Hello,
	There is a new post on Dean's World.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	Okay, check this out: researchers at Harvard have
	developed a nanotech-based sensor system that can
	detect apoptosis--death--of cancer cells in
	chemotherappy patients. The idea is pretty simple:
	normally you have to wait weeks or even months
	before you can tell whether chemotherapy is working
	to kill the cancer cells you want to kill. These
	sensors can tell cancer cells from normal ones,
	and, can tell whether the cancer cells are dying.
	If they aren't, doctors can switch strategies and
	medications, and can do it much more quickly than
	they can right now....
