there are many mouse models of alzheimer's disease.know that this kind of radiation appears to be safe. i know there has been concerns about the effects of cell phone use on brain tumors. so, but given the widespread usage of it, don't think it would be that difficult to create a human study for this. >> yeah. i was just going to go there to the concern of brain tumors. are there different electromagnetic waves that are sent out that would be more directly responsible for what we found out about brain tumors or not? >> well, they used standard cell phone kind of waves here in this study. >> very interesting. dr. alan j. learner, thank you for joining us there from the case medical center. we appreciate that. >> my pleasure. thank you. >>> in a moment, star nba players gun play and horse play gets them into trouble. we'll look at the bigger issue of guns in sports here on msnbc saturday. so. how were your holidays? great!... eating, from thanksgiving to new year's. lots of mom's rich food. i do love to cook! but now i'm feeling a little
