...Harvard professor of cell biology and pediatrics, Mark T. Keating, and an instructor in pediatrics at the Harvard-affiliated Children’s Hospital, Felix Engel, administered two drugs to rats who had suffered induced heart attacks. One of the drugs targets p38 MAP kinase, an enzyme that prevents heart muscle cells from undergoing cellular division. The other is FGF1, a growth factor that promotes the creation of new blood vessels...
Heart muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, “need a blood supply and oxygen to survive,” said Engel. “FGF1 did not have a great effect on cell proliferation, but we found it was providing a new blood supply. If you just inhibit p38 MAP kinase, you don’t get blood vessels...
...better for specialty remodelers, who can target deep-pocketed consumers like Mike Engel of Bend, Ore. When he decided to fix up his three-car garage, he characterized it as a "dumping ground and completely dysfunctional." So extreme was the clutter that of his three vehicles, he could fit only the Porsche inside. Engel contacted Mike Maxwell, owner of Garage Improvement, a Garage Envy dealer in Oregon, who completed the makeover this July for $15,500. Maxwell added stain-resistant rubber flooring, cabinetry, recessed lighting and a hot-and-cold water faucet so Engel could wash his cars...
...Margaret Engel, managing editor of the Newseum, an Arlington, Va.-based interactive news museum said there are more important things to consider, like images that seemingly cast a divide between black and white survivors. Two in particular were now-infamous captions placed with Agence France-Presse and Associated Press photos. The AFP photo caption described two whites as "finding" food, while the AP caption described a black youth as "looting" a store...
...That to me is much more troubling than reporters quoting cops who didn't really know," said Engel. "I think you'll find that some of the stories on that day of looting were wildly overstated. It's not good that the press reported that, but it is a footnote to the overall coverage which riveted the nation over the lack of response." She added: "I think for Congress to cast the media response as rumor-mongering is to miss the forest for the trees...
