...Talk about a sign of acceptance. Research-ers studying men who received heart transplants from women discovered male cells growing in the donated female hearts--a surprising upheaval of the conventional wisdom that the heart cannot regenerate tissue the way other organs can. Doctors are now searching for cardiac stem cells that could repair hearts without a transplant...
...indeed, but also preventable. How? In order to effectively stem grade inflation, the admissions office must take positive and real steps towards reducing the academic quality of future classes—otherwise, grades will continue to inflate, like so many balloons, and we shall all be doomed...
...advance with just a dozen, but finding even that dozen has been difficult. "There are serious issues about when the cells will be practically available," says the NIH's Ron McKay. The NIH has a deal with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation that gives scientists access to the stem-cell lines developed by prominent researcher James Thomson. Access to the other lines still has to be worked out. That may be why only six scientists so far have applied for federal funding. In the meantime, work on adult stem cells continues. This noncontroversial work is perhaps a decade ahead...
...scribbles in the margins, but nothing worth underlining. We had our worries. There were fears that cell phones would cause brain cancer. Fears that we were overprescribing antibiotics. Drinking too much arsenic. That sharks were stalking us. The lights went out in California. There was the fight over stem cells, the fear about clones. Do we drill in the Arctic? On Sept. 10, Congress was debating another tax cut, schools were debating dress codes: Are spaghetti straps too risque? There was news of a suicide bombing in Istanbul. That seemed very far away...
