DNA might soon replace silicon as the perfect computing material. DNA can build itself up from scratch and become anything it wants and self assemble. We can only shrink silicon so much.
So if computer chips were made of DNA, the cost of producing the biological circuits would be much cheaper. The idea is more science fiction than a reality at this point.DNA might soon replace silicon as the perfect computing material. DNA can build itself... more

The woman who prosecutors determined falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape maintains in a new memoir that she was attacked, a claim that provoked an angry lawsuit threat from one player’s family.
Crystal Mangum, who appeared publicly today for the first time since making the allegations more than two years ago, says in her book being made available online Friday that she is not "looking forward to opening old wounds" but that she had to defend herself.
"Even as I try to move on with my life, I still find it necessary to take one more stand and fight," she writes in an excerpt of the book, "The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story."

One-third of the drugs scrutinized under a U.S. regulatory initiative to encourage testing of medicines in children needed action such as changes to prescribing information to warn of side effects, a study found.
Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration reviewed 67 medicines over four years and urged actions for 23, researchers said today in the journal Pediatrics. Among a dozen drugs for which the Pediatric Advisory Committee suggested changes to the prescribing information were Roche Holding AG's Tamiflu treatment for influenza and Johnson & Johnson's Ditropan for overactive bladders and Duragesic patches for pain.
Several side effects revealed during the advisory reviews ``were rare and life-threatening,'' according to the report. The monitoring of symptoms associated with the medicines helped identify dangers that hadn't been detected before, said Daniel K. Benjamin Jr., an author of the study and a professor of pediatrics at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
``Robust safety monitoring is important across all age groups, but it's obviously particularly important in children,'' Benjamin, a former pediatric consultant at the FDA, said in a telephone interview on Aug. 27. ``Clearly, this particular program should continue.''
The FDA advisers recommended that 44 of the drugs reviewed, or 66 percent, be returned to routine monitoring for side effects, according to the study.
``Fortunately, the majority of drugs given exclusivity had no adverse events of a frequency or severity that prevented a return to routine adverse event monitoring,'' the study authors wrote.
Safety monitoring soon after products come on the market ``is crucial to detect rare, serious, or pediatric-specific'' side effects, according to the study, whose authors include doctors and researchers at the FDA and Duke. One-third of the drugs scrutinized under a U.S. regulatory initiative to encourage... more

Kennedy Having Surgery for Tumor
By PAM BELLUCK - NY Times
BOSTON, June 2 — Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was to have surgery for his malignant brain tumor on Monday morning at Duke University Medical Center, his office said.
Mr. Kennedy, 76, who was diagnosed two weeks ago with a malignant glioma in the upper left portion of his brain, was to undergo an operation that was to begin at around 9 a.m. and last roughly six hours. He was to be operated on by Dr. Allan Friedman, chief of the division of neurosurgery in the surgical department at Duke in Durham, N.C.
Mr. Kennedy’s office issued a statement at around 6:30 a.m. on Monday saying that he expects to remain in the hospital at Duke for about a week and then return to Massachusetts, where he will undergo chemotherapy and radiation at Massachusetts General Hospital, where his tumor was diagnosed after he suffered a seizure at his home on Cape Cod.
Mr. Kennedy said in the statement that he and his wife Vicki, “along with my outstanding team of doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital, have consulted with experts from around the country and have decided that the best course of action for my brain tumor is targeted surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation.”
He said that, “after completing treatment, I look forward to returning to the United States Senate and to doing everything I can to help elect Barack Obama as our next president.”
It was not clear from the statement how long his course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment would take.Kennedy Having Surgery for Tumor

Josh Sommer is 20 years old. He is well-read, well-spoken, well-educated and well-rounded. He inhales knowledge like it’s oxygen and absorbs information like a sponge. High school was a breeze for him.
However, Josh was diagnosed with clival chordoma in January 2006, a rare type of cancer that forms at the base of the skull and spine. Once diagnosed, a patient with chordoma lives an average of seven years. And until recently, there were very few places to find any real helpful information for those afflicted.
And thus began Josh’s quest to solve the unsolvable — his attempt to cure his own disease. It’s a feat near impossible for a scientist with years of education in biology, much less a college student who had never taken a biology class … unless you count the basic course he took in middle school. Josh was starting from square one, without the luxury of “time” to learn what would soon become his whole life.
