...brown fat to burn a significant number of calories,” said Kahn, who is also head of obesity and hormone action research at Harvard-affiliated Joslin Diabetes Center. Previously, other researchers had unsuccessfully looked for brown fat between the shoulder blades, where it is located in mice and in human babies, leading to the conclusion that brown fat disappeared as people age. It was widely believed to only remain in “extraordinary circumstances,” such as living in extreme Northern climates or having a tumor in one’s adrenal glands, according...

Fairy tales are defined by magic, which is why Kurt Scwhitters’ clever but often unimaginative book “Lucky Hans and Other Merz Fairy Tales,” newly translated by Jack Zipes, contains only two or three real “fairy tales.” The rest is a dark medley of fables, tall tales, parables, and even word games—all of them dark, most of them with unhappy...
...researchers used rodent models with three different kinds of glioblastoma and placed a window in the animals’ cranium so they could observe the brain tumor—which they labeled with a fluorescent reporter—while the animals were still alive. They found that the mice treated with the drug survived longer compared to controls given only saline, which mimicked what occurred in the clinical trial, said Rakesh K. Jain, director of the Steele Laboratory in the MGH Department of Radiation Oncology and a professor of oncology at Harvard Medical School. Yet surprisingly, the drug...
...versions of the drug and screened each one on prostate-cancer cells that had been engineered to be drug-resistant. In the end, two molecules - RD162 and MDV3100 - fit the experimental criteria, binding to the receptor site without stimulating cancer-cell growth. Both chemical compounds were then tested in mice. "They caused the tumors to shrink significantly," says Sawyers...

Mark Udall is now in Tester's old space, waiting. "It's just survival," says Udall's communications director, Tara Trujillo. "We've seen mice. The cockroaches do not survive here." Tester laughs the deep laugh of a guy who no longer has to work near dead cockroaches...
