Forsyth scientists gain greater understanding of how embryos differentiate left from right
Researchers at the Forsyth Institute have discovered a new mechanism responsible for early left/right patterning, the process by which organs locate themselves on the left or right side of the body. The discovery of this novel mechanism, garnered through the study of three different vertebrates (frogs, chickens and zebrafish), marks the first time that a single common mechanism has been identif...Cloned mice created from fully differentiated cells, a milestone in cloning research
New research dismisses the notion that adult stem cells are necessary for successful animal cloning, proving instead that cells that have completely evolved to a specific type not only can be used for cloning purposes, but they may be a better and more efficient starting point. As proof, researchers report they created two mouse pups from a type of blood cell that itself is incapable of dividing...Human Primary Preadipocytes and Differentiated Adipocytes

CHICAGO In a column I wrote last year, I alluded to the internationalization of biotechnology. I was wrong. This business has become global. In fact, there are now 4,284 biotech companies in 25 countries, according to a May 2004 article in BioPharm International. Moreover: The biotech industry has 622 publicly traded companies around the world. The industry spent...Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Can Widely Infiltrate The Larynx
The proximity of the thyroid gland to the larynx, trachea, pharynx, and cervical esophagus allows thyroid cancer// to invade these structures. Invasion of the larynx by differentiated thyroid gland carcinoma is uncommon, but causes serious morbidity and mortality when present. A recent article, which appears in the July issue of , reports on 5 differ...Researchers Discover How We Differentiate Smells
You don’t need to sign up for pricey wine appreciation classes to parse the subtle difference between the black cherry bouquet of a pinot noir and the black currant// scent of a cabernet sauvignon. Just pour yourself a couple glasses and sniff. Your brain will quickly help you become a modest oenophile. It’s up to you if you want to drink the lesson plan. A new study by Northwestern Un...
