Ethical guidelines suggested for research that would put human stem cells in primates

Covering ship hulls with artificial shark skin could help ships sailing smoothly.

"But if people hear the one-hour version, they realize they haven...

'Cookbook recipes' would cure disease with nontoxic DNA delivery systems

Scientists studying the structure and interaction of negatively charged lipids and DNA molecules have created a "cookbook" for a class of nontoxic DNA delivery systems that will assist doctors and clinicians in the safe and effective delivery of genetic medicine. As reported in the Aug. 9 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers have now performed a careful...
