When your genome costs less than your iPhone: The beautiful, terrifying future of DNA sequencing
Jo Best has written an excellent article for TechRepublic on how we managed to reduce the cost of DNA sequencing from $100 million in 2001 to under $10,000 now and how companies like 23andMe can offer tests that provide information on a range of traits for $99. Well worth reading, even if you skip the

Killer T Cell: The Cancer Assassin (Video!)
Ever wondered how our T lymphocytes hunt down and kill cancer cells? This Cambridge University video shows how our cytotoxic T cells (the ones with a CD8 marker and hence called CD8+ T cells ), check whether a cell in the blood is cancerous or infected and if so destroys it. Unfortunately for us, our

Vitamin A debate 😊
Hi everyone Looking in my local pharmacy, I didn't see vitamin A. I'm wondering how many of you are taking it. Also how much are you taking? Do you have to order it? I Know your not supposed to take over 10,000 safety. I was thinking cod liver oil. Anyone use that? Do you feel it's helping you

Can you get better from COPD
I was diagnosed with COPD 8 years ago. The doctor said it was mild at that time. I immediately gave up smoking, but have been on nicotine chewing gum ever since., now find it impossible to stop. My question is can your lungs get better or do they deteriorate over years. The Dr said I have 80 percent

DNR, DNAR, DNACPR, NFR. Confused what these acronyms mean? So are hospital staff. UK end of life directives are unethical says physician.
Turning the current 'Do not Resuscitate' process in hospitals upside down by using a Universal Form of Treatment Options (UTFO), enables hospital staff to actually be focusing on whether their goal is active treatment or optimal supportive care and could result in a 46% reduction in harm to patients,

Ask your questions of a CLL expert LIVE from ASCO
Dear CLL friends: While the big convention where blood cancers are discussed is the ASH (American Society of Hematology) meeting in early December, some research comes out at the ASCO medical meeting (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in early June in Chicago. Many CLL specialists attend this too
