While the Corps insisted that most of the bones remain in the museum, it allowed the researchers to send the skull fragments and the right hip, along with its embedded spear point, to a lab in Lincolnshire, Ill., for ultrahigh-resolution CT scanning. The process produced virtual slices just 0.39 mm (about 0.02 in.) thick - "much more detailed than the ones made of King Tut's mummy," says Owsley. The slices were then digitally recombined into 3-D computer images that were used to make exact copies out of plastic. The replica of the skull has already enabled scientists...
...that the casinos won’t know or care if I return.” Indeed, Liu seems out of the pit bosses’ reach here at Harvard. “I’ve certainly never seen any gambling goons with baseball bats come around the lab looking to get even,” said Brian N. Tse, a 4th year grad student and Liu’s advisee. But even if Liu says he doesn’t need to worry about “a large, one-eyed man named Vinnie” breaking...
...increased amounts of proliferating cells, while those that lacked the Prp(c) gene had lower amounts of cell formation, yet grew into normal adults. Lindquist said this indicates healthy prions must have a function that is not essential to the survival of the cell. A post-doc in the lab, Andrew Steele, proposed the study three years ago. Lindquist said Steele became interested in the normal function of prions after noticing high concentrations of healthy prions in stem cells. In an e-mail, Steele said the lab might now study the function of the Prp(c) gene in adult stem...
Regardless of how much the word “vagina” is associated with the negative connotations of sterile doctors in lab coats, this production of “Monologues” boils down to a well directed, powerful piece of acting; a show bursting with feeling and spirit that also happens to have an empowering take-home message...
...useless.”But the University denied charges of abusive practices. John Lacey, associate director of public affairs for media relations at HMS, said that although the center’s “broad and diverse” portfolio of research might include drug experimentation, the primate lab did not addict its animals to drugs.The primate lab is “currently working toward an HIV vaccine and other critical human health advances,” according to a statement released by HMS, as well as exploring health concerns of “non-human primates...
