There are plenty of workstation laptops that claim to deliver on the promise of heavy-duty computing on the road, but they're not usually that much different on the inside than a garden variety portable.  You can't say that about Lenovo's monster new ThinkPad P50 and P70 systems, though. The two not only offer things you'd expect in this class, such as color-accurate 4K displays and pro NVIDIA Quadro graphics, but Intel's first-ever mobile Xeon processors (specifically, the E3-1500M) -- you won't have to settle for an ordinary Core i-series chip here. If you need to crunch 3D models or video when you're out of the office, one of these rigs may be your best bet. That CPU upgrade also brings the kind of perks normally limited to desktops, including support for a whopping 64GB of memory and Thunderbolt 3 ports that can handle dual 4K displays. LENOVO THINKPAD P50 & P70 Your system choice is dictated mostly by screen size. The P50 is the vaguely po...

Gear VR owners are about to get a whole new channel of 360-degree video content: Samsung just announced Gear Indie, an independent film channel for its Milk VR video platform. Over the next few weeks, Samsung will be hosting a showcase of 13 curated independent virtual reality films, including a time-lapse of the Mohave Desert, an experiment in first-person stop-motion animation, a comedy short about teleportation (Teleportaled, pictured above) and even a "virtual pet" simulator filmed at the San Diego Humane Society. Gear Indie is primarily a channel for watching curated independent VR films, but Samsung also plans to use the platform to help creators make content. Throughout the year, the outfit will host Gear Indie challenges asking filmmakers to create content based on a specific theme. The company is also planning a mentorship program that pairs artists with prominent folks in the VR industry. The channel is live right now on Milk VR. Content creators can learn mo...

We've got some bad news for those of you in the US and Canada waiting for the OnePlus 2. While you can still purchase the new device from OnePlus.net today if you have an invite code, you have quite a bit of wait ahead of you. The company has announced in its forums that it can't ship out units to North America just yet. It'll start sending out orders two to three weeks after shipments to Europe have begun, so you might end up waiting for a month, depending on your location. OnePlus said the delay was "due to production schedules," but it didn't elaborate on what that meant exactly. In case you're still on the fence about buying the manufacturer's new flagship phone, though, make sure to check out our review before you pull the trigger. SOURCE

If you've ever worried that someone was editing your shared documents behind your back, Microsoft might just set your mind at ease. The folks in Redmond are rolling out an update to OneDrive that tells you when someone is editing a file you've shared, whether through a mobile notification or a daily summary email -- you'll know if someone is diving into that quarterly report a little too soon, or if that spreadsheet will be ready for tomorrow. Only some users will see these alerts at first, but they should be "widely available" in the weeks ahead. There's more beyond that. Microsoft recently added support for sharing synced folders to your desktop, and it's now making it possible to search within files that have been shared with you, not just your own material. You won't have to remember whether or not you were the first to bring up that important topic, in other words. Overall, these OneDrive updates could eliminate some of the confusion that com...

Reports came out earlier this year that the next iPhones will have Force Touch -- a feature that makes it easy to access particular content or functions by pressing down on a pressure-sensitive screen with haptic feedback. Now, 9to5mac has more details about the feature, which was introduced on the Apple Watch's screen and new MacBook's trackpad. Apparently, Force Touch for Apple's mobile devices is known internally as "Orb" and is meant to provide shortcuts for the platform. For instance, the publication's sources said pressing down on a destination on the Maps apps automatically begins turn-by-turn directions. Doing so on a song listing within the Music app, on the other hand, brings up a menu you can use to quickly add it to a playlist or save it for offline listening. You can also press down on an app on the Home Screen to bring up a special options menu: the Phone app's, for example, includes a shortcut to Voicemail. Some of its other functions c...

Not to bum you out, but many scientists believe that the universe will eventually die -- stars and even black holes will release energy until there's virtually nothing left. And unfortunately, there's now stronger evidence that this inexorable decline is real. Scientists using radio telescopes have measured the energy output of 200,000 galaxies with greater precision than ever, and they've determined that these star havens are only producing half as much energy as they were 2 billion years ago. In short, the universe is fading out. This isn't surprising (entropy is inescapable in our understanding of physics), but it does downplay theories that the universe might maintain or even regain energy. This isn't to say you should worry about the universe decaying any time soon. Current models have new stars forming until well over 1 trillion years after the Big Bang, and it'll take over a quintillion years before galaxies bite the dust. Humanity likely won't b...

