...Xeno Chronicles” leaves the reader with little clue of what the future of xenotransplantion will hold, and whether xenotransplantation or stem cell-generated organs will win the race to supply our species with replacement organs. (The scientific community generally believes that at least one technique will be successful over the long haul.) The cliffhanger is warranted, since a snapshot of scientific research, as Miller provides, will generally give a murky picture of the future, especially, as in Sachs’ case, when funding is running perilously...
...dances around perhaps the most important question raised in an examination of biotechnology research. In a society with limited resources for medical research, should we primarily fund treatments and short-term cures, such as xenotransplantation, or should we fund research for preventive measures and long-term cures, such as stem cell technology? This question is at the center of today’s debate on biomedical budgeting, and Miller gives it short thrift. Still, Miller makes us ponder several sticky questions that face all of medical research, and learning them through xenotransplantation is at least an interesting path...
...Story of O The hippest new wineglasses, like the O series from Riedel, leave the stems on the vine. Stemless glasses are sturdier, can be stacked in your cupboard, and fit in a dishwasher. Purists say the stem keeps the hand from warming the wine, but most palates don't notice...
Under current federal guidelines, only human embryonic stem cell lines created before August 2001 may receive federal support, such as funding through...
Last year, the HSCI awarded its own series of 12 $150,000 grants to fund stem cell research within the Harvard community not supported by the federal government...
