http://cerritosbioblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/stem-cell-breakthrough.html
Dr Yabroff's Bio Blog. Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Two research teams have found a way to reprogram human skin cells to act like stem cells. Stem cells have the abililty to become any type of cell in the body. Imagine the possibilities for the future; if you need to replace brain cells, take some of your skin cells and doctors can tell them to become nerve cells! If your heart is damaged, maybe you can make new heart cells from your skin? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dr Yabroff's Bio Blog. Monday, August 20, 2007. 2 Million Year Old Footprint? Scientists in Egypt have found a footprint from a human ancestor that may be as old as 2 million years! The footprint was most likely made in mud that hardened into rock. This imprint is considered a fossil and its exact age can be determined by looking at plants found in the same rock. Scientists can use Carbon dating, which takes advantage of a rare radioactive isotope of Carbon called Carbon 14. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
