Such therapies will not, on their own, be able to rid the body of large tumors. So it is likely that oncologists will put together cocktails of treatments, each using a different strategy to outfox the cancer. In the future, traditional chemotherapy will be combined with other cell-killing treatments like the COX-2 inhibitors, drugs that are chemically related to pain-killers like ibuprofen and that appear to force cancer cells to self-destruct. Chemotherapy will also be used with treatments that aim simply to stop tumors from growing, such as the so-called antiangiogenic factors, relatively nontoxic compounds...

Just because HIV can outfox the immune system, however, doesn't mean it will always outmaneuver drug developers. Most drugs are very small molecules, much smaller than antibodies. Properly designed drugs might be able to infiltrate some of those crevices in HIV's outer walls. There's no guarantee that such an approach will work. But it's certainly easier to try when you have a picture in front of you showing you where to begin...
There's no mistaking Hollywood's sudden urge to outfox the mouse. Anastasia is the first in a salvo of all-animated features from three deep-pocketed Disney rivals: Fox, Warner Bros. and DreamWorks SKG. The next few years will see the biggest splurge of cartoon features ever. But after the exclamation point come the question marks. Are there ways to make popular animated films that don't slavishly follow the rules Walt and the boys made up in the 1930s? Are studios jumping on the toon trolley just as the form has shown signs of losing its commercial luster...
...shock victims who make it to the emergency room are revived only to die later. "It seems evolution never intended for someone to be resuscitated after shock," says John Harlan, head of hematology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Harlan and his colleagues hope to outfox evolution with a CAM-blocking drug that keeps white cells from sticking after shock. In a series of animal studies, the drug saved 75% from certain death...
