Nanoparticles for Delivery of Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer strikes one in six men. In 2007 alone, more than 200,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 25,000 men will die of the disease. As the Baby Boomer generation begins to turn 60, increasing numbers of men are in the highest-risk sector for the disease. Over the next decade, the number of new cases is expected to increase to more than 300,000 annually.

The molecule that Garen and Hu constructed, called an Icon, recognizes the receptor tissue factor (TF) found on cells lining the inner surface of blood vessels in tumors but not in normal tissues. The Icon binds to TF more strongly and specifically than a natural antibody. Because the Icon acts through the blood, it can reach metastatic tumors throughout the body, which is critical for effective cancer therapy.

Art of good health

A friend is very good in horticulture and gardening. He mentioned that it is best to water the plant next to the house twice a day with appropriate amount of water. during the interval the soil gradually dry up and there is relatively more air reaching te root of the plant.
True enough, the plants thrive well and there are plenty of large fruits.
Our physical body alos need regulation of food and the right amount of food.For example One large spoon of Honey in the morning before breakfast and a small amount such as one tea spoon of honey before sleep is really nice as an additional booster for health food.
For children( actually everybdy) mental stability and overal health well being actually benefit from periodic control and encouragement. For example periodic, egular enrichment of material, tools (toys),books, good food, mentally of psychological support, encouragement, strong unconditioned love given to children ( or children to parent/family)really works.
Just like care for the garden plants. My friend showed wisdom.

Global warming as big a threat as war

The United Nations is due to hold a conference on climate change in Bali in December.

Earlier this month, UN scientists delivered their starkest warning yet about global warming, saying fossil fuel pollution would raise temperatures this century, worsen floods, droughts and hurricanes, melt polar sea ice and damage the climate system for a thousand years to come.
