...immediate benefit of Hwang's work, assuming it can be replicated, will be to better understand how diseases develop. "Rather than having to study the patient or freshly dissected tissues from that patient, we can have a cell line of stem cells that can grow virtually forever," says Hans Keirstead, a neurobiologist at the University of California, Irvine...
...scientists' morale is perhaps the highest, worries linger about the lack of federal backing and the possibility that Congress could someday trump state law with nationwide restrictions. That discourages some young scientists who are deciding whether to specialize in stem-cell work. "Students are scared to commit," says Hans Keirstead, a spinal-cord researcher at the University of California at Irvine. "They don't know if the laws are going to change, and I can't fully dispel those fears...
...Keirstead is doing his best by demonstrating the field's potential. He and his team published details earlier this month of how they helped paralyzed rats walk again by using human embryonic stem cells to aid regeneration of spinal-cord tissue. That is a tiny step, at best, toward therapies for people but, Keirstead says, "I've never seen anything that looks as good as the human embryonic stem cell." He can only hope that policymakers, too, will agree. --By Jeff Chu. With reporting by Eric Ferkenhoff/ Chicago, Elisabeth Kauffman/ Nashville and Terry McCarthy/ Los Angeles
Central Connecticut didn't dog it either, jumping out to a 16-3 lead. Harvard rebounded with slim victories from Tim Keirstead at 150-lbs., John Freeman at 158-lbs., and David George at 167-lbs. Keirstead and George needed third-period escapes to edge their opponents by a point, while Freeman cruised to an 11-9 decision...
Harvard was led by two-victory performances from Todd Cameron at 118-Ibs. and Tim Keirstead at 150-Ibs. With Harvard on the low side of a 13-3 score against the Tigers, Keirstead scored a reversal with nine seconds left in the match, giving him a 5-4 victory and sparking the Crimson comeback...
