Melton's confidence is testament to the extraordinary advances in stem-cell science, some of which have brought the promise of breakthrough therapies for conditions like diabetes, Parkinson's and heart disease closer than ever before. The cells filling petri dishes in freezers and incubators in Melton's lab and others around the world are so vastly different - in provenance, programming and potential - from the stem cells of just two years ago that even the scientists leading this biological revolution marvel at the pace at which they are learning, and in some cases relearning, rules of development. Until recently...
...today the field encompasses far more than just embryonic and adult stem cells; it has expanded into the broader field of regenerative medicine, and Melton's lab at Harvard is at the vanguard, bringing the newest type of stem cells, which do not rely on embryos at all, closer to the clinic, where patients will actually benefit. Last summer, Melton stunned the scientific community with yet another twist, finding a way to generate new populations of cells by reprogramming one type of fully mature cell so it simply became another, bypassing stem cells altogether. "If I were in high school...
Early tests had shown that the powder was negative for anthrax and other hazardous material, but authorities were not able to confirm the powder’s chemical makeup for another few days, when final lab results came in, Neely said...
...schools in New York City and applied to Princeton only to be waitlisted. Instead the 6'4" Parsons enrolled at the University of Hawaii at the age of 16, where he played basketball. He chose Hawaii, he told the New York Times, because a pretty girl who was his lab partner in had grown up there...
Authorities have determined that the powder tested negative for anthrax, and an e-mail sent to the law school community said "there is no indication that the material is hazardous." But authorities will not be able to confirm the powder's chemical makeup for another few days, when final lab results are in, Neely said...
