..."And, because children are weak, it may be the most important right," said Calister. "Unfortunately children's rights are not self-evident. That is why it is important to keep the finger on the pulse and to do something about it together in the Kingdom" said Van der Veer

Dr Anthony Atala, editor, Stem Cells Translational Medicine, and director, Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, US, said that, "Cells from bone marrow and from fat were equivalent in terms of their potential to differentiate into multiple cell types. The fact that the cells from fat tissue seem to be more potent at suppressing the immune system suggest their promise in clinical therapies."

...'And indeed,' confirms Cuppen, 'we have now observed these same molecules in space with the Spitzer space telescope.' Linnartz: "We now have a consistent image of how water is formed in space, namely through so-called hydrogenation reactions of ice on small particles. 'This process takes place everywhere in our galaxy, as well as outside it, in other galaxies.' So water is everywhere: this is an important conclusion. Limmartz continues: 'Recent re in Leiden has shown that other, more complex molecules can also be formed in interstellar ice. If you're looking for life elsewhere, then the building blocks of life must be readily available in situ and we are gaining increasing understanding of the chemistry required to make this possible. We are on the right track!'"
