Scientists have identified 29 new genetic variants linked to multiple sclerosis, providing key insights into the biology of a very debilitating neurological disease.
Battle of the microbes: Pseudomonas breaches cell walls of rival bacteria without hurting itself
Microbiologists have uncovered a sneaky trick by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa to oust its competitors. Its means of attack helps it survive in the outside environment and may even help it cause infection. P. aeruginosa injects toxins into rival bacteria through a needle-like structure. The toxins degrade their competitors' protective barriers -- their cell walls.

The toxins degrade their competitors' protective barriers -- their cell walls.
Stem cells: Nearing goal of using patient's own cells to make stem cells to replace lost or diseased tissue
Scientists have developed an improved technique for generating large numbers of blood cells from a patient's own cells. The new technique will be immediately useful in further stem cell studies, and when perfected, could be used in stem cell therapies for a wide variety of conditions including cancers and Immune ailments.
