The Third International Conference on Lymphatic Tissue and Germinal Centers in Immune Reactions was held at the University of Uppsala in Sweden, September 1-4, 1970. The conference is obliged to Professor K. E. Fichtelius for his initiative in establishing the meeting, as well as for the assistance of his staff at the Department of Histology in organizing the meetings. At the University of Uppsala inquiries into the lymphatic system go back to the 17th century and are marked by milestones, such as Olof Rudbeck's discovery of the thoracic duct in 1651 and August Hammar's fundamental work on the thymus in the beginning of this century. So one is justified to s~ that the conference gathered on ...

The developmental capabilities and therapeutic potential of stem cells are being revealed in studies of cellular signaling mechanisms that regulate their proliferation, differentiation and survival. "Stem Cells: A Cellular Fountain of Youth" reviews the current state of understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate embryonic and adult stem cells with an emphasis on how aging and age-related disease impact on these mechanisms. Leading authorities detail the properties and therapeutic potential of embryonic stem cells, and stem cell precursors of blood, nervous and muscle and bone cells. Recent advances in deciphering the environmental signals and intrinsic signal transduction pathwa...
In the case of water fluoridation, the chemicals used to fluoridate the water that more than 180 million people drink each day are not pharmaceutical grade, but rather hazardous waste products of the phosphate fertilizer industry; it is illegal to dump them into rivers and lakes or release them into the atmosphere. And water fluoridation is a prime example of one of the worst medical practices possible-forced medication with no control over the dose or who gets it. Perhaps most shocking of all, it is not subject to any federal regulation. At once painstakingly-documented and also highly-readable, The Case Against Fluoride brings new research to light, including links between fluoride and harm to the brain, bones, and kidneys, and argues that while there is possible value in topical applications like brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, the evidence that swallowing fluoride reduces tooth decay is surprisingly weak.
