Transplanting Smokers' Lungs Is Better Than No Transplant At All
May 29, 2012
Although lung transplant patients who receive the lungs of smokers tend to survive for a shorter duration than patients who receive the lungs of non-smokers, researchers in the UK have found that they have a better overall chance of survival than those who remain on waiting lists. The study is published Online First in The Lancet... Read More

Earlier Detection Of Diseases Likely With New Super-Sensitive Tests
May 29, 2012
Scientists have developed an ultra-sensitive test that should enable them to detect signs of a disease in its earliest stages, in research published in the journal Nature Materials. The scientists, from Imperial College London and the University of Vigo, have created a test to detect particular molecules that indicate the presence of disease, even when these are in very low concentrations...
