They've termed the new technique "therapeutic reprogramming." The skin cells formed normal human skin when grafted onto the backs of laboratory mice, they said. The findings represent a major advance in the battle against the disease, epidermolysis bullosa, in which the top layer of skin, called the epidermis, sloughs off with the slightest friction, leaving open wounds that are difficult to heal.

Leah was scheduled to undergo stem-cell treatment Tuesday, in order to alleviate some of the internal damage caused by chemotherapy and radiation. There was no way Still was going to miss out on being by thefour-year-olds side. Mission accomplished, Still had to hurry back to work. Support for Leah and other kids stricken with pediatric cancer continues to pour in. On Saturday, members of the AHLs Syracuse Crunchdonned Stills No. 75 Bengals jersey as they competed in theFrozen Dome Classic at the Carrier Dome. According to cincinnati.com, the jerseys were then signed and will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House. This former editor and part-time writer at The Post is now happy to prove that if you combine 'blowhard' and 'blaggard,' you get 'blogger.'
