...they may provide valuable clues to the causes of male infertility. Nayernia's group is now working on creating sperm from the skin cells of infertile men (the sperm cells in the current study were generated from embryos discarded by fertility clinics), and by studying the way those sperm develop, researchers may gain insight into the origins of infertility and potential new treatments. Theoretically, for example, if sperm could be created from the cells of a cancer patient who is rendered infertile by chemotherapy, they could be grown in a lab and still enable him to father children...
...eventually be able to fertilize an egg successfully - the ultimate measure of similarity between IVD sperm and normal sperm. (Nayernia is currently testing whether mouse eggs fertilized with IVD sperm can lead to a healthy animal.) If the researcher can generate human IVD sperm that look like normally developed sperm and can get the artificially created germ cells to fertilize an egg, then he can allow the resulting embryo to develop for 14 days - according to U.K. law, embryos created for research purposes must be destroyed at that point. "We would need to study that embryo before we provide...
...reform state government, to rein in the rate of government growth that our state had been on - it was a trajectory that was going to put our state in dire straits if we couldn't rein it in. So we did that. We adopted an agenda that would responsibly develop our resources so that our state would be on good economic grounds but also in a position to more fully contribute toward energy independence for America. We have done that. We've reformed on a state-level government with ethics reform. My first year in office, we worked with...
...going to usher in. What he needs to be understanding is, we have the domestic supplies of energy in America. It's conventional sources - oil, gas, coal, it's nuclear - and we have the renewable sources here in America. But if we're not allowed to drill and develop those conventional sources in this transition period between now and when we can rely more on alternative sources, we're going to become more and more reliant on foreign sources of energy and importing more and more goods because they're going to be cheaper over there to produce...
...frontier of research into preventing severe mental illness [June 22]. It captures the excitement and promise of this new orientation within psychiatry. I wanted to offer a couple of clarifications: You state that those who met our criteria for risk of psychosis were 30 times as likely to develop the illness as those in the general population. Something got lost in translation in my interview with John Cloud; in fact, our research shows that such a person is more than 400 times as likely to develop psychosis. Also, the necessary critical mass of controlled, randomized clinical-trial treatment data...
