...preliminary report says the virus could have escaped from Pirbright through a faulty waste pipe. But human error or even sabotage are also possible causes. "There are various potential routes for accidental or deliberate transfer of material from the site," says the report. "Release by human movement must also be considered a real possibility...
...Maher received the third largest share of Galluccio’s transfer votes. His strongest showing was in West Cambridge’s Ward 9, a ward Galluccio won and in which Sullivan also did well...
Winters added that though much of the Sullivan vote would transfer from one cousin to the other, “that’s not enough to elect [Eddie], so he’s gotta hustle...
...nuclear transfer, stem cells are created by inserting the nucleus from a donor's cell, usually a skin cell, into an egg cell, whose DNA-containing nucleus has been removed. The new cell then starts to divide and produce stem cells. In some cases, however, through mistakes in the nuclear-transfer process, eggs may begin dividing on their own. And Hwang may have increased his chances of parthenogenesis by using the gentler, squeezing technique he pioneered to remove the egg's nucleus; the process may have actually left behind enough genetic material for the egg to spontaneously divide...
...that parthenogenetic stem cells have been discovered, will we finally begin to see the kind of individualized treatments - for diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and spinal cord injuries - that science has promised? Probably not. Although parthenogenesis is easier to achieve than nuclear transfer - about 20% of the time, eggs can be stimulated to divide on their own, compared to a 3%-5% development rate for nuclear transfer embryos - parthenogenesis still requires a steady supply of good quality human eggs. These are notoriously difficult to obtain, so the technique won't likely revolutionize medicine yet. But, suggests Daley, it could...
