		<description><![CDATA[As reported yesterday in LiveScience, Mark Briffa, a behavioral ecologist published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that hermit crabs have different personalities. In the past he has examined how they behave in combat and the value they place on a shell. 
Dr. Briffa&#8217;s method for determining a crab&#8217;s personality was to flip crabs upside down and measure how long [...]]]></description>

		<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[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. Now, it is the year 2008, and treatment procedures have slowly been changing to use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, you&#8217;ve probably heard of the doomsday vault that opened in Norway last Tuesday. It is a facility built to safely hold and protect the world&#8217;s supply of seeds. The vault was carved 364 feet deep into sandstone and limestone under the permafrost of a remote Arctic mountain only 620 miles from the North [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers at Purdue University, have published in Nature, a new technology for detection of toxins and food-borne pathogens. The research group claims the technology is able to detect several pathogens in thousands of food and water samples in a couple of hours. Interestingly, it can also estimate the number of microbes present in a sample and determine whether that amount [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nanotechnology, considered morally unacceptable by the public, has benefited a variety of fields and is once again making strides in medicine. The University of Michigan has reported a novel technique using nanoemulsions to vaccinate against infectious diseases. The group uses nanometer diameter oil-based emulsions that are sprayed into the nose to produce a strong immune response. Previously, [...]]]></description>

The researchers coated a biocompatible polymer with heart cells that pulse in synchony in the presence of glucose, obviating the need for an external power supply. These beating cells permit the robot to move its six legs. The robot has [...]]]></description>
