...arts as a career is to constantly and consistently follow and work on the craft as an artist. You also simultaneously have to be an entrepreneur now more than ever because of the new media and technology, because you can indeed create your own film almost on your cell phone...
...thirteen total lines approved by the NIH constitute the first batch of new stem cell sources authorized for funding since 2001, when former President George W. Bush prohibited the approval of new stem cell lines. Twenty-seven more lines developed at Harvard are slated for approval in the next few weeks...
Prior to the most recent group of approved stem cell lines, only 22 lines had been eligible for federal funding, according to Harvard Medical School associate professor George Q. Daley ’82, director of the Children’s Hospital lab that oversaw the development of the recently approved lines...
...Stem-Cell-Created Mice The birth of yet another laboratory mouse is hardly worth noting - unless the furry creature is the first to be developed from stem cells that do not involve embryonic cells. That deserves to be called a breakthrough. The new pups, whose creation in two separate labs in China was announced in July, were the first to be bred from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These are adult cells (usually skin cells) that scientists reprogram back to their embryonic state by introducing four genes. The reprogrammed stem cells are then programmed again to develop into mice...
...disease, the type that hits people in their 60s or later and accounts for 90% of Alzheimer's cases in the U.S. Two of the genes are known to interact with the amyloid-protein plaques that build up in the brain of Alzheimer's patients and eventually cause nerve-cell death and cognitive problems. The third affects the junction of nerve cells, where various neurochemicals work to relay signals from one nerve cell to another. It's not clear yet exactly how the genes increase Alzheimer's risk - in fact, most healthy people have some version of the three genes...
