		<description><![CDATA[According to a new study published online November 27, 2006 in The Anatomical Record, the official journal of the American Association of Anatomists, whales share brain cells with humans. The research suggests that &#8220;certain cetaceans and hominids may have evolved side by side.&#8221;
Examining brains from various cetaceans, the group of marine mammals that includes whales [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists have found a way to trick cancer cells into committing suicide. The novel technique potentially offers an effective method of providing personalized anti-cancer therapy.
Most living cells contain a protein called procaspase-3, which, when activated, changes into the executioner enzyme caspase-3 and initiates programmed cell death, called apoptosis. In cancer cells, however, the signaling pathway [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stem cells are a promising therapy for stroke and other brain injuries&#8211;they can sprout into healthy neurons and may be able to re-establish brain activity in brain-injured patients. While preliminary animal research shows promise, there&#8217;s often a common hurdle: adult stem cells have a hard time growing in damaged areas and tend to migrate to [...]]]></description>
