Tedeschi - who in 1995 played the harrowing role of a jailed Red Brigades terrorist - likened the embrace of extremist ideology to the descent into drug addiction, suggesting redemption from both...
Researchers also questioned whether iPS would work with delicate cells from older people or with cells taken from patients with disease (Yamanaka used skin cells from healthy middle-aged people in his study). Eggan and Henderson tackled both issues at once, by working with cells from two siblings, ages 82 and 89, who both had ALS. It turned out that generating iPS cells from older patients proved no more difficult than growing them from younger ones, says Eggan. "This study puts those issues definitively to rest," he says. "It opens the door to being able to make patient-specific stem...
...cell donors—82 and 89—gave the findings added significance, as some scientists had predicted using cells from older patients would complicate the creation of stem lines, according to Eggan...
...South. But in Italy, another old world still coming back to life after World War II, he sifted the rubble for a pictorial language that could reach back much farther, past civilization itself. Like the French artist Jean Dubuffet, he found it in graffiti, a scrawl that felt older and wilder than antiquity.
