Gene-therapy death prompts broad civil lawsuit

Do Broad Based Governments Discourage Civil War?

This paper links the share of the population supporting the government to the risk of civil war. We study the question both theoretically and empirically. The theoretical model shows that having a smaller group of individuals control the government has an ambiguous effect on conflict risk: although a smaller group is less able to resist rebellion, its high per capita office rent, cost of regain...

Culture Medium Fatty Acid Withdrawal Prompts Insulin Producing Cell Death

Fatty acids (FAs) are important components of cell membranes and precursors of bioactive molecules. Deficiency of FA has been associated with development of diseases and tissue damage in animal models. FAs regulate several cell functions including insulin secretion. We investigated the effects of FA withdrawal in culture medium on insulin producing cell (RINm5F) metabolism, survival, and respon...

T-cell suicide gene therapy prompts thymic renewal in adults after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The genetic modification of T cells with a suicide gene grants a mechanism of control of adverse reactions, allowing safe infusion after partially incompatible hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In the TK007 clinical trial, 22 adults with hematologic malignancies experienced a rapid and sustained immune recovery after T cell-depleted HSCT and serial infusions of purified donor T ce...

Behavior therapy and civil liberties.

For the past two hundred to three hundred years, science has played a major role in the development of western culture. Societies have capitulated to the demands of "progress" and have disregarded the costs as expedients to the industrial revolution (Etzioni, 1968, p. 208). Unfortunately, the costs have mounted quietly, and perhaps because the awareness has been so long delayed, there is a stro...
