Antarctic Treaty Meeting moves to protect frozen continent from non-native species

...hears says, "Antarctica's remoteness and isolation offer science a unique opportunity to understand our world. Part of Antarctica's value as a natural laboratory lies in the fact that its communities of animals and plants consist of only a few species living in simple relationships. This makes the Antarcti...

'Prosthetic' retinal cells let blind mice see light

In an experiment that could offer a new pathway to restoring vision in people with inherited retinal degeneration, researchers have engineered cells in the eye to be light sensitive that were not before. Using a harmless virus, they introduced a gene for a light-sensitive protein int...

Radiotherapy advance points way to noninvasive brain cancer treatment
