Novel Method To Grow Human Embryonic Stem Cells Developed
Published August 19, 2008, 9:20 pm, Science Daily
The majority of researchers working with human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) use animal-based materials for culturing the cells. But these materials could transmit viruses and other pathogens to the hESCs, making the cells unsuitable for medical use. Now a biochemist has devised a method of growing hESCs in the lab that uses no animal-derived materials -- an important advance in the use of hESCs ...

- Tuberculosis: Shrewd survival strategy: "The bacterium that causes tuberculosis is one of the most successful pathogens. Its spread among humans has been so efficient that as much as one-third of the world's population is now believed to be infected. In most cases, these infections cause clinically silent disease, which is likely to remain permanently dormant unless the host's immunity is substantially compromised.&q uot;
