(Credit: CBS) Scientists in England say they have identified the gene that is responsible for cancer's spread through the body - raising the possibility of a "one-size-fits-all" cure for the disease by developing a drug that switches off the gene. Most deaths from cancer result from its...

I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this. 'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This...

Demonstrators march in Vienna, Austria, as part of the 18th International AIDS Conference on July 20, 2010. Researchers in Germany are reporting that they may have cured a man of HIV infection. If true, that would represent a scientific advance, but not necessarily a treatment advance, said...

In a first for stem-cell technology, researchers have produced mice with two fathers. The mice, developed at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, contain no maternal DNA. Instead, their genomes are made up of contributions from two male mice. The technology could eventually be used to breed...
