POPSStem Cell Breakthrough Could Stifle Research Cure causes cancer The new method is preliminary and fraught with problems. Yamanaka first performed this technique on mice in 2006, and most of the mice developed cancer. This is because the special genes are carried into the cell by a virus, which can spread to other parts of the body and initiate rapid cell growth elsewhere. Also, the faux-embryonic stem cells don't work as well at growing and expressing proteins as the real things.

POPSPiecing Together the History of Art Cuesta Benberry was a serious scholar at a time when few of our technological conveniences were available. She started her research in the 1960's. This period leading up to the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration of the United States of America was the flashpoint for much of the serious interest in the history of popular or folk interests, such as woodworking, quiltmaking, cooking, gardening/farming, and the history of many sustainable habits of thought and action. These same interests are now in the forefront of the popular imagination of a new generation.
