That's the strategy that Voltarelli's team tested. First, they carefully extracted a population of immune stem cells from the bone marrow of each diabetes patient. Then each person was treated with radiation, similar to the regimen that cancer patients receive, in order to destroy the immune system. Afterward, each patient received his own stem cells back by injection. The scientists traced blood levels of a protein, C-peptide, that beta cells produce, in order to confirm that whatever remaining beta cells the patient had were now able to grow again and repopulate the pancreas - and produce insulin.

...conservative governors like Palin, Jindal and South Carolina's Mark Sanford were attacked (in some cases by their own base) for threatening to reject - and in Sanford's case actually rejecting - some of Washington's stimulus dollars. As Congress takes up health-care reform, the party will face a similar dilemma about how best to challenge Democrats over an issue on which most Americans are expecting more, not less, help from Washington...
...While Mr. Diablo may have overestimated the purchasing power of Oregon’s vegan chauvinists—he recently put his strip club up for sale on craigslist—other prominent vegan activists display a similar willingness to exchange the objectification of animals for the objectification of women. Typically defended by the weak retort “sex sells,” these endeavors have prompted critics to brand veganism as a sexist ideology—a damaging charge given veganism’s place within a broader progressive program. PETA has unapologetically commandeered the female body...
...need not clash. If anything, exposing the objectification of animals is a powerful vehicle for illuminating the objectification of women. Rather than viewing the two causes as a trade-off, vegan activists, in betraying the hegemonic process whereby animals are removed from the idea of meat, should underscore the similar process whereby females are packaged as objects for the male gaze. Without the allure of attractive, naked female bodies, such a project may garner less shock-and-awe publicity. Yet, if vegan activists wish to maintain the consistency of their liberal agenda, they must eschew trading the exploitation...
Greyhound, Upgraded. Greyhound's 25 million passengers are about to get a brand-new bus - similar, the company says, to the models that celebrities tour in. The new commercial buses may not have champagne or beds with silk sheets in the back, but they do have free wi-fi, power outlets and, most importantly for anyone who's taken a bus, extra legroom. The first buses will be rolled out between New York City and Toronto or Montreal, then on the New York City-Boston route. Over the next few years, the entire fleet will be revamped...
