...cells called reactive astrocytes, which block the growth of damaged nerve fibers. Curiously, the rats need their dose of radiation during the third week following the injury. If the x-rays are administered later, the treatment does not work. None of the rats made a full recovery, admitted Dr. Nurit Kalderon who conducted the research, because that would have required therapy, not practical with rats. Extensive work and more research is needed before the study can be applied to humans. "The results are interesting because of what they reveal about how the spinal cord behaves in injury," says TIME...
...censor addressing students in Tel Aviv had no idea that Nurit Dovrat, a reporter for the daily Ma'ariv (circ. 200,000) was taking notes of his remarks. When her story about the speech appeared last week, after the name of the talkative censor and some of his other remarks had been deleted by a more prudent Israeli censor, the news set off a clatter of protest...
...Cornell researchers, a young Israeli chemist named Akiba Bar-Nun and his biochemist wife Nurit, tested the theory in a relatively simple experiment. They filled one end of a brass-and-Pyrex tube with a mixture of ammonia, methane, ethane and water vapor-all probable ingredients of the earth's early atmosphere. A thin plastic membrane separated the gases from the other end of the tube, which contained chemically inert helium. The Bar-Nuns increased the helium pressure until the membrane broke. This produced a shock wave that swept into the gaseous mixture at high speed, momentarily creating temperatures...
