Cancer ‘vaccine’ eliminates tumors in mice - 90 of 90 mice cured of cancers with lymphoma, similar results observed in colon, breast, and melanoma cancers.
https://med.stanford.edu/news/al…
TL;DR
Two immune stimulating agents injected into the tumors of mice eliminated all traces of cancer as well as distant, untreated metastases. 87 of 90 mice were cured of the cancer.
Although the cancer returned in three mice, they again regressed after a second treatment.
The researchers saw similar results in mice bearing breast, colon, and melanoma tumors. Treating the first tumor that arose often prevented the occurrence of future tumors.
One agent is already approved for human use and the other has been tested in other unrelated clinical trials. A clinical trial was launched in January to test the effect of the treatment in patients with lymphoma.

Un-backed random thoughts of the day:
Is fear of intimacy widespread?
If intimacy is personal truth, and people are constantly lying because the truth is scary, then I think it's widespread. People are scared of being intimate with themselves and with others.In relationships, it seems sex is used to mask it, make it seem as if it isn't present and keep the mind off it.
Why is it that the first intimate contact between two newly acquainted people who are interested in a long term meaningful relationship, is not an intimate discussion or feeling, but touch and specifically french kissing?
In no time, they go from strangers to sexually engaged with no intimcay involved.It seems as if the more one represses intimacy, the more a yearning for contact manifests in needing touch.
Also with touch alone, one can continue lying, no words are necessary.Interestingly, pedophiles suffer from this, maybe this has to do with circles of violence as the bellow wiki article relates to abuse victims as well -
"Current studies show that people who have an insufficient amount of intimacy or are lonely are more vulnerable to exhibit sexually offending behaviors.[12]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fe…Going with this rational, maybe it's not surprising that men, who are supposed to be stoic and fear more than a handshake with other men or talking about their feelings, have more fear of intimacy than women.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/…I assume that the fear is increasing.

How the Universe Got Its Bounce Back
Cosmologists have shown that it’s theoretically possible for a contracting universe to bounce and expand. The new work resuscitates an old idea that directly challenges the Big Bang theory of cosmic origins.

- Not knocking the idea, just saying.garbage
- It's older than that - i was a big believer in universal expansion/collapse when I was in Uni ... 20 years ago *sobs*detritus
- *note 'believer' :)detritus
- This theory has been around for awhile though. But it's seems unlikely because the rate of expansion is actually accelerating, not decelerating.twooh
- The very cyclical nature of... nature would tend to lend weight to this theory.********
- Looove that animation!!!jagara
- Me too. I stared at it for about 5 minutes********
- I believe (!) that an ever expanding u overseas could be 'cyclical' too - once every sub-atom has utterly faded out, a new null state might be achieved..detritus
- (Ugh *universe, not u overseas, damn phone)

"Sedate a Plant, and It Seems to Lose Consciousness. Is It Conscious?"
"The electrical activity that moves across neurons is thought by some scientists to contribute to human consciousness. If electrical activity is being disrupted by anesthetic in plants, too, causing them to “lose consciousness,” does that mean, in some way, that they are conscious?"

McDonald's french fries contain chemical that may cure baldness, study says
http://www.foxnews.com/food-drin…
"A Japanese stem cell research team may have found a way to eliminate baldness by using an ingredient in McDonald’s french fries.
The scientists from Yokohama National University discovered the chemical dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone used in McDonald’s fry oil to prevent splashing, can be used to mass produce hair follicles on mice."

Earprints as criminal evidence
“An earprint is an impression of the external ear. House breakers may leave their earprints inadvertently when they listen at doors and windows to check if there is anyone inside before breaking and entering a premises. Owing to uniqueness and individualistic characteristics of the human ear, earprints can be used as evidence to link a criminal with the crime. In the recent past, many suspected thieves have been convicted and several burglaries linked due to the presence of similar earprints.”

Microbubble contrast agents: a new era in ultrasound
"Contrast agents are widely used in imaging, but until recently they had little place in ultrasonography. This has changed with the introduction of microbubbles—small (typically 3 μm in diameter) gas filled bubbles that are usually injected intravenously. Injecting a gas into the circulation may seem potentially hazardous, but extensive clinical experience has shown that the tiny volume of air or gas given (under 200 μl) is not dangerous, and the safety of microbubbles compares well to that of conventional agents in radiography and magnetic resonance imaging.1 Although microbubbles were originally designed simply to improve conventional ultrasound scanning, recent discoveries have opened up powerful emerging applications. This article describes some of these applications in radiology and cardiology and discusses the potential of microbubbles for therapy."

If i'm not mistaken this started with a /sci/ anon who is going blind due to genetics, talking about experimenting with CRISPR to cure his disease.
"We are a group of internet volunteers from a diverse range of academic backgrounds, brought together by the common goal of treating blindness.
We are not doing this because we expect that this will be an easy problem to solve, but rather because we think it is a worthwhile problem that deserves a fresh approach.
We are resourceful, we have new ideas, and most of all we are very motivated.
Whether you have a background in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, or even are just casually interested in the project, we would love your help."

People with allergies and asthma have higher risk of psychiatric disorders
In a new, large-scale study, eczema, hay fever, and asthma are linked to an increased risk of developing mental illnesses. The study backs up previous work and may help to guide clinicians as they treat these people.

Science Frontiers is the bimonthly newsletter providing digests of reports that describe scientific anomalies; that is, those observations and facts that challenge prevailing scientific paradigms. Over 2000 Science Frontiers digests have been published since 1976.
These 2,000+ digests represent only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The Sourcebook Project, which publishes Science Frontiers, also publishes the Catalog of Anomalies, which delves far more deeply into anomalistics and now extends to sixteen volumes, and covers dozens of disciplines.
Over 14,000 volumes of science journals, including all issues of Nature and Science have been examined for reports on anomalies. In this context, the newsletter Science Frontiers is the appetizer and the Catalog of Anomalies is the main course.

Scientists claim to find evidence of previous iterations of our universe in the cosmic background radiation, but are they just seeing shapes in clouds? Stephen Hawking once found his initials in the cosmic background radiation:
