		<description><![CDATA[Researchers from the University of Tokyo have announced they have successfully grown kidneys and pancreas in mice missing the ability to grow their own said organs. According to Japan Today, the researchers injected embryonic stem cells from healthy mice into eggs of genetically engineered mice that do not grow kidneys and pancreases three days after fertilization and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investigators at Saint Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital have announced new research which has advanced the understanding of how cells undergo Apoptosis. Apoptosis is intentional programmed cell death and is believed to be one of the main reasons for the existence of cancer which hijacks apoptosis and prevents it from occurring. A report on this work can be found in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A group of scientists from Cardiff University, University of London, and Max Planck Institute for Ornithology have reported in PLoS ONE, for the first time, that when birds eat small invertebrates contaminated with environmental pollutants, significant changes occur in both the bird&#8217;s behavior and their brain. Surprisingly, male European starlings that have been exposed to higher levels of natural and synthetic estrogen, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Julie Steenhuysen (Reuters) reported on a recent study published in PLoS Genetics which found that genes that helped early humans adapt to cold climates may be driving metabolism-related diseases such as obesity or diabetes. U.S. researchers at the University of Chicago found a strong correlation between climate and genetic adaptations that influence the risk of metabolic syndrome, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times is reporting that patients are submitting to underground genetic testing, but are not informing their doctors of the results because these patients have legitimate fears of insurance discrimination. With recent advancements in technology, companies such as 23andMe and deCODEme have been able to remove the last barrier, cost, for personalized genetic screening. 
The article addresses issues regarding privacy fears, in addition to the use of genetic results [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A collaborative team of researchers from the University of Georgia, the Consortium for Conservation Medicine, and Columbia University have shown for the first time that infectious disease from zoonotic sources, diseases passed to humans from animals, is on the rise.

The research team looked at incidents of disease from 1940 to 2004 and found a sharp [...]]]></description>
