For day 2 of Experimental Biology, I found an interesting poster on a new chemical, found in slime mold, that might have therapeutic potential for breast cancer treatment! Enjoy! We are always looking for new cancer treatments. Each type of cancer is different, from breast cancer to lung cancer or pancreatic, and there are also different subtypes of cancers within each type of cancer. Your breast cancer can be estrogen receptor positive or negative, and this can drastically effect what kind of treatments may work best.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new chemical technique for depositing a non-crystalline form of silicon into the long, ultra-thin pores of optical fibers has been developed by an international team of scientists in the United States and the United Kingdom. The technique, which is the first of its kind to use high-pressure chemistry for making well-developed films and wires of this particular kind of silicon semiconductor, will help scientists to make more-efficient and more-flexible optical fibers. The findings, by an international team led by John Badding, a professor of chemistry at Penn State University, will be published in a future print edition of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
