And a 2006 study of twins at the University of Wisconsin gave evidence that hypersensitivity to noise and touch have a strong genetic component...
...direct reprogramming” technique, reported last week by researchers at the University of Wisconsin and Kyoto University, allows human skin cells to develop into any type of tissue...
These semantic questions might do a lot less to solve the stem cell problem than those researchers in Wisconsin and Japan did last week, but they do tell us a little about the mind of the man in charge. In the end, perhaps Bush’s attitude can lend us some perspective about what we ought to value in America. Instead of striving for scientific progress, revolutionary strides in improving health or even moral integrity, let’s just sit back and count our world records...
...happier than I am about the latest development in stem-cell research. Scientists in Japan and Wisconsin have independently figured out how to turn ordinary human skin cells into something like pluripotent stem cells. These are the cells that have caused so much excitement in recent years because they are like a biological gift certificate that can be turned into other kinds of cells as needed. These cells have also produced much controversy because they are derived from human embryos. I have the disease - Parkinson's - for which stem cells hold the most immediate promise. The hope is that they...
