Mayo investigators have completed animal studies that are the first steps in showing that nerve connections can regenerate in the spinal cord. Anthony Windebank, M.D., and Michael Yaszemski, M.D., have assembled a multi-disciplinary team for this project with remarkable breadth. Areas involved include:
The Magic School Bus: Lisa Yamanaka, Maia Filar, Tara Meyer, Danny Tamberelli, Daniel DeSanto, Stuart Stone, Lily Tomlin, Erica Luttrell
The show revolves around the trials of the Winslows, a middle- class black family in Chicago. The character of Steve Urkel was supposed to be a one-time guest shot, an annoyingly nerdy kid with a lifelong crush on Laura, the Winslows' 13-year-old daughter. No one intended for him to be a running character. But that was before 13-year-old Jaleel White auditioned for the role. Jaleel came to the casting session in full nerd regalia, with a pocketful of pens, huge strapped-on eyeglasses, a crooked bow tie, and pulled-up pants that barely reached his ankles.
