May 4 WWJ news radio
Dr. Carol A. Brenner, Wayne State University’s School Medicine, comments in a story about southeast Michigan stepping up its efforts in the stem cell research science. Brenner says Michigan has a lot of catching up to do, but other states like California, which passed a $3 billion stem cell research initiative, and Massachusetts are willing to help. It is also noted in the story that MitoStem, a startup company in TechTown's SmartStart business accelerator program, has received a $200,000 Small Business Innovation Research Phase I grant from the National Institutes of Health to optimize its revolutionary stem cell technology developed at Wayne State University.

A smile a day...
March 16, 2010
 This bit of research should make you smile (or maybe smirk). Ernest L. Abel (right) and Michael L. Kruger (not pictured) at
Wayne
State
University have found that the larger your smile, the longer you may live. Yes, that’s right; “smile intensity” seems to have a statistically significant effect on a person’s longevity. In their research, to be published in the journal Psychological Science, the professors conducted an amusing case study that used a sampling of 230 photographs of baseball players culled from the now-defunct Sporting News Baseball Register. The professional ball players were chosen as a representative sample because detailed life statistics (such as birth, death, education, marital status, etc.) were available for each, leading to a more conclusive study. http://www.miller-mccune.com/health/smile-to-live-longer-10401/
