Being Human

I'm not a scientist but wouldn't it be possible if we could clone the Earth? I mean there have been breakthroughs in cloning human beings, animals and such. We have the technology to make this happen or maybe even start formulating plans to make this happen. Maybe the technology needed is a few years in the future, but I believe if we were to get a sample of every living organism on the planet (excluding humans) we might be able to actually clone the earth and see the differences between our Earth(the one we're currently inhabiting) and the genetically made one. We can compare the difference and similarities between the two planets and actually see how much influence humans have actually made on the planet.

This is just a theory.

Tietze's syndrome is often mistaken for a slew of other disorders, including costochondritis. The disease (a benign inflammation of the ribs) is named after Alexander Tietze and is thus called Tietze's syndrome (not tsetse syndrome).

Washington, DC -- In a discovery that rebuffs conventional scientific thinking, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) have discovered a novel way to block the activity of the fusion protein responsible for Ewing's sarcoma, a rare cancer found in children and young adults.

Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) have discovered a key switch that makes stem cells turn into the type of muscle cells that reside in the wall of blood vessels.

PITTSBURGH, July 5 -- Using zebrafish, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified and described an enzyme inhibitor that allows them to increase the number of cardiac progenitor cells and therefore influence the size of the developing heart. The findings are described in the advance online version of Nature Chemical Biology.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The wife of embattled South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford called his affair with an Argentine woman "inexcusable" butSpeedmaster Reduced Watches said Thursday she is willing to forgive him.

After a long, long wait, the BCA published its list of 'evidence' on the Simon Singh case. There was one paper that no-one could find for a while that has finally emerged into public view, and it doesn't look good. For those of you who haven't been following the BCA-Simon Singh libel case, I recommend Sense About Science, who also run a petition that you should definitely sign; Jack Of Kent for the legal side; and the Lay Scientist and Gimpy for their ongoing coverage. This post investigates the conflicts of interest in the paper by Joan M Fallon D.C. F.I.C.C.P., and is taken from my regular blog at Blue-Genes. Click here to view the original (it's prettier).

Edmonton, Alberta (July 3, 2009) -- The health problems of Indigenous peoples around the world are intimately tied to a number of unique factors, such as colonization, globalization, migration, and loss of land, language and culture.

El Niño years typically result in fewer hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean. But a new study suggests that the form of El Niño may be changing potentially causing not only a greater number of hurricanes than in average years, but also a greater chance of hurricanes making landfall, according to climatologists at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Although the tiny roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has only 302 neurons in its entire nervous system, studies of this simple animal have significantly advanced our understanding of human brain function because it shares many genes and neurochemical signaling molecules with humans. Now MIT researchers have found novel C.

Using a worldwide combination of diverse telescopes, astronomers have discovered that a giant galaxy's bursts of very high energy gamma rays are coming from a region very close to the supermassive black hole at its core. The discovery provides important new information about the mysterious workings of the powerful "engines" in the centers of innumerable galaxies throughout the Universe.

An international collaboration of 390 scientists reports the discovery of an outburst of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma radiation from the giant radio galaxy Messier 87 (M 87), accompanied by a strong rise of the radio flux measured from the direct vicinity of its super-massive black hole.

SANTA CRUZ, CA--A new class of pulsars detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is solving the mystery of previously unidentified gamma-ray sources and helping scientists understand the mechanisms behind pulsar emissions.

Prostate cancer patients who receive brachytherapy and remain free of disease for five years or greater are unlikely to have a recurrence at 10 years, according to a study in the July 1 issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).

Brachytherapy is the placement of radioactive sou

NEW YORK, JULY 2, 2009 -- A new study by researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) reveals the genetic underpinnings of what causes lung cancer to quickly metastasize, or spread, to the brain and the bone -- the two most prominent sites of lung cancer relapse. The study will be published online in the journal Cell on July 2.

BEER-SHEVA, ISRAEL, July 2, 2009 -- Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered that gene mutations that once helped humans survive may increase the possibility for diseases, including cancer.

The findings were recently the cover story in the journal Genome Research.

A scary unknown for many children, the prospect of surgery can cause intense preoperative anxiety.

Tampa, FL (July 1, 2009) -- A human growth factor that stimulates blood stem cells to proliferate in the bone marrow reverses memory impairment in mice genetically altered to develop Alzheimer's disease, researchers at the University of South Florida and James A. Haley Hospital found.

STANFORD, Calif. -- A molecule called telomerase, best known for enabling unlimited cell division of stem cells and cancer cells, has a surprising additional role in the expression of genes in an important stem cell regulatory pathway, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
