FDA proposes sweeping review of U S vaccines and products
The FDA plans a broad review of more than 1 100 licensed vaccines and biologics assessing effectiveness safety and labeling. Dr Harry M Meyer Jr new director of the Division of Biologies Standards says the move aims to reexamine safety and efficacy under modern standards. The review will begin with 31 vaccines from 10 manufacturers and proposals will be published in the Federal Register with a 60 day comment period.

Brookhaven scientists claim breakthrough in plant genetics
Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers report a successful parasexual hybridization creating a fertile tobacco plant from two different species. They say this may yield crops with new traits such as edible parts both above and below ground, risking a shift in global food production. The work, in Japan and England, is seen as a major but early step toward revolutionary agriculture.

Dr Richard Lerner notes the finding shows a single virus may trigger multiple illnesses.
