, since tumors behave differently at the different stages of their development...

Cloning farm animals from embryos is pretty easy; cattle breeders have been doing it for years. Cloning from full-grown mammals is more difficult, but in the two years since Dolly showed that it was possible, scientists have managed to clone other sheep, mice and even cows, starting with a variety of adult donor tissue. Last week Japanese scientists unveiled what may be the most painless way yet to clone a cow: they produced two healthy Holstein calves from their mother's milk...
...Friday in the journal Science was bound to catch attention. The work of researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara, the study revealed that removing or inactivating a gene called DAM in a certain strain of salmonella disabled the bacteria?s ability to cause disease in mice. The altered bacteria also went on to act like a vaccine, apparently activating the mouse?s immune system to make antibodies. The group?s research, says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman, underscores "a new push to see whether there is a design way around the bacteria problem...
