...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...
...chip kicker,” a specialized robot that can propel the ball into the air. RoboCup isn’t all fun and electronic games, however. Tang says that he’s been putting in eight to ten hours per day in their Pierce Hall lab. “I don’t go to class, I go to required sections, and then I come to the [robot] lab,” he says, almost robotically. While some members manage to find time for other activities, others acknowledge robots have an all-consuming grip over their souls...
...they’re not going to necessarily reproduce the iconography of the Cambridge campus,” he said.Hyman said the Harvard Stem Cell Institute needed its own space because federal restrictions on stem cell research make it difficult for scientists who study stem cells to share lab space with federally-funded researchers.“It’s led to situations where a graduate student in the middle of an experiment can’t use a particular piece of equipment,” Hyman said.Harvard also confirmed Friday that it would temporarily locate some...
