Technique
Demonstrates Whole-body Fluorescent Scanning
Fluorescent proteins have become ubiquitous tools in the lab and are regularly
used in animal models. A new imaging technique developed by a team led by Vasilis
Ntziachristos allows researchers to locate and quantify fluorescent proteins
throughout the body in living mice. The technology should enable researchers
to track cells that express fluorescent proteins within the entire mouse body—for
instance, to monitor the growth of tumors or the delivery of genes.

Medicare Drug Benefit Tests
Health Care Marketplace
The complexity of the new Medicare drug benefit—and the potential for
it to save seniors money—amount to an experiment in how efficient this
market really is, says Joseph Ladapo. If seniors can access the information
they need to make choices that lower their costs and provide for their health,
consumer-driven health care will emerge as a winner.