Fancy that you could create the next Inside Out if you only had the right tools? Pixar just made that dream a little more realistic. Mere months after giving away Renderman, the studio has announced plans to open the source code for its Universal Scene Description software, which gives multiple computer animation apps a common "scene graph" to work from. It should help movie makers streamline the production process (particularly if there's more than one company involved), but it'll also be a boon to animation app designers who want their various programs to play together. The open-sourced USD should be available by summer 2016. Take that release window with a grain of salt, though. Pixar promised to give away Renderman back in June 2014, but didn't make it available until March this year -- don't be alarmed if the prep work (such as documentation, plugins and tutorials) takes longer than expected.

Plug-in charging infrastructure like Tesla's Supercharger network are currently helping drive the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs),  but the UK government is already looking towards a future where charging is also possible on the move. Highways England today announced its plan to start off-road testing of wireless charging tech that could allow EVs and hybrids to travel much longer distances on the UK's major roads without needing to refuel. Trials are expected to start before the end of the year, just as soon as the right vehicle and under-road tech "to replicate motorway conditions" has been sourced. These should run for around 18 months, after which the hope is to progress to testing the wireless charging infrastructure on real roads. The UK government has committed £500 million (roughly $780 million) to the project over the next five years, and the off-road trials follow a substantial feasibility study conducted by Highways England. It looked into everyt...

It's not only Chrysler drivers that have to worry about hackers taking control of their cars from afar. UC San Diego researchers have found that you can control features on cars of many makes by exploiting vulnerabilities in cellular-capable dongles that are sometimes plugged into the vehicles' OBD-II ports, such as insurance trackers and driving efficiency tools. In the example you see above, the security team compromised a Corvette touting a Mobile Devices dongle (one of the most common varieties) through everyday text messages -- they could turn on the wipers or even cut the brakes. That same device is also set to allow remote tunneling using a universal 'private' key, making it easy for an intruder to get complete control over the adapter and its unfortunate host car. You'll be glad to hear that Mobile Devices has already patched its hardware in response to the findings, and that the phone numbers for these dongles aren't normally public. You'...

TrackingPoint's computer-augmented rifle sights, better known as the ShotView targeting system, have set off a wave of controversy and debate since they first debuted in 2014. That debate is about to get even hotter now that security researchers Runa Sandvik and Michael Auger have shown Wired a way to break into the rifle and shut it down or, even worse, change the target to the hacker's choosing. According to a report from Wired, the married hackers have developed a method to break into the rifle via a WiFi connection and take command through a series of software exploits. This allows them near complete control over the aiming and firing functions. They can reportedly adjust the scope's trajectory calculations, disable the aiming computer entirely and even prevent the gun from firing in the first place. Last we heard, however, the company was dealing with financial troubles and wasn't taking orders for new weapons so this might not be too much of a problem. The ha...

"DNA origami" is nothing new -- in fact, IBM once considered it as a way to make microchips. However, Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have become ridiculously good at folding the building blocks of life, and built a bunny to prove it. The point was not to do a party trick, of course, though rabbit-shaped DNA is delightful. Rather, the team wanted to develop a fully-automated, 3D-printing-like method for folding DNA. Researchers could one day use the technique to create structures that don't break down in the human body in order to precisely deliver drugs. Currently, scientists form such structures by attaching short DNA strands to longer ones and manually folding them at the joints. But even using software, that's a fiddly process that requires shapes to be designed helix-by-helix. With the new technique, scientists can first develop the shape they want and let the software figure out how to build it. The algorithms try to find a way to join the b...

Apparently, the secret to better, more eco-friendly rice plant is another type of grain: barley.  A team of scientists has created genetically modified rice that borrows a single gene from barley and found that the altered organism can generate up to 43 percent more grains per plant. Plus, its methane emission is down to 0.3 percent, a lot lower than regular rice's 10 percent emission observed during the scientists' experiments. Methane, as you might know, is one of the most potent greenhouse gases and is the second most prevalent in the US after carbon dioxide. It's not 100 percent clear why the modified organism produces less greenhouse gas, but the scientists believe it could be because it stores more starch and sugar in its stems and grains than its roots. Regular rice has more starch and sugar in its roots, which tend to leak out and serve as food to microbes that turn them into methane. While this barley-rice organism sounds promising, the scientists still need ...

