LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified a gene that tells cells to develop multiple cilia, tiny hair-like structures that move fluids through the lungs and brain. The finding may help scientists generate new therapies that use stem cells to replace damaged tissues in the lung and other organs.
"Cells with multiple cilia play a number of important roles, including moving fluids through the respiratory tract, brain and spinal cord," says…

A new study building on previous findings by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, highlights 14 key air pollution control measures that if implemented could slow the pace of global warming, save millions of lives and boost agricultural production.
The research, led by Drew Shindell of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, finds that focusing on these measures could slow global mean warming…
