>Confirmation: Adult Cells Reprogrammed to Embryonic Stem Cells
>Last year, we read, and blogged about experiments by Drs. Kazutoshi Takahashi and Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University in Japan demonstrating that (adult) mouse fibroblasts could be reprogrammed to become embryonic stem cells in hopes of being able to one day develop truly “patient specific” stem cells made from the person’s own adult stem cells. … Continue reading

The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization Advance Access published an article online by Jonathan Klick and Thomas Stratmann on September 4, 2007 , entitled, Abortion Access and Risky Sex Among Teens: Parental Involvement Laws and Sexually Transmitted … Continue reading
Parental Notification for Abortion Decreases STD risk

>Liberal/conservative neuro-experiments?
>Nature Neuroscience has reported on an experiment that is being touted as proving that “liberals” are smarter than “conservatives.” Or, as the LATimes’ Denise Gallene states, “that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work.” I wonder whether these findings mean that all those visual field tests we’ve been … Continue reading
>States demand Feds subsidize middle class insurance
>$82,000 for a family of four is not “poor,” or even the “working poor,” except perhaps in Manhattan. Could it be that the State and local taxes make these families the “working poor” and are more responsible than the “high cost of insurance” for the families’ perception that they can not afford health insurance? Remember, … Continue reading

>Texas Researchers: Prostate Pluripotential Stem Cells
>Researchers Dr. Liping Tang from the Bioengineering Department at University of Texas at Arlington, and Dr. Victor K. Lin of the Department of Urology at UT Southwestern (Dallas, Texas) have published a paper describing pluripotent adult stem cells from prostate tissue. Tissue cultures as well as biochemical markers show that the cells harvested from men … Continue reading
