Riding to the Storm: Behind the Scenes Hassles of Stem Cell Research Funding
When my paralyzed son Roman Reed told me, he was going on a little trip, I said, "Oh, that's nice!", and went on with my chores. I figured he meant a couple-hour jaunt from Fremont to Sacramento, something like that, no big deal. But his mother Gloria is more suspicious than I am, and managed to wheedle out of him that the "little trip" involved California, Texas, Alabama, and Louisiana--and that he would be driving all the way. Complicating matters was a massive storm heading in, perhaps the most powerful ever recorded in this hemisphere... "That's why I have to go right now," he said, with perfect Roman logic. Some might...

Story Landis
Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 13, 718 (2014).
doi:10.1038/nrd4454
After 19 years at the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Story Landis retired last month. During her time there, she was struck by a transformation of neurological research on many fronts, including the discovery of disease-linked genes and the development of induced pluripotent stem cell models of disease. But a recent study of NINDS grants shows that funding of basic neurological research has also declined during this time, putting future advances at risk. Landis tells Asher Mullard about how she has worked to put t...

Stem Cells for Cell-Based Therapies
The world of stem cells
We know the human body comprises many cell types (e.g., blood cells, skin cells, cervical cells), but we often forget to appreciate that all of these different cell types arose from a single cell—the fertilized egg. A host of sequential, awe-inspiring events occur between the fertilization of an egg and the formation of a new individual:
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are also called totipotent cells.
The first steps involve making more cells by simple cell division: one cell becomes two cells; two cells become four cells, etc.
Each cell of early development is undifferentiated; that is, it is...
