One for teachers and CSI fans. The fallability of DNA evidence and how you can prove anything with statistics.

How should clinics that treat patients with injections of their own stem cells be regulated? That question is about to test the jurisdiction of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

US researchers have developed a way to predict how nanoparticles will interact with biological systems — including the human body.

The Australian Government will establish a $21 million Special Research Initiative in Stem Cell Science to build Australia’s capacity to conduct stem cell research.

A decision by the European Court of Justice on a DNA patent held by global seed company Monsanto has caused concerns that the ruling could limit the protection companies enjoy on their European patents.

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) is warning that nanomaterials may be entering the market without adequate risk assessment by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
