  4. Scientists create human embryos to make stem cells

    For the first time, scientists have created human embryos that are genetic copies of living people and used them to make stem cells — a feat that paves the way for treating a range of diseases with personalized body tissues but also ignites fears of human cloning.

  5. Global Voices: Palestinian quest for statehood a moving target

    In the 65 years since the creation of  Israel and the scattering of millions of Palestinians from their historic homeland, hope of resolving the core crisis of the Middle East has risen to joyous pinnacles like Camp David and crashed into despair with deadly outbreaks of violence and bloodshed.

  8. Dr. Christian de Duve dies at 95; Nobel-winning scientist

    For the first half of the 20th century, the cell was a mysterious, unfathomable entity. Nutrients went in and hormones, wastes and other products came out. But what happened in between was anybody's guess.

  10. Seeing what there is to see, and hearing too much, at Angel Stadium

    It's another hymn of an evening down here in Anaheim, the French Riviera of freeways. Took a mere two hours to drive from L.A., which exceeds the capacity of many bladders. Fortunately, the kid in the back seat fell asleep in Azusa of all places, or the trip might've verged on the unpleasant.

  11. Stop dissing the humanities

    If any line item in the state or federal budgets cries out for more resources, or even just a little more respect, it's the arts and humanities.

  12. The Supreme Court looks at gene patents, worries about biotech

    When the Supreme Court took up the question Monday of <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-supreme-court-patents-human-genes-20130415,0,2991661.story">whether genes could be patented</a>, the justices were clearly concerned about preserving innovation in medicine and biotechnology. But the issue presented by Myriad Genetics' patents on the BRCA genes cuts both ways, leading to a potential split among the justices.
