China Makes Arrests Over Tainted Milk - China has arrested three more people for dealing in milk and milk powder tainted with melamine, a compound used in plastics and fertiliser that caused a massive food safety scandal last year, the Xinhua news agency said. The tainted milk powder dates to mid-2008 but was sold to dairy firms and food companies in late 2009, indicating that significant stocks of melamine-laced powder may remain in circulation in China despite a September 2008 crackdown after at least six babies died from ingesting the chemical.
HIV Hits All Time High in Israel - The Health Ministry on Monday reported that there are an estimated 6,275 people living with HIV in Israel, some of whom are still unaware of their medical condition. The statistics, which were released ahead of World AIDS day on Tuesday, reveal that more people were checked for the virus in 2009 than any years prior. Despite the rise in Israel, there has been a 17 percent drop in the number of people testing for HIV throughout the world.
Swine Flu Spreads Week or More After Symptoms - New studies show that many people spread swine flu for a week or more after symptoms first appear, and doctors say coughing may be a better sign than fever for telling who is contagious.
Korean Scientist Faces 4 Years Over Stem Cell Fraud - South Korean prosecutors told a Seoul court on Monday they wanted a four-year prison term for disgraced scientist Hwang Woo-suk, whose research team has been linked to major fraud in its once-celebrated stem cell studies.
The 57-year-old Hwang, touted as a global stem cell pioneer and treated as a national hero, was indicted in 2006 on charges of embezzling 2 billion won (then $2 million) of research funds from two domestic companies using fabricated reports.
Mouse Developed From Adult Skin Cells - ...The fact that iPS cells can give rise to an entirely new mouse, and one that can sire offspring, as one of the studies showed, suggests that the cells are as versatile as those from embryos, and may prove useful in generating other kinds of functioning cells that can safely treat patients with conditions such as Parkinson's, diabetes and heart disease — or even prevent these diseases altogether.
