		<description><![CDATA[A group at University of Cambridge released a study Wednesday detailing a mystery a century old, how did that roach get there? Lead Researchers, Walter Federle and Christofer Clemente, explain that the nemesis of modern motels has two pads on the feet which allow the legs to pull or push. This allows the buggers to skim [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us think of the heart as a highly sophisticated and durable pump. But another function of the heart is to secrete peptide hormones, which are small proteins that function as hormones. Multiple hormones are encoded by the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene that help to regulate blood pressure and volume. At the Experimental Biology 2008 conference in San Diego [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ten years ago if you had a car wreck and suffered deep lacerations the standard treatment would have been a tourniquet to prevent bleed out. While waiting to reach a hospital, the result of this treatment could have been loss of a limb or death.
