Have we got a date yet?” Pertile: “Not quite yet, I’m afraid.). Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds will be responsible for selecting Pertile and Bensted's replacements.

...From a traffic perspective, there were more people in the malls than in years past," he says. However, it's not yet known if traffic translated into big sales, as this data will not be available until later this weekend...

Given the financial and regulatory hurdles to launching a first-phase trial, it could take years and several million dollars before researchers could replicate their animal findings in people. But advances like the muscle trial in monkeys help attract funds - largely from advocacy groups like the Muscular Dystrophy Association and charitable organizations founded by patient families, as well as drug companies and the federal government - to a field that has until now been somewhat better known for its failures.
