Our laboratory studies indicate that this >cancer-fighting ability is even stronger in healthy humans," Dr. >Zheng Cui was quoted as saying by The Independent. The research is being done at Wake Forest University, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA. If you're reasonably close to there, consider donating some blood for the research. You can't easily track from the URL above to the URL of the researcher's web sites. If you start at Slashdot instead, you can get to the page about recruiting donors in two clicks: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/29/1453241 http://www1.wfubmc.edu/LIFT http://www1.wfubmc.edu/LIFT/donors/eligibility.htm They also have a page about recruiting patients, if you need that: http://www1.wfubmc.edu/LIFT/patients/eligibility.htm Can anyone understand why recruiting donors happens in mixed case, but patients are recruited in all caps? The newspaper articles tend to truncate the name of the institution that's hosting the research. It's really happening at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Don't be mean to the religious people, they might save your life. -- Tim Freeman http://www.fungible.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=30841
