Can't help it. I like this part: they have discovered a long-sought "master gene" [the nanog gene] ... that is largely responsible for giving those cells [the stem cells] their unique regenerative and therapeutic potential. Is this the equivalent of old-school NANOGers beating up netmonkeys with a cluebat? ;-) scott On Fri, 30 May 2003, Andrea Abrahamsen wrote: : "..is largely responsible for giving those cells their unique regenerative : and therapeutic potential." : : [Pull hair out, pull out the nearest bundle of Ethernet cable, see a : therapist.. or read NANOG.
