...adult stem cells and making them capable of creating tissues for all parts of the body without the use of viruses or cancer-causing genes. Harvard Medical School professor Konrad A. Hochedlinger recently discovered how long adult mouse stem cells need to be exposed to reprogramming factors before they convert to a pluripotent, embryonic-like state, at which point they can be potentially used for medical treatments. According to Hochedlinger, his lab set out to unveil the mysteries of the reprogramming process a little more than six months ago. “Nobody knew which genes were involved...
...practical: It would have been a costly endeavor, and the building houses several high-tech labs and faculty offices, primarily for the university's department of engineering science and mechanics, one of the school's largest programs. The school closed the building for several months. Now, it plans to convert the building's second floor into a center for peace and violence prevention studies. The dormitory suite where two students were murdered is also being reconfigured. "It will be something completely different," says Larry Hincker, Virginia Tech's assistant vice president for university relations. "There are a lot of people...
...remodel it. It cannot be repurposed. It's just a shell. It didn't take too long to come to the conclusion we needed to raze the building and perhaps build a new one." But, some observers ask, might it be possible - and more cost-efficient - to convert the two lecture halls into a collection of smaller classrooms? And why spend so much money tearing down a building that is still structurally sound? Leicht, the NIU senior, says he sensed little university effort to solicit an array of student opinions about Cole Hall's fate. Instead of tearing it down...
...free throws, and now Penn can't convert. Another nice drive by Gaines, but he misses the jumper this time. Then, two more free throws by Unger and Harvard's got this game. Harvard 87, Penn...
...Penn's Kevin Egge has a pretty move. He drives down the right baseline, in the air moves the ball to his left hand and converts, despite being fouled by Drew Housman. He hits the free throw to convert the three-point play. This followed a short jumper by Penn's Andreas Schreiber. It ain't over yet. Harvard 67, Penn...
