Elfenbein: Skin-to-stem-cell reprogramming bypassed ethical hurdles in biology

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Aryé Elfenbein on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Elfenbein: Foie gras is predominantly comprised of a single cell type

“And the reason is because it's relatively homogeneous in terms of its texture, and it's actually also predominantly one cell type. So it's not sort of fat cells and liver cells. It's mostly liver cells that have just been exposed to a lot of fat.”
