Researchers have developed a guide to help labs standardize the production of mature hepatic-like cells (HPCs) from stem cells and easily compare gene expression of HPCs to actual human liver tissue. This moderately high throughput protocol can enable a relatively quick assessment of the efficacy of stem cell differentiation and help guide the optimization of

• In his 30s and 40s, lifestyle changes led Dylan Thomas to gain weight, topping out at more than 230 pounds. • A regular workout regimen including free weights, pushups, and planks helped him begin to achieve dramatic results. • He also restricted his calorie intake to 1200 calories per day, which helped him complete

Preterm birth is a leading cause of death among children under the age of five, with low resource countries facing the greatest challenge.
