Wisconsin scientists grow critical nerve cells

...such as mice, whose embryonic stem cells have been available to scientists for decades. One reason scientists have had difficulty making motor neurons, Zhang believes, may be that they are one of the earliest neural structures to emerge in a developing embryo. With the ticking clock of development in mind, Zh...

Association of herpesvirus with lung disorder questioned

...1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online.
