researchers reported at the American Heart Association's Basic
Cardiovascular Sciences 2010 Scientific Sessions
– Technological and Conceptual Advances in
Cardiovascular Disease. The study found that exposure to
ground-level ozone over several weeks increased the activity of a
substance that triggers cell death in the heart. Ozone (O3) is a
highly reactive gas made up of three oxygen molecules. read more

RNA offers a safer way to reprogram cells
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — In recent years, scientists
have shown that they can reprogram human skin cells to an immature
state that allows the cells to become any type of cell. This
ability, known as pluripotency, holds the promise of treating
diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease by transforming
the patients' own cells into replacements for the nonfunctioning
tissue. read more
