  Technology Review: Molecular Sunglasses for Macular Degeneration Dampening a light-sensing reaction in the eye might slow a common cause of blindness.

  Molecular Sunglasses for Macular Degeneration Dampening a light-sensing reaction in the eye might slow a common cause of blindness. Molecules designed to slow the production of toxic byproducts in the eye by making it less sensitive to light are now being tested in patients with macular ...

  Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: Imaging Breakthrough Heralds Snapshots of Individual Biomolecules

  That could suddenly make it possible to determine the structure of numerous proteins and other biomolecules that have so far avoided the scrutiny of molecular biologists. Not to mention cheap sequencing simple by pulling a strand of DNA past the right kind of video camera.

  Evolution Could Explain Cancer Relapse Mystery

  As Brutovsky and Horvath put it: "A paradoxical consequence of the optimization facet of carcinogenesis is that applied anti-cancer therapy can be, in fact, the causative factor of its acceleration on longer time scales."
