NEW YORK  - Mice exposed to stress and  ultraviolet radiation develop skin cancer significantly faster  than do animals exposed to radiation only, researchers have  found. They suggest this may be relevant to people at high risk  of skin cancer.

An experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease seemed to improve symptoms &#151; dramatically so, for one 59-year-old man &#151; without causing side effects in an early study of a dozen patients. The gene therapy treatment involved slipping billions of copies of a gene into the brain to calm overactive brain circuitry.
