For the first time, scientists have successfully produced 3D images showing oxygen and carbon dioxide transport in the lungs, using a new method that could lead to better treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

Genetic vulnerabilities could lead to powerful new treatments for colon cancer and the researchers hope that the drugs designed to strike these weak spots will eventually stop the disease that is almost inevitably fatal once it spreads, a study by an Indian-American professor says.
