...understanding of it, transforming societies as we see our knowledge translated into policies—policies like those being developed at Harvard to prevent unfair lending practices, or to increase affordable housing or avert nuclear proliferation—or translated into therapies, like those our researchers have designed to treat macular degeneration or to combat anthrax. The expansion of knowledge means change. But change is often uncomfortable, for it always encompasses loss as well as gain, disorientation as well as discovery. It has, as Machiavelli once wrote, no constituency. Yet in facing the future, universities must embrace the unsettling change...

"We want to open up blood vessels, and blood knows how to do that," he says. Perhaps a nitric oxide boost would help it do its job even better...

Over 30,000 of Americans have the illness which can lead to muscle atrophy and possibly death, according to the ALS Association’s website. Brown and Julien said they plan to find the most effective antibody to treat mice afflicted with ALS before altering it slightly for human treatment. According to Julien, the cross-border collaboration is the fastest way to bring the vaccine into the clinical trial stage. So far, the duo’s research has yielded that ridding the body of the toxic SOD1 protein...
