...does, we might be better prepared than we ever were, thanks to a clever new strategy that scientists are testing for an improved way to treat influenza. Researchers at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have collaborated to test an antibody-based therapy for flu. Specifically, they tested antibodies that target core, conserved regions of the virus that do not mutate as readily as other parts. That's a little like attacking the virus's operating system instead of its software. Go after such primal programming...
...conference opponents No. 33 Illinois (6-2) and Binghamton (4-2).

Popular among bikers, rappers, and rebellious teenagers, the tattoo may become the identifying mark of a perhaps unlikely group—diabetics. Scientists at the Cambridge-based Draper laboratories are developing nanoparticle tattoo ink that changes color to indicate glucose levels in the skin. The researchers are aiming to test the ink on mice by the end of the month, said Heather Clark, a member of Draper’s biomedical engineering group. The small tattoos could replace the often painful finger-pricks that diabetics endure up to twelve times a day to monitor their blood glucose levels...
