New technology shows our ancestors ate…everything!

...rately measure such surfaces." Teaford said future applications of the computer software include not only projects in paleontology and anthropology, but also engineering. "You could use it to examine the wear of metal surfaces on each other or to monitor clean surfaces at a microscopic scale," said Teaford. Besi...

U-M scientists discover identifying markers for primitive blood-forming stem cells

... the most important unanswered question for future applications in medicine is whether these same markers are expressed on human hematopoietic stem cells. Kiel and Yilmaz confirmed the existence of SLAM markers on HSCs in several strains of laboratory mice, but whether they will be found on human cells remains "a...
