Sounds of Volcanic Eruption RecreatedThursday, October 9, 2008 @ 6:22PM In a high-tech version of those baking soda-and-vinegar experiments at science fairs, scientists have simulated a key stage of volcanic eruptions where steam and other fluids rushing through cracks in underground rocks create particular "acoustic emissions."

Stem cell advance may avoid cancer riskThursday, October 9, 2008 @ 2:39PMJapanese scientists have demonstrated a new way to reprogram cells without viruses, an important advance toward the goal of one day turning our own cells into a powerful tool to fight a wide range of diseases.

Revealing A Key Mechanism Regulating Neural Stem Cell DevelopmentThursday, October 9, 2008 @ 7:20AMA research team at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montreal (IRCM), funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness - Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), discovered a novel mechanism that regulates how neural stem cells of the retina generate the appropriate cell type at the right time during normal development.

Testicular stem cells offer controversy-free alternative — for menThursday, October 9, 2008 @ 2:31AMWASHINGTON — Cells taken from testicles seem as versatile as the stem cells derived from embryos, researchers reported Wednesday in what may be yet another new approach in a burgeoning scientific field.

Stem cell source may offer optionsThursday, October 9, 2008 @ 12:08AMWASHINGTON — Cells taken from men’s testicles seem as versatile as the stem cells derived from embryos, researchers reported Wednesday in what may be yet another new approach in a burgeoning scientific field. The new type of stem cells could be useful for growing personalized replacement tissues, according to a study in today’s issue of the journal Nature. But because of their source, their ...

U of M: ’01 stem-cell study drew on falsified dataWednesday, October 8, 2008 @ 11:04PMMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Falsified data were used in a 2001 article published by one of its researchers on adult stem cells, the University of Minnesota has concluded. The university is asking that the published article be retracted.

Arctic Grows StormierMonday, October 6, 2008 @ 4:33PM The Arctic has become more stormy in the past 50 years due to the warming climate, which in turn has quickened the pace of drifting sea ice, a new NASA study finds.

Pollution Makes Oceans NoisierFriday, October 3, 2008 @ 8:47AM The ocean may soon begin to sound more like New York City to dolphins and whales.

Solving the puzzle of stem cell divisionThursday, October 2, 2008 @ 11:24AMThe central question of developmental biology is how a single fertilized egg can divide repeatedly to produce multiple different cell types.
