Science Buzz Lunch in Mixer Room, Bldg 1, Jan. 7, 2013

Topics discussed included:

1) A recent paper in Cell Stem Cell  12, 114 - 126  (Jan. 3, 2013)

by Toshinobu Nishimura et al. titled

Generation of Rejuvenated Antigen-Specific T Cells by Reprogramming to Pluripotency and Redifferentiation

We discussed potential applications of the iPS cell technology for adoptive immunotherapy.

2) A recent paper by Cullen et al. in PLoS ONE titled

Evolutionary Novelty versus Exaptation: Oral Kinematics in Feeding versus Climbing in the Waterfall-Climbing Hawaiian Goby Sicyopterus stimpsoni

which explains how the extreme waterfall-climbing behavior of this fish might have evolved by exaptation of an oral sucker used for feeding on algae
