LOS ANGELES - Federal officials are working to extradite a fugitive physician at the heart of a University of California, Irvine fertility scandal in the 1990s, who was arrested last month in Mexico City.U.S. Attorneys spokesman Thom Mrozek says Ricardo Asch was arrested Nov. 3, about 15 years after he and another fertility doctor, Jose Balmaceda, were charged with stealing the eggs and embryos of dozens of

The UC Irvine doctors were accused of wrongdoing after auditors found that he and Balmaceda had cooked books to hide $1 million in billings. Further scrutiny uncovered unapproved tissue transfers, which was not illegal at the time.The Los Angeles Times reports that at least 15 births resulted from the improper egg transfers, and it s unknown whether any have attempted to contact their genetic parents.In Septem

stanley cup astic, the Terminator material, the Doctor Who ingredient鈥攂ut this new regenerating polymer is amazing. A team at the University of Pittsburgh has developed a formula for a novel substance that uses nanorods to rebuild itself when part of it has been severed. Essentially, the nanorods are embedded in a polymer gel; when a chunk of the materi

While others have developed materials that can mend small defects, there is no published research regarding systems that can regenerate bulk sections of a severed material. Of course, like the self-healing materials we ;ve seen in the past, this stuff only exists in the lab for now鈥攂ut it 82
