...o be important." While the center's offerings will widen over time to cover other diseases -- Parkinson's disease and diabetes are considered "hot" areas of stem cell research -- it will concentrate on two areas for now and "build on that."

... the developing fetus signals the mother's body to widen blood vessels to the placenta, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. But, for unknown reasons, in women with preeclampsia the blood vessels grow narrower, impeding the flow of blood and oxygen.

... balloon is inserted inside the artery in order to widen the clogged vessel. If, during the procedure, the cells lining the vessel are damaged, they may become inflamed and multiply, reblocking the artery. A similar problem can occur following heart transplantation, leading to chronic graft failure, the pr...GIS, bioinformatics collaborations offer promising new perspectives
...he same time, he said, geneticists will be able to widen their purview, "noting, for example, how the incidence of congenital disease varies over space, over time, and with changes to terrain and climate."
