Abstract: Cloning, or asexual reproduction, is the typical way that simple organisms reproduce. However, mammals normally cannot reproduce asexually. This chapter is part of a book that traces the development of a limited understanding of cellular regeneration that led to the cloning of adult mammals. An explosion of research with stem cells and related areas has followed. This research is designed to understand cellular differentiation, and use this knowledge with the potential of greatly advancing medical practice.

Abstract: This is a slide show [and PDF] of an interview with Sam Leonard conducted on his birthday, November 26, 2005. The conversation with friends was spirited as Sam recounted that in 1931, at 26 years of age, he published two seminal papers. One paper demonstrated that estrogen could be used as a contraceptive pill. The other paper was the first one to demonstrate that the anterior pituitary gland produced two gonadotropins, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. Sam chuckled as he recounted his discovery that all you needed to do to get female canaries to sing was to give them a male voice with testosterone.

Abstract: This is an account of a remarkable endocrinologist and a fun-loving, ethical human being. The autobiography combines serious accounts of research with the joys of living, both avidly pursued by Samuel L. Leonard. The autobiography is neatly sectionalized into short chronological periods starting with his birth in 1905 and then following his career after graduating from Rutgers University Phi Beta Kappa. He was among the first to discover the contraceptive effects of estrogen, and reported that two distinct gonadotropins were produced by the anterior pituitary. The account concludes with the death in 1990 of his loving, devoted wife, mother and companion, Olive. His list of 113 outstanding publications is appended.

Abstract: Professor Emeritus Sam Leonard modestly recounts some of his illustrious career starting in the 1920s. Most of the seminar was devoted to early research on the various endocrine glands and their secretions by pioneering endocrinologists. Sam knew many of these pioneers and he provides personal glimpses into their lives and research. It is remarkable how much these brilliant researchers contributed to the field, given the limited resources and technology available to them, and the accuracy with which Professor Leonard recounts their activities. Excerpts from an amateur video recording of his talk are included.

Ronald Abstract: Dr. Sydney A. Asdell was the first Ph.D. student of F.H.A. Marshall at Cambridge University. Dr. Asdell had an encyclopedic memory. This served him well in teaching and research, and especially in compiling and organizing his book "Patterns of Mammalian Reproduction." This book is a classic compendium of the major facts of reproduction in many species. This brief biography summarizes his life and scientific career.
