...year’s end, the University’s Allston planners are expected to release a master plan for the new Allston campus. We hope that their report will address a looming issue: what, if anything, will be done with Soldiers Field Road, the four-lane, limited-access parkway that snakes between the Charles River and the Business School. If Allston is to become a central part of Harvard’s campus instead of a mere satellite locale, University planners should, with the support of city and Commonwealth officials, accelerate existing plans to place this massively obstructive presence...
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have discovered in mice what they believe to be cardiac master cells, which have the potential of developing into the three different types of heart tissue. The breakthrough study, which will be published in the Dec. 15 issue of the journal Cell, raises hopes for new and far more effective drug and regenerative treatments for heart diseases. Scientists at Children’s Hospital Boston also independently discovered a different stem cell line that develops into two main cell types that form the heart. The results of the studies challenge the previous notion that...
...even if the heart is created from these master stem cells, scientists still have to master the process of recreating the normal development of heart tissue in the lab. They have to understand the delicate and perfectly timed steps involved in coaxing some stem cells to develop into heart blood vessels, while guiding others on the path to becoming the steadily beating heart muscle that methodically pumps blood to the entire human body...
...works in question include four paintings by the Viennese master Gustav Klimt, and a famous Berlin street scene by the German expressionist Ernest Ludwig Kirchner sold earlier this month for nearly $50 million. So-called "restituted" art - pieces either directly looted by Nazis, or ones their owners were forced to sell for below-market value to escape Hitler's regime - made up more than half of the record $491 million total sale at Christie's in New York earlier this month. Last summer, Klimt's most famous painting, the "Golden Adele," which had hung in a Vienna museum for more...