The Sony CMT-SX7 HiFi was supposed to be a compact, high-end sound system with multi-room capabilities and a full suite of wireless streaming standards (including AirPlay and Google Cast). Instead, it's a recalled safety hazard that doesn't play music right, makes your dog bark and threatens to catch on fire. Sony has issued an impassioned plea to stop using the stereo immediately. You probably don't have one (it's brand-new, and only available in Japan right now), but if you do, you should listen. According to the company's official (and machine translated) statement, the CMT-SX7 has a tendency to put out very loud high-frequency signals while playing music--it's inaudible to the human ear, but it'll drive your pets crazy. It's a possible fire hazard, too: Sony says the setup's tweeters can become hot enough to smoke and break. The company asks users to stop using the unit and to unplug it from the wall, just to be safe. Sony is still worki...

In its ongoing war with Periscope for the hearts and screens of mobile users, Meerkat announced a new feature on Thursday. Users can now livestream their adventures from select GoPro cameras. Right now, only GoPro Hero3's offer the feature. Users will also need an iPhone with a wireless connection to the camera in order for everything to work. Meerkat is reportedly working to add support for both the Hero4 camera series and the Android platform in the near future. This announcement follows the recent Meerkat additions of the "cameo" feature that allows your friends to hop onto broadcasts with you and an embeddable web player. Source

At this point, the Moto G 2015 edition is becoming one of Motorola's worst kept secrets. The latest piece of news, first reported by Evan Blass (aka @evleaks), is that the next Moto G is going to be compatible with Moto Maker for the first time -- following in the footsteps of its flagship sibling, the Moto X. A Reddit user is corroborating this info after breaking down a page on Motorola's website, which has now been pulled, revealing that people who buy the device via Moto Maker will have a variety of custom options to choose from. That includes being able to personalize the next G's front and back colors, plus choose its internal storage (up to 16GB) and memory (1 or 2GB). It also seems there won't be wood choices at launch, but that could eventually change -- we shall find out next week. Source

FAA is investigating YouTube video of a drone firing a handgun A mechanical engineering student from Connecticut has attracted the attention of the Federal Aviation Administration, and not in a good way. 18-year-old Austin Haughwout had a viral hit on his hands earlier this month when he uploaded a YouTube video called “Flying Gun,” which depicts a custom-built drone aircraft with a standard handgun mounted on the front section. Not only does it fly with all that added weight, it can fire without spinning out of control. FAA officials are reportedly concerned, and an investigation is underway. The FAA has only recently waded into the murky issue of drone use in the US with a set of draft rules released several months ago. The rules cover requirements for commercial operation of drones, and are seen by many as highly restrictive. Drone operators would need to pass a licensing test every two years and keep drones under 500 feet. Additionally, the vehicle would need to be in eyesigh...

Audi, BMW, and Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) are poised to buy Nokia’s Here digital mapping service to gain direct access to key technology they need in the push toward autonomous driving. Equally important, if they get control of Here, they keep this technology jewel out of the hands of Apple, Google, and Uber. Good map data gets drivers to their destinations faster. Near-flawless map is a pre-requisite for self-driving cars. The three automakers would turn around and offer access to the data to the rest of the world’s automakers, according to the Wall Street Journal. Two major mapmakers for the world’s roadways Most of the world’s roadway map data comes from two sources. One is Nokia’s Here, which evolved from the 2008 purchase of Chicago-based Navteq. The other is TomTom, the Amsterdam-based company that bought TeleAtlas (also Netherlands-based) in 2008. To this map data, Here and TomTom as well third parties such as Google add speed limit and road limitations (one-way street, no...

Rarely has an invention with a subtext so directly from one of Aldous Huxley‘s dystopian futures appeared in the pages of an academic journal. In a study featured in the journal Cell, Washington University associate professor Dr. Michael R. Bruchas has led a team of researchers in developing a device for releasing drugs directly into the brain via remote control. For those not familiar with the epic science fiction Brave New World, it lays out a future in which the citizenry are kept in a state stupefied pleasure through a universally endorsed drug – soma. While the Cell article focuses on the therapeutic uses for the device, for instance in treating intractable depression, it isn’t difficult to imagine Brave New World-type scenarios in which giving people access to the pleasure and pain centers of their brains via remote control opens up a whole Pandora’s box of dystopian horrors. Before delving into these morally hazardous subplots, let’s look at the science behind the device. ...

