Antimatter a great cancer killer

post from Science Blog - Think. It's not illegal yet. on 31 October 2006 11:06:31 PM. © Science Blog - Think. It's not illegal yet.

A pioneering experiment at CERN with potential future application in cancer therapy has produced its first results. Started in 2003, ACE (Antiproton Cell Experiment) is the first investigation of the biological effects of antiprotons. "We have taken the first step towards a novel treatment for cancer. The results show that antiprotons are four times more effective than protons at terminating live cells. Although it still has to be compared with other existing methods, it is a breakthrough in this area of investigation."

Bush Administration Interferes with Science...
Again.

post from The Scientific Activist on 31 October 2006 10:15:13 PM. © The Scientific Activist

Yesterday's Washington Post reported that several environmental groups have obtained strong evidence that Bush Administration political appointee and deputy assistant secretary of the interior for fish and wildlife and parks Julie MacDonald has actively censored scientific information and given elevated and inappropriate consideration to non-environmental concerns in order to prevent the adding of new species to the Endangered Species list. The Union of Concerned Scientists, one of the original organizations to make the revelation, has detailed information on the actions of MacDonald and other appointees at the Department of the Interior on its site. Here at ScienceBlogs.com, The Questionable Authority and Thoughts from Kansas put in their two cents on the issue as well.

The evidence is pretty damning, and the culpability reaches to the highest levels, but should anyone really be surprised? Hardly. This is just another item in the long list of political interference in science scandals that have characterized the current administration. Even before this story broke, it was already bad enough that someone with a background in engineering (as opposed to a biological science) was in a position to have such an influence over the scientific determination of whether a species should be considered endangered or not. Hmmm... this sounds a little too familiar.

Bacteria in Food Increasingly Dangerous

post from Curious Cat Science and Engineering Blog on 31 October 2006 09:29:00 PM. © Curious Cat Science and Engineering Blog

Food-borne bacteria evolving, becoming more dangerous by Elizabeth Weise:The evolution of ultra-dangerous versions of common food pathogens with which humans have coexisted for millennia. E. coli lives in the guts of most mammals. Almost all forms are harmless; some are actually necessary for health. It wasn’t until the 1970s that a deadly version ? O157:H7 [...]

MRSA Vaccine Shows Promise

post from Curious Cat Science and Engineering Blog on 31 October 2006 07:16:00 PM. © Curious Cat Science and Engineering Blog

Superbug vaccine ’shows promise’A vaccine to guard against hospital superbug MRSA is a step closer, according to scientists. US researchers have developed a vaccine that protected mice from four potentially deadly strains of MRSA.…The team looked for a vaccine using a technique called “reverse vaccinology”, which builds on recent genetics advances.It involved sifting through [...]
