James Sanchez, 21, from the dusty high-desert town of Espaola, N.M., is a senior at Davidson College in North Carolina and an aspiring neuroscientist. He figured that at a bigger school he would have been lucky to spend his lab time washing beakers for the star scientists. At Davidson, where there are no grad students, Sanchez's senior thesis is an integral part of a larger three-year study of memory and learning in rats that may offer new insights into Alzheimer's. His professor anticipates that the research will be published in a top-shelf neuroscience journal...

Researchers in Thailand have taken stem cells from the blood of cardiac patients, grown the cells in a lab and reinjected them into patients' hearts, where they set about repairing damage.

Welcome as the advances are, the subject of adult stem cells is highly political and invites a conflation of real hopes and false ones. "There are papers that have claimed broad uses for certain adult stem cells...
