		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[ALD, or Adrenoleukodystrophy, is an inherited neurodegenerative disease. Patients&#8217; bodies are unable to break down certain types of fat molecules, and these accumulate to toxic levels in cells of the brain and spinal cord. Those cells gradually die. Thus far, there is no cure. But scientists have just released details of an apparently successful trial [...]]]></description>
