DIED. Perry Henzell, 70, Jamaican director whose 1972 movie, The Harder They Come, the first-ever Jamaican-produced feature film, introduced reggae to a global audience; of bone-marrow cancer; in St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica. The movie--which featured songs like You Can Get It If You Really Want and Many Rivers to Cross--helped pave the way for Bob Marley's international breakthrough and launched the career of singer Jimmy Cliff. Its sound track was recently placed on TIME.com's list of 100 best albums in history...
...only protein that you use 24 hours a day in a savory and a sweet." That versatility explains why pain perdu - an authentically French version of French toast - makes a regular appearance on the French Laundry menu. But it's never ordinary. Cooked with bone marrow, tomatoes or truffles, it is hard to recognize as a variation on French toast in the first place. Other New York chefs' inspired takes on morning food range from the minimalist sable and coddled eggs, served as the second course at Telepan, to the spectacular sea scallops "benedict" appetizer at davidburke & donatella, which starts...
...said Kenneth R. Chien ’73, the senior author of the paper and the director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at MGH, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Current therapies for recovering damaged heart tissue due to disorders such as heart attacks involve injection of bone marrow or blood cells and are largely ineffective, experts say. However, the findings of the MGH and Children’s Hospital studies could move scientists closer to being able to regenerate damaged heart tissues using stem cell therapies.

...Harvard Bone Marrow Initiative (HBMI) will hold donor registration in the undergraduate Houses for the first time tomorrow. The initiative, founded this school year, designated this month its Bone Marrow Destination Month and will attempt to recruit bone marrow donors from across the University. The initiative focuses particularly on people from ethnic minorities since minority patients are less likely to find a match, according to HBMI co-chair Julie Goswami ’08. The effort involves the Harvard Cancer Society, Harvard South Asian Association, Harvard Asian American Association, Asian American Brotherhood, Black Students’ Association, and Fuerza Latina...
...cell field in recent years, embryos aren't the only source of these versatile mother-cells. Political leanings aside, researchers are beginning to appreciate that many tissues in the body have their own stem cells. Blood cells, for example, derive from a single hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow, and now two groups of scientists from Boston report that they have identified a similar mother stem cell from which most heart cells arise. Working with mice, one group at Massachusetts General Hospital isolated a cardiac stem cell that generates the three major cell types of the mammalian heart, while...
