Stanford researchers found an antibody that was found to dramatically shrink or eradicate human cancer tumors that were transplanted into laboratory mice, no matter which type of cancer created the tumor. The research is unique in the variety of solid cancers that responded to the antibody.

New Zealand scientists have developed tiny "light" particles that can seek out and destroy cancer cells. Victoria University synthetic chemist Richard Tilley said researchers had established the tools to detect cancer when it was at the stage of a single diseased cell - well ahead of some MRI scans.
The largest clinical trial ever to administer genetically altered cells into humans with HIV revealed that the therapy was safe and effective and may lead to a cure for HIV. The test involving 74 patients at UCLA was hailed as a "major advance in the field" of HIV research.
A new stem cell treatment reverses Alzheimer-like memory impairment in mice, according to researchers at the University of South Florida and James A. Haley Hospital. Based on the promising findings, the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation is funding a pilot clinical trial on humans.
Any list of the top achievements in science and energy is a list that glows with promise and hope. 2008 is no different. The year provided the Good News Network with many stories, from the health-related, to transportation and energy-related, that struck us with awe and inspiration. Here are ten of the best:

Capsaicin, the compound that makes you sweat and your tounge burn after eating habanero peppers, is responsible for inducing the death of prostate cancer cells.
Two women losing their sight to progressive forms of blindness may have regained some vision while participating in an experiment testing a treatment made from human embryonic stem cells, the first time researchers directly helped patients with these types of stem cells.
Kathleen Mahoney, a graduate nursing student at the University of Pennsylvania, was recently honored by the Points of Light Foundation for her work in Boa Vista, Brazil and the Javari region dealing with disease epidemics and other health issues.
