MANHATTAN, KAN. - It's a pretty safe bet you won't hear this request from your kids: "More liver, please." If by chance you do, they'll be no shortage of the iron-rich delicacy most kids love to hate, thanks to a vaccine developed by a Kansas State University professor. T.G.

According to Gilliland, while PV, ET and MMM are rare, their prevalence is about five times higher than CML, with about 100,000 cases in the U.S. each year.
