...chose to track body weight, level of physical activity, multivitamin supplements, and certain dietary adjustments on the basis of past studies that correlated these factors with diabetes in women. The authors believed that these correlations were important because they speculated that sensitivity to insulin is also related to ovulatory function in women. Currently, Harvard University Dining Services works closely with HSPS and Willett to design meal plans. Not only are our dining halls free of trans fats, they also provide other fertility-friendly options daily, according to HUDS spokeswoman Crista Martin. These foods include low glycemic carbohydrates like whole grain...
...skin, cartilage, or heart - prefers a different environment to grow, made up of unique cocktails of growth factors, enzymes, proteins and other nutrients. Once the incubated cells have multiplied to a sufficient number, Atala puts them through a series of rigorous tests to ensure that they look, act and function just like their normally grown siblings in the body...
...first patients to receive Atala's regenerated organs were seven young children who were transplanted with bladders grown from their own cells. Eight years after their surgery, the children are doing well, and their bladders continue to function normally. Atala now has about 20 other tissues and organs in his lab almost ready for human trials, but he refuses to rush the technology. "Our goal is to transfer these technologies from bench to bedside in the fastest way possible," he says, "But we have gone slowly in these trials because we wanted to make sure that the tissues and organs...
...simply, a glorified toy. The Mac appeals to the technologically illiterate and the aesthetes who value form over function. Apple’s design is admittedly quite good, but pretty colors cannot make up for the total lack of computing power...
...first task was to design a machine that would allow kids to connect wirelessly to the Internet without an outside source of electricity, and that would be rugged enough to function in often harsh conditions. Prototypes of the laptop (dubbed XO) - with built-in video and audio, a hand-crank and low wattage requirements - are getting high marks from technology reviewers. Some 8,000 units are up and running in pilot villages from Cambodia to Uruguay. But perhaps an even more difficult task was to generate enough mass interest in the project to allow the computer to be produced...
