		<description><![CDATA[A review published in Acta Paediatrica has found that from 1996 to 2002 only 2 percent of 739 children drug trials had independent safety monitoring. Independent safety monitoring gives an unbiased review of the drugs side affects and can determine if a drug trial should be stopped due to unwanted and harmful results. This is particularly important [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main function of DNA is to encode the building blocks of proteins, and molecular biologists have become quite adept at cutting and pasting stretches of DNA to make nearly any protein they can envision. Unfortunately, small molecules, which are some of the most effective drugs, cannot usually be built so readily. Rather, synthetic organic chemists must [...]]]></description>
