Neuroscientist Comments On Stem Cell Study's Success In Helping Primat
A neuroscientist reports that the cutting-edge research study of human stem cells in primates with Parkinson's disease is compelling on several fronts -- particularly how the transplanted cells did their job of easing disease symptoms. The study showed that only a small number of stem cells turned into dopamine-producing cells ?not enough to improve the primates?function by replacing missing neurons. Instead, some stem cells turned into astrocytes, a supportive brain cell that produces neuron-nourishing chemicals. The World of Spices With Ann Wilder

ASU's Mars research team took center stage at China's national celebration of science and technology, and tens of thousands of Chinese citizens -- including schoolchildren, scientists, engineers and senior members of government -- took notice. The result was one of those rare events in which planets seem to align, paths and destinies cross, and magic happens. United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui, Criminal No. 01-455-A: Trial Exhi

Unsafe levels of lead have been found in soil and sediments left behind in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and could pose a heightened health threat to returning residents, particularly children, according to a new study published in the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science &Technology. Some soil samples contained lead concentrations as much as two-thirds higher than what the US Environmental Protection Agency considers safe, according to researchers at Texas Tech University. Is an Apple Tablet on the Way? Orange Exec Says 'Oui'

Each year nearly 40,000 tons of cosmic dust fall to Earth from outer space. The first successful chronological study of extraterrestrial dust in Antarctic ice has shown that this amount has remained largely constant over the past 30,000 years, a finding that could help refine efforts to understand the timing and effects of changes in the Earth's past climate. Does The Desire To Consume Alcohol And Tobacco Come From Our Genetic M
In an attempt to find the genomic determinants underlying alcohol and tobacco use, researchers examined 120 families (approximately 900 individuals). The researchers identified an area relating to alcohol and tobacco use on chromosome 1. They found another area relating to alcohol on chromosome 3. On chromosome 4, they uncovered an area relating to smoking and found sex-specific loci inside some of these areas.
