A different kind of death? Barts NHS Trust v Dance and Battersbee

ADULT STEM CELL TRIAL AT BARTS and THE LONDON NHS TRUST

The heart is an organ of limited regenerative capacity and as such has insufficient potential to repair itself. The response to injury comprises adaptive mechanisms such as the opening up of collateral vessels, the hypertrophy of pre-existing cardiomyocytes and the scar formation by stimulation of fibroblasts (remodelling). Recent work that has analysed atrial tissue from sex mismatched heart t...

A Different Kind of Country

This is the second of three volumes dealing with the comparative morphogenesis and morphology of the cerebellum in the various classes of vertebrates. Larsell divides the mammalian cerebellum into 10 basic lobules. Their variations are described for practically all of the orders of mammals. The details of cerebellar homology are often augmented by concise descriptions of variations in motor and...

Supersymmetry of a different kind

A local supersymmetric action for a (2+1)-dimensional system including gravity, the electromagnetic field and a Dirac spin-1/2 field is presented. The action is a Chern-Simons form for a connection of the OSp(2|2) group. All the fields enter as parts of the connection, that transforms in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. The system is off-shell invariant under local (gauge) supersy...

A different kind of quarterback

I am not big on celebrations, nor do I accept many invitations to receive awards. There is much work to be done, and the reward is in the doing. I learned this lesson early from my parents, Martha and Robert Guyden. However, I am humbled that anyone would even mention my name in association with E. E. Just. I, like he, was born into a segregated America, and somehow we both found biology. I thi...
