Sounds like us gabby girls.

As always neverdem you come up with some great articles.

Thanks from a fellow love of the sci med person.

From what I hear Johnson and Johnson will soon market a new drug which will inhibit blood flow to tumors causing them to shrink and die .

Comparing proteins within the microvesicles with the originating tumors showed that the vesicles also accurately reveal the protein content of the tumors, providing still more information about how tumors might respond to specific therapies, the researchers report. With further refinement, such tests will allow doctors to tell what kind of genetic mutations their patients' tumors may contain, which can help them select the best treatment for the patient, Breakefield says.

Cutting edge stuff. Thanks for the ping, neverdem.
