Conversely, 224 flights sat on the tarmac for more than 4 hours...
...skin cells. They used a retrovirus vector, piggybacking the genes for the growth factors and proteins onto this infectious ferry. Retroviruses, however, like HIV, can cause infectious diseases and are not always easy to control, so before testing this approach in humans, researchers need to find other modes of transport for the critical compounds. The good news is that they need the genes to churn out their proteins for a only brief period of time, so using less virulent viruses, such as the adenovirus (responsible for the common cold) or simply saturating the cell with growth factors and nutrients directly...

...Transport is also a challenge. India's government is pouring billions of dollars into its highway system, but thanks to a swelling middle class and booming car sales, the roads are filling up faster than they can be built. For now, Reliance plans to buy mostly from farmers located within a couple of hours of major cities to shorten transport times. The company will build up its own fleet of trucks, but will also outsource some of its transport needs. Eventually, trucks will be fitted with radio or satellite transmitters that will allow a central control room to track locations...
