		<description><![CDATA[Cancer begins when a single cell&#8217;s DNA acquires sufficient mutations in key areas (or &#8216;genes&#8216;) that it can no longer regulate its own growth. The cell begins to divide and divide repeatedly, being unable to either sense or act upon the signals coming from nearby cells telling it to &#8220;be a good neighbor and quit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A large collaborative effort has sequenced the entire genomes of two of the most common cancer types: skin (&#8216;melanoma&#8216;) and lung (&#8216;small-cell lung cancer)&#8217;. The scientists involved report tens of thousands of mutations in the tumors&#8217; genomes, and speculate that their work may expedite the development of specific drugs to treat these diseases. Hoorah! The [...]]]></description>

But enough about computer programmers, let&#8217;s introduce the star of this story: the naked mole rat. These creatures appear to be completely resistant to spontaneous cancers, of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[      What turns a normal cell into a cancer-causing cell? Well, the cell must lose control over its replication machinery, and this almost always happens in one or both of two ways: the genes which tell a cell to divide can develop mutations and become permanently switched on; or the genes which stop [...]]]></description>
