...were in the embryonic stage, after in vitro fertilization. Once the mice were born, scientists injected massive amounts of malignant cells into the rodents. In each of the genetically altered mice, little or no blood flow was available to the tumor, and the tumors did not grow at their normal, aggressive rate - or they didn?t grow at all. While the technology in this study is new, the theory behind it is not. "The idea of starving tumors of their blood supply is one of the leading areas of research in cancer prevention and cures," says TIME science writer Mike...
...team, usually strong runners Baker (1st- 26:48.7) and Martin (2nd-26:49.4) led the way. Martin was recovering from being sick last week, and so he and Baker decided to run the race with a strategy that was different from their normal approach...
...that have been used to treat depression for decades," says TIME medical writer Christine Gorman. Promising initial results aside, there are some risks to the stimulator: One severely depressed test subject became manic for a short time after the initial implant; fortunately, the patient?s mood returned to a normal ? and happy ? state after doctors adjusted the electric input. Another potential problem: The implant could be abused by patients trying to lose weight; canine test subjects lost up to one third of their body weight using the stimulator, a percentage that would render an average-sized human clinically anorectic...

...participants had the same disease: ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTC) deficiency, which slows the liver's ability to metabolize nitrogen and releases deadly ammonia into the bloodstream. So Wilson's team harnessed the adenovirus (a cause of the common cold), neutralized harmful elements and used the virus to send in normal copies of the gene that was defective in Jesse...