Qualcomm just announced its earnings for the quarter, and the news isn't good: the company is going to lay off 15 percent of its workforce as part of a major initiative to restructure the company and improve financial performance. And improve it must — Qualcomm's revenue of $5.8 billion for the quarter is down 14 percent from a year ago, while net income dropped a whopping 35 percent to $1.6 billion. Along with these disappointing results and upcoming layoffs, Qualcomm is also cutting its earnings forecast for the year — after already having done so twice already this year. Specifically, as noted by Recode, Qualcomm is cutting its outlook for the chip side of its business due to lower demand for high-end phones with Qualcomm chips coupled with less than expected sales in China for the devices that do run Qualcomm's chips. Translated, that means that the combined strength of Apple and Samsung in the smartphone world is putting a choke hold not just on other OEMs, but the...

Facebook has introduced new tools that will give its publishers even more customization options when distributing their videos, in their effort to grow into a serious competitor for YouTube and make their website a one-stop shop for all types of content. Many of these updates will seem familiar to those publishers who are regular users of YouTube, and they make it clear (as if it wasn't before) that Facebook is gearing up for a big fight for video on the web. Facebook announced two primary groups of updates in a blog post yesterday: the first focuses on customization options when uploading videos, the second on improving the back-end tools publishers use to organize them. The customization options include several new features to help restrict the distribution process for publishers, mainly the ability to publish "secret videos" and prevent embedding of videos on third-party sites. The secret videos feature seems to be a direct response to YouTube's unlisted videos...

Motorola is expected to unveil its new line of phones this coming Tuesday, but tonight we got another look at one of them, apparently the new Moto X. According to the Android Peru's Facebook posts, it has received photos from a leaker of the new phone, which apparently has a 5.5-inch screen and a front-facing flash for well-illuminated selfies. There's also some strange talk of a fingerprint sensor somehow being integrated into the bottom speaker, which Android Peru couldn't confirm. The images do line up with previous leaks, showing a well-textured and rounded back panel and a screen with perishingly thin bezels on the sides. Motorola's tagline for its event was "XGX," a sign that there might be two Moto X devices coming. Sure enough, over the past weeks we've heard rumors of a "Moto X Sport" that may (or may not, because rumors!) be coming alongside its larger brother. It's expected to have a slightly smaller screen (at 5.2 inches) and ...

Apple's annual back to school promotion is here, and it's not a bad deal at all: the company's giving away a free pair of Beats Solo2 headphones — which usually sell for about $200 — to customers who buy a Mac through Apple's education pricing program, which the company offers to students and teachers. Through the promotion, customers who buy a Mac can also upgrade to the wireless Solo2 headphones for $100. According to Apple, the promotion applies to these products: "iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Pro, including configure-to-order versions of such products." The promotion runs in the United States and Canada from today to September 18th. Source

Samsung is reportedly preparing to unveil its next flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 5, and a super-sized version of the Galaxy S6 Edge next month. We've already seen images of a dummy phone revealing the design of the S6 Edge Plus — yes, it's just a bigger version of the regular model. These latest photos, posted by Mobile Fun (and snapped with an iPhone), show the device running Android 5.1.1. Presumably that fresh version of Android will also be running on the Galaxy Note 5, which is certainly the more interesting of these two phones. Assuming these photos are legitimate (they're pretty blurry with some questionable image artifacts), the Note 5 looks like an enlarged version of the Galaxy S6, but with corners that aren't quite as rounded. Samsung seems poised to carry over the glass-and-metal design, as the same antenna lines from the S6 are also visible on this phone. Aside from that, there's not much to see other than a home button and a tempered glass s...

Fill Up and Go is the newest way to pay for petrol on garage forecourts all over the country. It's a mobile payment service which allows customers to pay for their fuel from the Shell Motorist app (available on Android and iOS) and a linked PayPal account. The company claim, "It's ideal for busy motorists who simply want a fast and easy visit." Upon pulling up to the pump simply open up the Shell Motorist app and tap 'Fill Up and Go'. Enter the maximum amount of money you wish to pre-authorise (starting at £5) and you'll get a message to "start fuelling". The pump will automatically stop when it reaches your maximum spend limit. That's it, now you can simply drive away. All details of the transaction will be stored in the app, including how much you paid, how many litres use, and even build up loyalty points for discounts on further fuelling up trips. Source

While it's one of the biggest makers of fitness trackers, Jawbone doesn't offer quite as many options as its main rival, Fitbit. It only has four core products to choose from - the UP Move, UP2, UP3 and the newly launched UP4. You'd think the small selection would make the decision easier, but there's actually still a lot to consider before making a purchase. Because of that potentially awkward choice, we take a look at what makes each Jawbone stick out from the crowd, and determine which one is best suited for you. What each one offers All Jawbone trackers offer many of the same features. Given their primary focus as pedometers, they each count your steps and calories burned.

