As scientists continue to decode the human genome and the information becomes publicly available, private companies that offer online genetic testing are multiplying. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health were concerned that perhaps these tests posed a risk. They evaluated responses to an online test among smokers who did or did not have a common genetic variant associated with risk for lung cancer. The results raise a new set of questions, but also allay some of the early concerns.

Stem Cells' 'Suspended' State Preserved By Key Step, Scientists Report

Scientists have identified a gene that is essential for embryonic stem cells to maintain their all-purpose, pluripotent state. Exploiting the finding may lead to a greater understanding of how cells acquire their specialized states and provide a strategy to efficiently reprogram mature cells back into the pluripotent state, an elusive step in stem cell research but one crucial to a range of potential clinical treatments.
