Writing in Nature, an international team of researchers described how they had taken pieces of cancer’s genetic RNA code, put them into tiny nanoparticles of fat and then injected the mixture into the bloodstreams of three patients in the advanced stages of the disease. The patients’ immune systems responded by producing “killer” T-cells designed to attack cancer. “However, more research is needed in a larger number of people with different cancer types and over longer periods of time before we could say we have discovered a ‘universal cancer vaccine’. But this research is a very positive step forwards towards this global goal,” she said. Of course it could be the fat that was injected too… it is early days still but it does sound promising so let’s hope lots of effort goes into this further research.
Scientists believe they have found a way to make a universal cancer vaccine
Researchers have found a way to persuade the body’s immune system to attack tumours – and it is largely free from side effects

It seriously saddens me that we lost one in such an unfortunate event. However I do believe that the keepers made the only choice they could to save a tiny human beings life. Unlike what we see in the movies tranquilizers aren’t immediate and the bigger the animal the more likely you are for that animal to freak out for a while before actually be garnered unconscious. If they had chosen to go the route of a tranquilizer the little boy would likely have been gravely injured or worse killed. It was a sad choice, but it was the only choice they could have made. The mother shouldn’t be hung out to dry either, toddler’s can get away very quickly and if they don’t want to be grabbed (and this one didn’t a few people tried to grab him before he fell in) they can be very slippery. The whole incident was a horrible accident and people really shouldn’t be witch hunting.
