...cells. Unlike embryonic stem cells, which stir up moral and political passions because they can, in theory, be used to create an entire human being, cancer stem cells are mutated forms of adult stem cells that can only make copies of their own cell type, be it blood or skin or lung tissue. What gives those adult cells their "stemness" is the ability to generate more stem cells like themselves (and thus continue to regenerate blood or skin tissue) and to churn out new generations of progeny to replace the cells that mature...
Jones himself fits into the nostalgic that characterizes the entire film. He is an embodiment of lost innocence, a figure whom Wooley depicts as boyish even as his skin grows leathery and the wrinkles on his face deepen. Jones’ home is the former residence of A.A. Milne, and he radiates childish joy as he wanders the gardens, thinking about the residents of Pooh Corner.

...This is one small step in our ability to go forward in replacing damaged tissues and organs,” said Anthony Atala, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at WFUSM and lead researcher, in a press release. While other simpler tissues, such as skin and bone cells, have been lab-grown, this marks the first time that a complex organ such as the bladder has been successfully grown and accepted by a patient. In the past, similar transplants were done using tissue samples from other organs or through organ donors. Building a bladder from other tissue has often...
