...scientists’ research emphasized the possibility of “creating cell lines for the study and treatment of disease without the many ethical dilemmas associated with the creation and destruction of embryos.” In a letter addressed to two Congressmen, Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Kevin C. Eggan, Medical School Assistant Professor Chad A. Cowan, and Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences Douglas A. Melton wrote that they were “surprised” to see their work “used to support arguments that research involving human embryonic stem cells...
...genes expressed in the mouse brain. Want to know where in the brain a specific gene is active? The ABA has it, in vivid three-dimensional color. Curious about what types of brain cells are actively expressing a particular gene? The atlas provides molecular-level data that tell you. "Even though it's a mouse project, it really is a wonderful resource for human genetics and human biology and for understanding the brain in both the healthy and disease states," says Robert Williams, a neurobiologist at the University of Tennessee...
...world's other star molecular gastronomist, Heston Blumenthal of London's Fat Duck, largely avoided the question of technology versus taste, instead focusing on a new element in his ongoing quest to generate emotion through food. He introduced a new reservation system for his restaurant that involves a website tour and aromatizers filled with candy scents. It's all part of a plan to create excitement even before the client walks in the restaurant door. "The one thing I want a customer to say is that they had fun," said Blumenthal...
...twice as easily as those who don't). But, more valuably-in part by drawing on friends and philosophers from Europe and Asia-he shows us, in practical ways, how we can make our lives more fulfilling. Ricard started out as a French intellectual who received a doctorate in molecular biology and counted Luis Bu?uel, Igor Stravinsky and Henri Cartier-Bresson among his friends. But 35 years ago he went to Nepal to become a Buddhist monk. When a European scientist from the Himalayas takes us into the meaning of well-being, the result is something that does not belong...
...grave post from East Timor, a tree carving from the American South, and ceramic pottery from sources as far-flung as Jamaica and the Himalayas line the office walls of Robert A. Lue, a senior lecturer on molecular and cellular biology...
