...Still, Obama's Executive Order leaves intact a 1996 law, the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, which forbids the use of taxpayer dollars to create embryos solely for scientific study - for stem-cell or any other type of medical research in which the embryos would have to be destroyed. Without being able to create embryos and their stem cells specially for individual patients, researchers say there is a risk of incompatibility between patients and any stem cells created from unrelated embryos. Even though embryonic stem cells can be guided to become any type of cell in the body, if they are transplanted...
...shot opportunities as opposed to us getting any kind of a flurry of shots,” Donato said. “Clemente was very solid, and I think they did what they needed to do. The first period, we didn’t play with the type of speed and puck movement that we were hoping for. We left a lot of shots on the board, but we never really created enough presence around their net, whether it was with traffic in front of their goalie, or plays in and around his feet, or second and third opportunities...
...group of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) have discovered that the plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease may affect a type of nervous system cell called an astrocyte, providing new insight into the far-reaching effects of the disease as well as possible therapeutic targets. Astrocytes are star-shaped cells that make up almost half the volume of the brain, and were traditionally thought to be support cells. It is now known that they can transmit signals through transient increases in calcium levels. “Astrocytes are often thought...
...prevent more than just sleep during lecture. A team of researchers—led by Paul Nghiem ’86 of the University of Washington Department of Dermatology—released a study last week that determined that the topical application of caffeine may prevent the some types of skin cancer. The research—published in the Journal for Investigative Dermatology— provides a biological explanation for recent clinical studies that have shown a negative correlation between caffeine intake and the risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer. According to the study, caffeine appears to reduce...
...clear desert skies and enjoy the hotel's stylish details - such as oversized robes with HOPE stitched in silver on the back, and a decadent breakfast served poolside every morning.
