Just as important as protecting healthy neurons is repairing or replacing nerve cells that have been damaged. The body produces a whole bath of trophic--or growth--factors that help cells develop. If the brains of Parkinson's patients could be fortified with additional trophic doses, many scientists believe, damaged neurons might be reawakened or repaired. While there is some thought in the medical community about engineering genes to churn out the substances, the pharmaceutical industry is taking a more direct approach...
...arrive at my hotel in Rio de Janeiro, the first person I see in the lobby is Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M. He's standing near the concierge desk at the Copacabana Palace wearing a green T-shirt and white bath slippers with blue straps.

The friend told police that she heard clothes rustling before the door swung open and the alleged victim bolted from the bathroom "with her eyes very big and a look of panic on her face...
...more than 3.5 billion years. Why should lakes be important on a planet that we already knew had rivers and seas? Because the newly discovered formations precisely resemble the sedimentary depressions that have yielded some of Earth's richest fossil lodes. If life once thrived in the relatively warm bath of Mars' early lakes, these geological layer cakes are where we are most likely to find its remains...
