...Konrad A. Hochedlinger, a Medical School professor whose laboratory contributed the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome cell line to the project, said that the "iPS trick" will change the face of stem cell research...
...think it's partially genetic. We [Domar and her co-author, Alice Lesch Kelly] talked about 200 women. Most women who have issues in this realm either had a parent who was a perfectionist or had a parent who was a slob. If it is genetic, then I guess they follow in their parent's footsteps or they rebel and go the opposite...
...Europe's biggest market. The enormous Japanese manufacturers are unlikely to mass-produce receivers until there is sufficient consumer demand for the radios there. But the German market - dominated by regional stations - is confusing, because most digital coverage is concentrated in the south. To fuel national demand, Helwin Lesch, general manager of Bayern Digital Radio, a transmitter-network operator, admits that German broadcasters are borrowing marketing ideas from Britain. An on-air campaign to explain digital radio begins in March, and there are plans to auction a few hundred inexpensive radios over the Internet in April. Most German automakers, lured...
Bound by their rigorous methodology, Lesch et al. (poor al.; such lousy billing for nine talented scientists) are careful not to extrapolate their findings to the general population. But what if 70% of Americans have the short gene and only 30% have the long? That's a huge majority of neurotics. If 70% of the voters had favored Clinton, they would have given him an unprecedented landslide; if 70% of the TV audience watched one show, it would be a historic hit; if 70% of football fans rooted for the New York Jets, they would be out of their mind...
Nevertheless, based on the genetic analysis and three different personality tests given to their subjects, Lesch et al. assure us that a large majority possessed the short gene and that this gene had a significant association with neuroticism, tension, suspiciousness, worry and pessimism, and fear of uncertainty. Research has not yet been conducted on whether the short gene is also linked to irritability over badly subtitled foreign films...
