Antibody transforms stem cells directly into brain cells - 0 views

    Scientists have turned stem cells into brain cells using antibodies, which turned out to be simpler than using conventional methods. In the future, this could be a very effective method for treating neurological injuries, and would nearly eliminate any chance for rejection by the patient.

    Outbreak of hepatitis A infection in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The exposure is taking place within the countries and may be foodborne from a persistent common source.

    This is not scientific nor do I expect it to count towards my 10 articles, I just found it humorous and thought I would share :]

  • The researchers found these bacterial molecules in brain samples from people with HIV, as well as people with no known infectious disease but who had undergone brain surgery

      So in immunocompromised individuals, as well as those whose brains have been exposed to the operating room - which as we learned in class, can still house bacteria despite all precautions taken.

      Sneaky, sneaky viruses!
  • If living bacteria help to maintain brain health in some way, disruptions to them, for example from antibiotics, could contribute to disease

      It will be interesting to see what they discover as they research this more. My guess it that the bacteria in the brain are both beneficial and harmful.

  • Dyes injected into the brain, meanwhile, tended not to appear in the body

      Wouldn't a shot into the brain kill you, or at least be very painful?
  • Last fall, for instance, researchers found male genetic material in the brains of women (who almost certainly were not born with it). Perhaps during pregnancy, the scientists suggested, cells from male fetuses had crossed the placenta and entered the women’s bodie
  • Scientists have discovered, for instance, that HIV hides inside white blood cells that enter the brain in order to look for pathogens; they call this the Trojan horse strategy
  • a mind-bending concept

    Bacteria Can Bypass Blood-Brain Barrier? It's a surprise to researchers who believed the brain-blood barrier created an impenetrable fortress. How are molecules from dirt getting into white matter-and what are they doing up there?

    The Ottawa Hospital has been severely criticized in a report about practices and hygiene. The report was commissioned following a high number of Clostridium difficile cases over a two year period. This is especially relevant to me because it encompasses both CLS and microbiology.

Onions and Flu - Can Raw Onions Prevent the Flu? - Urban Legends - 1 views

    Although this article does not come from the most scholarly source, my dad and I were talking and he mentioned that if you slice an onion and place it in the corner of the room, it will "absorb" any flu virus present. This is not true.

  • interest surrounded one particular form of bacteria whose DNA was less than 86 percent similar to previously existing forms
    • Tiffany Arcand
      Tiffany Arcand on 09 Mar 13
       
      That's crazy. It's difficult for me to fathom the implications of that big of a difference in DNA because even the DNA of humans and apes is 95-98% similar.
  • Lake Vostok, which is believed to have been covered by ice for more than a million years but has kept its liquid state
    • Tiffany Arcand
      Tiffany Arcand on 09 Mar 13
       
      I wonder how that works, that the lake can remain liquid yet all the surrounding water is frozen as ice?
  • Exploring environments such as Lake Vostok allows scientists to discover what life forms can exist in the most extreme conditions
    • Tiffany Arcand
      Tiffany Arcand on 09 Mar 13
       
      Maybe this new bacteria could be similar to the domain Archaea since it can survive in such extreme conditions.

  • The possibility that the lake existed had first been suggested by a Soviet scientist in 1957

      The intelligence of scientists always astounds me. Even back in 1957 when technology was not as advanced as it is now they were able to make amazing discoveries such as this.
