...look at science as a way to bring out metaphors about human interactions,” Knep says. Knep is satisfying this fascination at HMS’s DSB, a new department that approaches biology from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. He spends at least one day a week in the lab working with researchers, peering into microscopes, and talking with them about their projects, such as the study of cellular locomotion. Knep talks with these researchers inside and outside the lab, enhancing his own scientific understanding while finding how best to artistically represent their work. “When...
...small step in our ability to go forward in replacing damaged tissues and organs,” said Anthony Atala, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at WFUSM and lead researcher, in a press release. While other simpler tissues, such as skin and bone cells, have been lab-grown, this marks the first time that a complex organ such as the bladder has been successfully grown and accepted by a patient. In the past, similar transplants were done using tissue samples from other organs or through organ donors. Building a bladder from other tissue has often resulted in numerous...
...youthful exuberance or Ronald Reagan's telegenic optimism. And the weight of the evening news - a disaster, a war - probably shapes ideological loyalties far more often than some overstimulation of our pleasure centers. Political choices, in other words, are at once more complicated and more obvious than lab-coated investigators give us credit...
...said Alexander Leaf, an emeritus professor of clinical medicine at Harvard. “You won’t have to change your diet, but you will be getting what you need.” A number of obstacles remain before the research can move from the lab to the supermarket. Scientists are still uncertain as to whether Omega-3s will have the same benefits when eaten in pork. And Jing X. Kang, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the study, said that the level of Omega-3s in the pigs...
...claims and no actual businesses are using the legal system to extract payments from firms with established operations and products--lurking like fairy-tale trolls under bridges, popping out to collect a toll. "The trolls are turning patents into lottery tickets instead of rewards for late nights in the lab," says Rob Merges, a Berkeley law professor backing eBay. Merges says semiconductors and software may be covered by hundreds of patents, each with distinct claims, yet it may take only one case of infringement for a judge to issue an injunction, compelling many companies to pay the trolls...
