Why Tumor Cells Invade Distant Organs
Most cancers kill because tumor cells spread beyond the primary site to invade other organs. Now, a USC study of brain-invading breast cancer cells circulating in the blood reveals they have a molecular signature indicating specific organ preferences.

Real Texture for Lab-grown Meat
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have grown rabbit and cow muscles cells on edible gelatin scaffolds that mimic the texture and consistency of meat, demonstrating that realistic meat products may eventually be produced without the need to raise and slaughter animals.

Genes Linked to Sex Ratio Associated With Infertility
"Is it a boy or girl?". It's presumed that there's a 50-50 chance you'd have one or the other. However, a new study of the sex chromosomes suggest they genes which, at least in mice, skew that assumed ratio to favor one sex, could have major implications for male infertility.
