By injecting stem cells directly into the brain, scientists have successfully reversed neural birth defects in mice whose mothers were given heroin during pregnancy. Even though most of the transplanted cells did not survive, they induced the brain's own cells to carry out extensive repairs.Transplanted stem cells have previously shown promise in reversing brain damage caused by strokes, as well a
An extract from grape seeds can kill cancer cells. This is the result of a research done at the University of Kentucky.

University of Michigan researchers have discovered that a key protein in cells plays a critical role in not one, but two processes affecting the development of cancer.
Scientists at Harvard Medical school claim they have found the one of the keys to why we age.
They believe it has to do with the cell’s decreasing ability to detect patterns in gene-expression over time.
They also believe this better explains why Resveratrol, a substance found in grapes and red wine, helps to slow down the [...]

(HealthDay News) -- In a medical first, a 30-year-old mother of two has successfully undergone the first transplantation of a breathing passage fashioned from a donor's airway and her own stem cells, researchers report.As of now, the woman, Claudia Castillo, who lives in Barcelona, Spain, with two children aged 15 and 4, does not need immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of the new organ.S
Well, this is truly amazing. Thanks to Adult Stem Cell research or as I like to say REPAIR Stem Cell research, doctors have been able to create a new windpipe (trachea) for a woman using her own REPAIR Stem Cells.
Claudia Castillo caught tuberculosis which in turn caused her trachea to collapse. It was [...]
LONDON - Doctors have given a woman a new windpipe with tissue grown from her own stem cells, eliminating the need for anti-rejection drugs. "This technique has great promise," said Dr. Eric Genden, who did a similar transplant in 2005 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. That operation used both donor and recipient tissue. Only a handful of windpipe, or trachea, transplants have ever been done.
For more than 30 years, Karen Mollison, 44, a divorced mother of three from Sale in Cheshire, hated her pitted and acne-scarred cheeks.
'I never saw myself in the mirror,' she says. 'I just saw my scars.' The effect on her confidence was catastrophic. 'I used to hide behind my hair. I felt unattractive all the time.'

You can specify the color of various areas of the ALV output.

By default, the size of the ALV output, columns, and rows depends on their content. This means: ● A column is at least as wide as its widest cell. ● The ALV output is at least as wide as all its columns together. ● A row is at least as high as its highest cell. You can easily increase the width of the ALV output and columns by specifying the required width. Decrease the wi
You can assign most of the properties that affect the appearance of columns in the ALV output in the following ways: ● You assign the property to the entire column. Each cell in the column then has this property. ● In separate field in each cell, you specify how each cell is to appear in the current column. You then assign this field to the current column. This allows you to assi
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more speciali

Picture: DOE/EEREPhotovoltaic cells (PVs) (also known as "solar cells") work by transforming light that comes from the sun directly into electricity without an intermediate mechanical device or thermal process. The term photovoltaic is derived by combining the Greek word for light, "phos", with the word "voltaic". The term "volt" is a measure of electricity named for Alessandro Volta (1745-1827),
During the 1960s and early 1970s the use of solar cells in space flourished but down on Earth electricity from the sun seemed not very perspective option. The high costs of the PV cells made them uneconomical for use on the earth where low price is the main factor. In the early 1970's a way to lower to cost of solar cells was discovered.
