Scientists find molecular switch that controls skin growth. Scientists have discovered a regulator of gene activity that tells epidermal stem cells when it”s time to grow more skin, as well as a “crowd control” molecule that can sense cell crowding and turn the growth off. The study, in mice and in human cancer cells, provides clues to new therapeutic strategies for cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common skin cancer, in which epidermal cell growth is inappropriately turned on. The findings could also aid efforts to grow skin grafts and treat burn patients.

Camargo and colleagues manipulated a molecule called Yap1 to cause massive tumor growth by triggering a pathway known as Hippo. When they suppressed Yap1 function in mice, their epidermal skin stem cells failed to expand and they had thin, fragile skin. Groups seek formal probe into Ottawa’s ‘muzzling’ of scientists. The Information Commissioner of Canada is being asked to launch a formal investigation into the federal government’s policy of controlling media access to scientists.
The government has been under fire from a number of groups over the past few years for refusing to give federally funded scientists clearance to grant interviews without first getting approval from a high level. In some cases scientists have been told they can’t speak to the media at all, even after their research findings have been published.
In a report released last month, the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Victoria catalogued a number of such incidents and accused the government of “muzzling” it scientists and keeping the public in the dark about key issues such as climate change and the impact of oil sands development. “Basically we are saying there is a systematic pattern in the government’s actions in restricting public access to research,” said Mr. Sandborn.

Scientist Proves DNA Can Be Reprogrammed by Words and Frequencies. © Adam Scott Miller We came across this article today and thought that it would be a great read for our viewers.
It’s awesome information showing the true nature of our reality and how science is changing everyday, opening up to the possibilities of this reality. “Scientist Prove DNA Can Be Reprogrammed by Words and Frequencies By Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf THE HUMAN DNA IS A BIOLOGICAL INTERNET and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. The Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev and his colleagues also explored the vibrational behavior of the DNA. One can simply use words and sentences of the human language! This finally and scientifically explains why affirmations, autogenous training, hypnosis and the like can have such strong effects on humans and their bodies. Garjajev’s research group succeeded in proving that with this method chromosomes damaged by x-rays for example can be repaired.
99 Resources to Research & Mine the Invisible Web. College researchers often need more than Google and Wikipedia to get the job done. To find what you're looking for, it may be necessary to tap into the invisible web, the sites that don't get indexed by broad search engines. The following resources were designed to help you do just that, offering specialized search engines, directories, and more places to find the complex and obscure. Search Engines Whether you're looking for specific science research or business data, these search engines will point you in the right direction.

Materials. This Will Never Happen Again. Nothing is permanent. That’s not really news, but it may mean more than you think, on a day-to-day level. In each moment, everything around you is constantly changing, and it never changes back. It’s always new. Some changes are subtle, some dramatic, but all of it is changing.
Life is uncertain by its very nature. Except for this: No matter what is happening right now, It will never happen again. Not quite like this anyway. Think about where you are, and who you are, today. You will never have exactly these same problems again. You’ll never have exactly these same advantages again. You can be certain you will lose all of them, you just don’t know when, and which will disappear first. It’s easy to spot similarities and patterns in your life. Your situation is an extremely delicate and unstable structure, it just can’t stay the way it is. Your to-do list and your inbox will never again contain today’s unique assortment of hopes and worries. Your kids will never be exactly this age again. Researchers create robot exoskeleton that is controlled by a moth running on a trackball. If you’re terrified of the possibility that humanity will be dismembered by an insectoid master race, equipped with robotic exoskeletons (or would that be exo-exoskeletons?)
, look away now. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have strapped a moth into a robotic exoskeleton, with the moth successfully controlling the robot to reach a specific location inside a wind tunnel. In all, fourteen male silkmoths were tested, and they all showed a scary aptitude for steering a robot. In the tests, the moths had to guide the robot towards a source of female sex pheromone. The researchers even introduced a turning bias — where one of the robot’s motors is stronger than the other, causing it to veer to one side — and yet the moths still reached the target. As you can see in the photo above, the actual moth-robot setup is one of the most disturbing and/or awesome things you’ll ever see. In essence, the polystyrene (styrofoam) ball acts like a trackball mouse. 10 Unbelievable Facts About Human Brain That Everyone Should Know. - Unbelievable Facts.
