Stem Cells An Unlikely Therapy for Alzheimer's
Washington Post, June 10-Ronald Reagan's death from Alzheimer's disease Saturday has triggered an outpouring of support for human embryonic stem cell research. Building on comments made by Nancy Reagan last month, scores of senators on Monday called upon President Bush to loosen his restrictions on the controversial research, which requires the destruction of human embryos. (Quote by Lawrence S.B. Goldstein, who studies stem cells and Alzheimer's disease at the University of California at San Diego.)

Reagan's Private Fight Gave Alzheimer's a Public Face
San Diego Union-Tribune, June 10-President Reagan died Saturday, losing a 10-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. However, he and his family won the compassion of San Diegans and people all over the world and helped trigger the conviction to battle the disease. In 1995, the Alzheimer's Association created the Nancy and Ronald Reagan Research Institute in Chicago, with a commitment to explore and develop treatments for the disease. The institute has been instrumental in awarding grants and creating funding for researchers at UCSD's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. (Quote by Mary Sundsmo, director of UCSD's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.)

Energy Experience Likely to Aid State
Contra Costa Times, June 10-Global warming will hit California hard, but the state has already become a national leader in delaying and adapting to rising temperatures as it has pushed for tighter controls on automobile emissions and coped with a major energy crisis. Much of the effort, led by researchers at UC Berkeley and Scripps Institute of Oceanography at UC San Diego, is to better monitor changes and build more accurate computer models to help guide decisions by the public and policymakers.
