...indeed possible to take a skin cell from an adult patient and tweak it to revert to an embryonic-type cell, that would mean that any patient needing a stem-cell-based treatment could, in theory, heal himself. Last year, Yamanaka was the first to announce success with this approach, by exposing the cells to four growth factors and nutrients. But the stem cells he generated were genetically abnormal and unstable. Building on the initial technique, Yamanaka's group, as well as those led by Rudolph Jaenisch at Whitehead and Konrad Hochedlinger at HSCI, showed that the process does indeed...
...what if he does? What if he could take who he is now, all that he's learned, and carry it back into the maelstrom? Could he stay as he is or would he revert? What if he launched a new kind of campaign: no handlers, just the liberated Gore talking about what really matters to him? Would he seem too squishy?

If the free market can protect Israel’s airports, where screeners are run by private companies, there’s no reason to believe it can’t guard American ones...
...target demographic, but I have been a subscriber for a while and noticed the many formatting changes. I feel that readers have been robbed of a battle-tested magazine structure. I'm well aware that at this point, far too much money and time have been invested to revert to the old order, but the magazine now feels like a sellout to tabloid-size pictures and overzealous fonts.