Some more M&A afoot in the media industry. Pearson has sold the Financial Times Group to Japan’s Nikkei Inc for £844 million ($1.3 billion) in cash. The news comes after a morning of fervent speculation that the Financial Times was on the block, with some speculating that Axel Springer would be the buyer. In addition to the iconic pink newspaper, the group includes the FT.com website, How to Spend It, FT Labs, FTChinese, the Confidentials and Financial Publishing (which includes The Banker, Investors Chronicle, MandateWire, Money-Media, Medley Global Advisors and more). It will not include Pearson’s 50% stake in the economist or the FT’s offices on the banks of the River Thames in London. However this sale will lead to questions about the future of those assets, too, especially as Pearson itself has said that going forward it will focus on its education business. “Pearson has been a proud proprietor of the FT for nearly 60 years. But we’ve reached an inflection point in media...

Twitter is announcing a straightforward way for advertisers to join in the conversation around major events. Not that the service has lacked ads around, say, the Super Bowl. But Ameet Ranadive, the company’s senior director of revenue products, said that until now, buying those ads has been a “very manual” process, with advertisers piecing together the right keywords, Twitter handles and geographies to target. On the other hand, with Twitter’s new event targeting, anyone with a Twitter Ads account can browse a calendar of upcoming events, look at data around the size and demographics of the Twitter audience around each event — then, if they like what they see, they can target an ad campaign at that audience. Ranadive said Twitter looks at “a variety of user engagement signals” to identify that audience — it’s not just people who are tweeting, but also those who are looking for and engaging with content around the event. And event coverage will expand over time. (Twitter says it...

Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos once famously said that in order to be a $200 billion company, Amazon had to learn how to sell clothes and food. And while the company has been steadily growing the latter business with initiatives like Amazon Fresh, today it took a step down the catwalk to build up the former. Amazon has opened up a new photography studio in Shoreditch, London — a 46,000 square-foot venue with 22 photography bays that Amazon says is one of the largest of its kind in Europe and will help it create and add more than 500,000 images of clothes to its sites every year. As you can see in the picture above, the studio is a brick structure: it dates to 1850 and was built under the arches of the Hoxton railway line and is leased from Transport for London, the city’s transportation authority. The site was derelict before Amazon got a hold of it, but has also in the past been home to a glass factory and a steam train workshop, both of which seem kind of apt when you consider both ...

The seeds of a venture investment scene are beginning to sprout at the early stage in Latin America and now countries like Colombia and Chile are taking steps  to make sure young companies can take root. Chief among these initiatives is a new push by the Colombian financial services firm Bancoldex, the once-state-owned bank of Colombia, which is working to raise a $500 million fund-of-funds designed to spur private equity and venture capital investment in its home country. It’s the latest plan from a Latin American country to drive foreign investment into the region’s economies. Around the world, developing nations are embracing private investment in startups and growth stage companies as an engine of economic development, and are increasingly looking to foreign capital to bring some experienced swagger to their nascent private markets. “Latin American investors are not used to tech companies — they’re used to seeing things like patents or liquid assets that give you a lowe...

It may have taken two years, but Google has finally launched its 360-degree video and film app, Spotlight Stories, on iOS. Originally developed by Motorola as a "new storytelling platform," the app was introduced by Google in late 2013 for Motorola phones, only expanding to include all Android devices earlier this year. The app features 2D and 3D animated films, including 'Windy' which was made by ex-Pixar folk, and a new live-action film 'Help', made by Fast and the Furious franchise director Justin Lin. Spotlight Stories is available from the App Store on devices that have iOS 8.0 or higher. The app and all videos are free, though it should be noted that Google may start charging for the films, as the app says 'Help' is only "free for a limited time."

