Interferon A Cancer Fighter In Clinical Testing
The American Cancer Society plans to spend 2 million dollars on human trials of interferon a protein that fights viruses and may curb certain cancers. In Sweden 34 patients with osteogenic sarcoma survived after high dose interferon treatment, showing about a 70 percent three year survival versus 10 to 30 percent with surgery alone. Trials face limits of short lived, species specific interferon and high cost, with production from Finland and potential synthetic futures.

Celtic grave found near Stuttgart with prince remains
Amateur archaeologist Renate Leibfried uncovered a 2,500 year old Celtic prince grave near Ludwigsburg. The site yielded an Etruscan bronze kettle, a four wheeled cart, gold jewelry, a 9.8 foot bronze coffin and a gold adorned dagger. Experts say the prince died about 500 B.C. at age around 40 and the find links Celtic and Mediterranean cultures.
