A really cool (and simple) way to make induced Pluripotent Stem cells.

The editors at Science took on the challenge to out-Cyrusify (see my Jan 10 blob) Nature.
First: ladies, stay away from Neanderthal men. Your male offspring my turn out to not be so great after all.

Second: stay away from men altogether- if you want to live long:

That's pretty much the whole issue. Yep.
Metabolism of retinoic acid in lens regeneration:

We do have a gene trap allele of the zebrafish cyp26c1, but there may be too much redundancy…
And last but not least, here is an awesome tool for functional analysis of enhancers:

Better yet- it's available in the lab. I know, I have no shame and my self-promotion has no limits :-)
Have fun!
