Q&A: How scientists aim to kill cancers by starving them
Like all living things, cancer cells need to eat, and scientists have long tried to figure out how to starve tumors to death. A lot of that effort has focused on stifling the cells’ ability to digest glucose, a simple sugar thought to be the main food source for cancer. The glucose route has been…

Scientists have just turned giant panda skin cells into stem cells
With roughly 2,000 giant pandas remaining in the wild, scientists have spent the last several decades looking for new ways to help the iconic black-and-white bears stave off extinction. And now, it seems there may be more hope than ever before. For the first time, scientists have taken ordinary skin cells from the animal and…
