...decided to test Mail Goggles in the most systematic way possible. I surrendered my Saturday night to research, experimentation and the scientific method...
Scientists have been exploring alternatives to the traditional—but harmful—retrovirus approach since researchers first reprogrammed human skin cells with the method late last year. Integrating these viruses into the cells' DNA causes permanent genetic manipulation, which can trigger malignant tumor growth, making them unsafe for human use. Scientists ultimately hope to clear this hurdle and treat a wide variety of human diseases by transplanting body tissues created from stem cells. Only three weeks ago, Harvard Medical School professor Konrad A. Hochedlinger and his colleagues at HSCI reported that they created mouse iPS cells using harmless...
Matthias Stadtfeld, the lead author for Hochedlinger’s paper on the use of harmless adenoviruses, cautioned that the efficiency of producing iPS cells using this method is “already very, very...
Still in the early stages of her work, Huangfu said that it is too difficult to tell which method scientists would ultimately prefer...
That makes arms deals far more difficult to track. But Griffiths says one tactic could work in nabbing arms traffickers: the "Al Capone method." When the U.S. justice system failed to convict the 1930s mobster for racketeering and murder charges, he was finally run in for tax evasion. Griffiths says arms traffickers have one obvious vulnerability: their need to ship arms on boats and planes, most of which require registration. When the E.U. introduced strict safety standards for air-cargo carriers two years ago, its leaders weren't thinking of arms dealers. Yet of the scores of companies they have...
