The Imaginary Marching Band by scott peterman The Imaginary Marching Band is a series of open-source wearable instruments that allow people to create real music through pantomime. The Imaginary Trumpet With this work, I seek to advocate a more humorous and humane take on the devices that increasingly rule our daily lives. Although the computers we now carry with us wherever we go seem to draw us further and further into digital cocoons, I strongly believe as an artist that the future does not have to be so isolating. The Imaginary Marching Band proposes a reality where technology helps us interact with the real world in more memorable, unique, and ultimately fun ways.
Synthetic biology and the rise of the 'spider-goats' Freckles looks like a perfectly normal kid. She has bright eyes, a healthy white pelt and gambols happily with Pudding, Sweetie and her five other siblings, exactly as you might imagine young goats do. Until I fend her off, she's very keen on chewing my trousers. To the casual observer, and to goatherds, she shows no signs that she is not a perfectly normal farmyard goat. But Freckles is a long way from normal. She is an extraordinary creation, an animal that could not have existed at any point in history before the 21st century. MedCrave Group - Medcrave Online Journal of International Clinical Pathology Journal is an internationally - MOJ ICPJL International Clinical Pathology Journal is an internationally peer-reviewed, open access journal related to the latest trends and advances in the field of clinical pathology. Clinical pathology is a medical specialty that is related with diagnosing the disease based on the clinical analysis of bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, and tissue homogenates or extracts by using the mechanisms of chemistry, microbiology, hematology and molecular pathology. Clinical pathology is majorly the divisions of pathology, anatomical pathology. It is further divided into, clinical hematology, clinical chemistry, blood banking, clinical microbiology, molecular diagnostics, hematopathology, proteomics, etc. We delightfully welcomes original research papers, reviews and evaluation, expert opinions, case studies and short notes of scientific excellence related to afore mentioned field.

MIT is Organizing New Genetic Parts If you want to check out a book you go to the library. If you want to get a copy of the latest DNA, you go to MIT's Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Started in 2003, the Registry has developed from a few stored genes to a collection of more than 3000 genetic parts that can be spliced into DNA to modify an existing organism. Need your bacteria to glow in the dark? Want yeast to produce a banana smell? The Registry might have what you need. Rapid Assembly for Physical Voxel Fabrication (Digital Materials) Project Members: Jonathan Hiller Imagine a desktop fabricator capable of making perfectly repeatable, arbitrary, multi material 3D objects with microscale precision. The objects would be composed of millions or even billions of small physical building blocks (voxels). Some building blocks could be hard, some could be soft.
The Living Factory: Designing and Manufacturing with Synthetic Biology Central Saint Martins, Textile Futures Research Centre (TFRC) and InCrops are holding an evening of talks and discussion on the opportunities, risks and challenges associated with designing and manufacturing with synthetic biology horizon 2050. The word factory conjures up very specific images, but what if in future a factory resembled a greenhouse? Synthetic biology is an emerging science which allows us to reprogram living organisms with the purpose of generating custom-made materials. Bacteria and algae are re-programmed to produce biofuel or silk, yeast is engineered to make vanilla flavour.
Inflammatory myopathies Inflammatory myopathies are acquired, treatable autoimmune diseases, characterized clinically by weakness and soreness of muscles and elevated CK and pathologically by myonecrosis and mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates. More muscle biopsies are done for diagnosis of inflammatory myopathy than for any other category of muscle disease. The main inflammatory myopathies are polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and inclusion body myositis. Polymyositis affects predominantly adults who present with proximal weakness (without a rash),developing over a period of weeks or months. The muscle biopsy shows endomysial mononuclear cells and myonecrosis. Polymyositis is a cell-mediated autoimmune disorder in which cytotoxic (CD8-positive) lymphocytes and macrophages invade and destroy myofibers expressing MHC-I antigens.
