Glowing cats...?

09-11-2011, 15:59

I read some pretty weird things in PhysOrg, but this one got my attention and when I read it I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Don't know why it struck me that way actually. My former spouse liked cats and we had several...just the idea is funny. Check out the glowing toenails in the bottom photo.

Glowing cats help in fight against AIDS, other diseases

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a genome-based immunization strategy to fight feline AIDS and illuminate ways to combat human HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The goal is to create cats with intrinsic immunity to the feline AIDS virus. The findings -- called fascinating and landmark by one reviewer -- appear in the current online issue of Nature Methods.

Now I think about it, likely someone will patent the glowing part and be selling the kittens for $10,000 each.
