Cancers Can Vanish Without Treatment, but How?...screening appears to be finding many small tumors that would not be a problem if they were left alone, undiscovered by screening. They were destined to stop growing on their own or shrink, or even, at least in the case of some breast cancers, disappear. More Articles
Drugs that Specifically Attack Cancer Stem CellsResearchers have discovered a way to identify drugs that can specifically attack and kill cancer stem cells, a finding that could lead to a new generation of anticancer medicines and a new strategy of treatment. More Articles

Heart Muscle Renewed Over Lifetime, Study FindsAbout 1 percent of the heart muscle cells are replaced every year at age 25, and that rate gradually falls to less than half a percent per year by age 75, concluded a team of researchers led by Dr. Jonas Frisen of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
Stem Cell Research Offers Hope for the DeafThe British researchers discovered that the new auditory cells produced from the fetal cells, performed identically to existing cells in developing ears. Researchers are also studying the use of embryonic and adult stem cells for their studies on restoring hearing loss.
Computers vs. BrainsBrains have long been compared to the most advanced existing technology — including, at one point, telephone switchboards.
States Consider Ways to Limit Stem Cell Research"I just think it's immoral to create life and destroy it in the name of science," said Georgia State Sen. Ralph Hudgens. "In Nazi Germany they did experiments with human beings. I don't want to see that done here."
The Soul of an Embryonic Stem CellIf they are otherwise to be destroyed, then does not the good that can be done to heal disease outweigh protecting a non-existent potential? Theologians must advise the bishops that there is a difference between metaphysical potentiality and this specific case. More Articles
Researchers Find Safer Way to Produce Stem Cell AlternativeThe researchers produced the cells by using strands of genetic material, instead of potentially dangerous genetically engineered viruses, to coax skin cells into a state that appears biologically identical to embryonic stem cells.
