Daily News… YOUNG GIRL’S ‘CURE’ SIGNALS NEW PATH AGAINST CANCER Emily Whitehead is kind of a big deal. At age seven, she is the only child to have beaten back leukemia with the help of a new treatment that turned her own immune cells into targeted cancer killers. She has been in remission for 11 months and is the first pediatric patient in a growing US trial that is showing signs of success after decades of research and now includes three other children and dozens of adults. Her mother said Emily sometimes grapples with her newfound celebrity, which ballooned after the trial’s results were first announced late last year. «When we go to places where there are a lot of people, sometimes they want pictures with her, or sometimes just to touch her, so I think it gets a little overwhelming,» Kari Whitehead told AFP. For the most part though, Emily is happy to play with her dog, read, write and explore outdoors, thanks to an experimental treatment that saved her life after two relapses left doctors admitting they had no other options. Now, the US researchers behind the method are expanding their quest for a next-generation cancer treatment that may require one dose in a lifetime, and may one day end the use of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants. While the word «cure» is something most experts would not whisper until a patient has lived at least five years illness-free, the field of research into targeted immune therapies is generating buzz. Work at the University of Pennsylvania is supported by Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis, which last year announced an exclusive global deal to license chimeric antigen receptor technologies for leukemia and other cancers. Novartis is also funding a $20 million center for research at the University of Pennsylvania as part of the agreement.

International News… CARDBOARD COPS Police in India’s high-tech hub Bangalore are trying a new way to reduce traffic offences -- using cardboard cops to scare drivers into believing the long arm of the law is watching them. Road deaths have surged in India despite a low rate of car ownership with a lethal combination of poor law enforcement, untrained drivers and bad roads making the country one of the world’s leading centres of road deaths. Many Indian drivers will only obey traffic rules if they think law enforcers will reach out and apprehend them «and we can’t be omnipresent».
SEAL PUP FOUND IN FOREST A seal pup was found in a forest in eastern Sweden on Sunday almost six kilometres (four miles) from the closest body of open water, raising questions as to how it got there. «A somewhat confused person called and said he was out walking in the woods where he had found a seal pup. I thought he was joking at first,» Uppsala police inspector Henrik Pederson told news agency TT. Hunter Robert Sandefors, who was asked by police to take care of the pup, said the seal had probably made its way into the woods on its own, based on tracks visible in the snow.