The arrival of new hardware usually comes with releases for hardware accessories and it's no different with the Apple Watch. Charging docks seem to be the hot Apple wearable item and it seems like manufacturers will soon be able to make their add-ons more useful. Currently, Apple Watch charging docks require a work-around to make Apple's proprietary charging module to sit comfortably. According to 9to5mac, Apple will allow companies to incorporate the module directly into their designs through the Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod (MFi) licensing program. This should take effect by the end of the year where more useful charge docks should start popping up without the need for you own watch charge cord. Hopefully accessory companies will also take watchOS 2 into consideration and allow charge docks to sit horizontally. The upcoming fall update will allow the Watch to enter Nightstand mode, turning into a mini alarm clock where the Digital Crown becomes a snooze button and the si...

A security flaw at the heart of contactless credit cards could allow criminals to steal vital data -- and ultimately money -- despite the presence of supposedly watertight systems to mask that information. The consumer watchdog Which? reports that it was able to use commercial card scanners available online to steal enough data from 10 contactless cards to successfully order a £3,000 TV. Researchers for Which? were able to touch its volunteers' cards to a standard reader, and then go on an "internet shopping spree" despite not having access to the three digit security code on the reverse of the card, or even the name and address of the owner. "With these card details, the contactless transaction limit [currently £10, moving to £30 in September] is irrelevant, because online transactions aren’t contactless," a spokesman told the Guardian. The UK Card Association (UCA) reports that there are now more than 44.8 million contactless cards in the UK, accountin...

Adobe Flash is edging closer to the digital grave. Not only has Mozilla blocked all versions of the plugin, but gaming broadcaster Twitch has announced plans to move away from the format. The Amazon-owned service has taken a half-step away from Flash, redesigning its video player so that it uses HTML5 and Javascript. At the moment, this only affects player controls, with the actual video stream still in the much-maligned Adobe format, though eventually the entire Twitch experience will be delivered in HTML5. "This is an important step to releasing the much-anticipated full HTML5 player," the company says in a blog post. The new player has been planned for months, though the piecemeal rollout is due to the fact that Twitch has so heavily relied on Flash for years. In a post to Reddit, representative 'kixelated' said "The underlying HTML5 video playback works great and we've been testing it internally for a few months. The problem is that we do EVERYTHING...

Yes, it's back -- after a two-year upgrade program, CERN's Large Hadron Collider is once again operational. Scientists are only firing collision-free proton beams right now to test the new system, but they'll ramp up over the next few months to the point where they're smashing protons together at 13 teraelectronvolts -- about twice the energy the LHC managed in its first season. The machine will have a relatively short three years to operate before its next shutdown, but the higher output should help researchers explore antimatter, dark matter and other aspects of physics that are relatively untested. Given that the collider appears to have discovered the mysterious Higgs boson during its first run, we're hopeful that its second season has more breakthroughs in store. SOURCE

The long-rumored Apple TV update is expected to do many things, including run apps and stream a TV service, but there's one thing it isn't expected to do: play 4K video. A source for BuzzFeed News' John Paczkowski (who's historically accurate with such rumors) claims that Apple's upcoming media hub will stick to 1080p because 4K technology is "still in its infancy." While the A8 chip rumored to be in the device can handle the ultra-high resolution, the market just isn't there yet. Even Amazon and Netflix don't have a lot of 4K content, and there's also the question of finding enough people with both compatible TVs and sufficiently speedy internet access. That's disappointing if you were hoping to get a truly future-proof box, but it's hard to see Apple investing a lot of money into services that you probably won't use for a while. SOURCE

Even though everyone's streets probably won't convert into a Pac-Man-like grid, Google might be getting better at gags after years of trying and failing. SOURCE

A team at Stanford's School of Medicine has reportedly uncovered a potent new treatment method for combating one of leukemia's most aggressive forms -- and they did it pretty much by accident. While survival rates for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a particularly nasty form of white blood cell cancer, have risen to about 85 percent over the past decade thanks to the advent of stem cell therapies, the prognosis for this disease in the presence of a Philadelphia chromosome mutation remains quite poor. But thanks to a chance observation by Dr. Scott McClellan, the Stanford team believes it's figured out way to neutralize the disease using its own cancerous cells against it. The research effort began when, in the lab one day, McClellan noticed that a number of leukemic cells had transformed from cancerous cells into "mature" macrophages. These are a type of immune cell tasked with not only directly consuming cellular debris, pathogens and cancers but also ...
