In the U.S., the defect is usually closed up right away, but in the developing world children often grow up with the hole. Until now, the solution was a heart/lung transplant, which has a high mortality rate. Batista suggests constricting the pulmonary artery to restrict the amount of oxygenated blood flowing back into the lungs, thus enabling the lungs to relax and heal themselves. Again, he believes the body will operate...
Early on, the researchers rejected the simplest method--suspending the cells in solution and injecting them into the eye--because cells handled in this fashion did not grow particularly well. The team found that it obtained much better results when it attached the cells to a sticky substrate like fibrinogen, a protein involved in blood clotting. "And then," says Ernest, "we made a serendipitous discovery." Dr. Karine Gabrielian, a physician on the team, had been struggling to fashion the thinnest possible slivers of fibrinogen. Checking on her samples one morning, she found that some of the slivers had curled...
...brain down and to the left. Leave it alone, and the cancer would keep compressing useful tissue inexorably, robbing the patient of speech, movement, consciousness, life itself--all within months. Try to cut it out, and there would be the risk of taking too little, leaving cancerous tissue to grow again, or taking too much, causing profound and irreparable brain damage...

But you probably won't find them at your local health-food store--not yet, anyway. And Talalay cautions do-it-yourselfers against trying to grow their own sprouts. Most broccoli seeds, he notes, are soaked in fungicides and pesticides...
