...problem is that the cocktail of genes that the HSCI team used to turn back the clock on the patients' skin cells work by integrating themselves into the genome of the skin cell with the help of a virus. Such embedding of foreign matter isn't ideal for a treatment designed for the clinic, since changes in the genome could result in a variety of potential problems, including the formation of tumors and uncontrolled cell growth. Melton's group, as well as those in other stem-cell labs around the world, are working to substitute these dangerous genes and viruses...
...associations, whose members warn that clinics - which are typically staffed by nurse practitioners and are positioned in stores that also sell prescriptions - will be inclined to misdiagnose and overprescribe. Worse, they are not built to provide long-term care for chronic conditions such as hypertension, and they threaten the ideal of a lasting doctor-patient relationship, denying consumers a so-called "medical home...

...emitted into the atmosphere. The federal government requires mining companies to restore exhausted mines to their former natural state. Electric utilities also claim that discoveries in coal gasification (the production of synthetic natural gas from coal) and carbon sequestration will dramatically reduce resultant greenhouse- gas emissions, rendering coal an ideal fuel for a post-cap-and-trade future...

Argote said the refurbished space would be available to students from 4 p.m. until its closing at 11 p.m., which she called ideal because the Forum—the school’s central student space—often closes at 4 p.m. for special events such as distinguished speakers. Argote also said administrators and students engaged in dialogue about the shift after it was announced, and student suggestions and preferences for the space were considered. As a result of those discussions, the space now has mobile tables to facilitate group studying and acoustical...
