...University of Sao Paulo, is the first to successfully treat type 1 diabetes patients with their own stem cells. The group first reported its initial achievement in 2007, with 15 type 1 diabetes patients who received their own stem cells and no longer needed insulin to control their blood sugar levels. In the new study, a follow-up of their previous work, Voltarelli and his colleagues detailed the same success with an additional eight patients, and also confirmed that in the majority of them, the stem cell transplant led to an appreciable repopulation of functioning insulin-producing beta cells...

According to Kahn, he and his team will look into creating a technique...

One female zombie gnawed at a bloody heart. One protester held a sign that read "Easter is for candy, not for zombies"—but the individual was inevitably drawn into the masses, soon staggering forward as yet another soulless human shell...
...offered by heartfelt art. At the end of their march, the zombies began to dance to the flute-tooting of some musicians in the Square—"in a kinda zombie-esque way," as Bennett described it. Around 1:30, the zombies began to disperse, leaving behind streaks of blood on road signs and the glass panes of a bus stop...
