| | Human spinal motor nerves have been grown in a laboratory for the first time in a breakthrough which scientists believe will have far-reaching implications for the treatment of devastating injuries and diseases. Motor nerves branch out from the spinal cord and brain to transmit messages which dictate almost every movement in the body.
The success announced by US scientists could help the victims of spinal cord injuries or lead to new treatments for crippling disorders such as motor neurone disease. Researchers also hope the results will be used to treat incurable conditions such as Parkinson's and insulin-dependent diabetes. They also predict that it could have potential in repairing injury to hearts and nerves. In the shorter term, it will allow scientists to create motor neurone modelling systems for screening new drugs.

Some Things I Hate
all random things that gets on my nerves (2) OK I use the bus for transport right to get into the city, It takes so long about 40mins or more to
get into town and I have to sit near people who stink from body oder. Come on take a bath please lol
you don't have to use fancy perfumes to cover up the smell but at least do something to reduce
it. The next person you site next to isn't guaranteed to be smell impaired. Maybe wash them
cloths you wear every few days or so. I also hate the loud girls who sit in the bus and play their
hip-hop music, I'm only saying that because you never hear someone crank up th....
Bismuth Crystals
Fascinating rhombic lab-grown crystals (4) Bismuth crystals are peculiar, lab-grown stones that form intricate rhombic patterns. The patterns
repeat on different axes and look like small cities. The metal almost seems to be "high-tech",
it's really quite amazing and it's almost ambiguous as to what your looking at. All of the
real information about this strange material is available on Wikipedia of course, but I must
recommend a Google for 'Bismuth Crystals' to see some diverse photographs. Seeing these for
the first time is like the revealing of an entirely different, mathematical aspect of na....
Successfully Installing Joomla [resolved]
Has anyone done it? (2) Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone around here has successfully installed Joomla on their
Trap17 web space. If so, what was your solution to the session save path dilema? I attempted to make
a custom php.ini with no luck and also attempted to edit the htaccess.txt file. All of these
solutions yielded no result, my session save path is still not set, and I can't properly install
Joomla 1.0.13. Should I try using 1.5 RC4? I doubt that would matter, any advice or help is greatly
appreciated /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt=....

Stem Cell Research - Yea Or Nay
Discussion on Stem Cell Research (3) So as many of you may have heard, GW Bush just vetoed a bill that would have loosened the ban on
funding stem cell research involving human embryos in the US. I'm curious if this aversion to
stem cell research is really that wide spread. Is it an opinion held mostly by conservatives or is
it equally distributed? Should it be funded by the government? I want to know what you people think.
Please don't post if you don't know what a stem cell is. Also, this is NOT a discussion of
abortion... so don't even start. I think most people on these forums who kno....

What Is Serial Endosymbiotic Theory?
How did cells develop from simple to complex? Mitochondria and chloro (4) I am not sure how many people are familiar with cells and biology. I wanted to share something that
I researched for a class. I am in a botany class and one of the things we had to do for our class
is an evolution project. We could do it on anything at all. I have always been facinated by
mitochondria. For those of you that do not know mitochondria are small organelles in our cells.
They are the power house of the cell. They create and convert food particles for simplicities sake
into ATP which is our main energy source for the things we do. For example I am usin....
Thc Found To Kill Leukemia Cells
(THC = active ingredient in marijuana) (12) http://www.affymetrix.com/community/wayahe...c_leukemia.affx A group in London discovered that
THC helps to kill leukemia cells by affecting a certain gene. MKP3, enhanced by THC, helps stop the
MAPK pathway, which some scientists believe is a factor in the survival of tumor cells. So another
plus for marijuana? Think that the U.S. will ever legalize it nationally, even if just for medical
purposes? I think we're just too conservative as a country to do it, even if it has some big
benefits =/....
Stem Cell Research
Bush (3) Since Bush has started he has only been demanding war and making US fall behind in new things. For
example the stem cell research. In my opinion stem cells hold an important key to life. Bush has
said that he will not allow the destruction of new life for others. But more recently a professor at
University of Connecticut has come up with a new way to produce embryonic cells: cloning. He says
that he can make embryos with cloning. The problem is that he need 10 million dollars for the
operation and Bush has refused to found the operation. So that proves he is not allowing....

all countries can use this technology to maintain the safety of the earth. And try to find new

computation, and the, user interface. Different teams could work on different parts and coordinate
