Researchers from Harvard and Columbia have moved one step closer to discovering the cause of the fatal neurodegenerative Lou Gehrig’s disease through a novel use of embryonic stem cells from mice. Supporters of embryonic stem cell research have long pointed to the potential to use these cells to directly treat diseases of the nervous system. But the Harvard and Columbia teams assert that stem cells have a broader application in providing critical information for understanding many other human diseases. The researchers have harnessed stem cells from mice embryos, which can develop into any kind of tissue...

Despite what the score said, we really feel like we’re on the verge of breaking open the Ivy League and really making a difference...
Charbonneau said that regardless of any discrepancies, Barman’s paper will help advance astronomy by forcing a closer comparison between predictions of atmospheres on extrasolar planets with actual data gathered by observatories. CORRECTION: The April 13 news article "Water Found in Planet's Skies" incorrectly quoted astronomer Travis Barman. He said that Assistant Professor of Astronomy David Charbonneau had discovered an extrasolar planet's atmosphere, not that Charbonneau had discovered an extrasolar planet...
