New Antibody offers Cancer Treatment: Stanford scientists discovered that cancer cells give off the CD47 protein that tells other cells not to eat them. By having a modified antibody attack cells exuding this protein the cancer was effective in mice. Clinical trials start in the UK soon.
A lovely Sunset: Just a nice sunset.
Gene Activity Test for prescribing Antibiotics: By testing the response of 18 genes, scientists have been able to determine if the subject is affected by a virus or bacteria. If it is bacteria then antibiotics can be prescribed. The test also would help determine the virus. The difficult step now is to reduce the several day test to a shorter timeframe.
Animal Skull in Heavily Salt Water: A calming gif of waves lapping on the shore as a salt encrusted skull sits there.
HERPES virus blasts into cells: With a pressure eight times more that a car tire, the herpes virus blasts its DNA into healthy cells. This discovery, if found to be universal for viruses to spread, can lead to a way to prevent this activity or even cause the virus to activate prematurely. Hopefully with no result like the head exploding scene from the classic Canadian sci-fi film by David Cronenburg, Scanners.
Snow falling by a Waterfall: A nice gif.
Sleepy puppy and kitten: Awwwww.
