Stem Cell Treatment for Blindness New England Journal of Medicine
A long-term study by Italian researchers shows that stem cells can help restore vision in eyes that have been blinded by burns. Moreover, the restored vision remained stable over 10 years.
Patients whose eyes have suffered heat or chemical burns typically experience severe damage to the cornea — the thin, transparent front of the eye that refracts light and contributes most of the eye’s focusing ability. The Italian technique uses stem c…

Artificial Antibodies Plastic antibodies like the ones clustered here could fight everything from viral infections to allergens in the bloodstream. Kenneth Shea

Ford Explorer America Concept
FoMoCo today gave a sneak peek at the next-generation Ford Explorer to a group of dealers, which may now arrive as a 2012 model year. So far, we’ve been referring to the next-generation Explorer as a 2011 model year vehicle, but dealers who attended the meeting today said that Ford told them that it was undecided whether the Explorer will be a 2011 or a 2012 model year.
No official reason was given for the indecision. To qualify as a 2012 model, Ford would have to wait…

While General Motors still hasn’t confirmed that it will offer a high-performance Buick Regal GS as a 2012 model year, the company can’t seem to be quiet about it – meaning we’re most definitely going to see the production model on roads sometime by next year (just consider it confirmed). However, some things may change on the Buick Regal GS concept we saw at that 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
According to Bob Lutz, GM’s Vice Chairman, the Buick Regal GS may not get all-wheel-dri…
