PHYSICS

MR NIW demonstrated air and stuff like that lo nothin intereting

Confusing Chinese Names (funny)

Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan (anyone)?

Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.

Caller : No, I want to speak to Annie Wan (anyone)!

Operator : You are talking to someone! Who is this?

Caller : I'm Sam Wan (Someone). And I need to talk to Annie Wan (anyone)! It's urgent.

Operator : I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what's this urgent matter about?

Caller : Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan (anyone) that our brother Noel Wan (no one)has involved in an accident. Noel Wan (no one)got injured and now Noel Wan (no one) is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital.

Operator : Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgen t matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!

Caller : You are so rude! Who are you?

Operator : I'm Saw Lee (Sorry).

Caller : Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!!

WE FINALLY GET TO DO EXPERIMENT SHOCKER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ==

Modified Mosquitoes May Be Anti-Malaria Allies

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is like a scifi thing ........ is the world going to turn into bio warfare look at this

The enemy of our enemy may be our new partner in stopping a global health crisis.
With World Malaria Day (April 25) around the corner, new discoveries suggest our greatest allies in the fight against malaria may be the mosquitoes themselves.


Although saddled with a lousy public image, mosquitoes have immune systems that actually kill 80 to 90 percent of the malaria parasites that enter the insect's bodies, a new study says.
The discovery is part of an international effort to create a new generation of malaria treatments.
Genetically modified, malaria-fighting mosquitoes or even antibodies injected into humans and "fed" back to mosquitoes could someday be more effective at slowing the disease than today's simple mosquito nets, researchers say.
(Related: "Twitter-Celeb Mosquito Nets: What Good Will They Do?")
Triple Threat to Malaria
Malaria-parasite populations are lower when the parasites are inside mosquitoes, so some experts think it may be more effective to attack malaria inside the insects—before it enters human hosts.
Understanding how the mosquito immune system fends off malaria is an important part of bringing such a plan to fruition.
Now researchers say they've worked out the mechanism that drives one of the mosquitoes' defenses.
Three proteins in mosquito blood form a complex that "binds to a malaria parasite and punches holes through its membrane," destroying the layer that protects the parasite and holds all its important parts together, said Imperial College London biologist George Christophides, who co-authored the report, published in the April 10 issue of the journal Science.
Previously researchers had identified the three proteins and noticed that one of them seemed similar to microbe-killing proteins in other animals and in humans

How It Might Work
A mosquito-up approach to malaria control is feasible in the long term, researchers say. There are a couple of ways it could work.
In one scenario, scientists could create genetically modified mosquitoes, granting their immune systems pumped-up malaria-killing abilities.
The key would be to find a genetic drive mechanism—some factor that would give the new, malaria-fighting genes a selective advantage and help them spread quickly through wild mosquito populations via breeding, said Gregory Lanzaro, director of the Vector Genetics Lab at the University of California, Davis.
No one has figured this out for mosquitoes yet. But the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is already testing a similar concept in blood-sucking assassin bugs as a way to stop the spread of deadly, difficult-to-cure Chagas disease, Lanzaro said.
The other option would be to develop antibodies that can fight the parasites' early, mosquito-dwelling forms—and "feed" the antibodies to the insects via human blood.
Mosquito immune systems don't produce antibodies on their own. And by the time the parasites reach humans, they have matured and found ways to hide out from human antibodies, said Marcelo Jacobs-Lorena, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute in Baltimore.
But if we vaccinate humans with antibodies that target mosquito-stage malaria, those antibodies could be passed on to the mosquitoes when they feed on treated human blood, Jacobs-Lorena said.
Combined with a second, protective vaccine, this could be a real possibility, he said.
"There's a partially effective vaccine that protects humans that's being tested," Jacobs-Lorena said. "Neither it, nor the transmission-blocking vaccine would be 100 percent effective, but the combination may work."

Liposuction Fat Turned Into Stem Cells

This is a new dicovery by reaserchers

Using leftovers from liposuction patients, scientists have turned human fat into stem cells, a new study says.


The new method is much more efficient than a previous practice that used skin cells, researchers say.


The discovery may also help avoid the controversy spawned by the use of stem cells from human embryos. (See stem cell research pictures.)
Human fat is "an abundant natural resource and a renewable one," said Stanford University plastic surgeon Michael Longaker, whose liposuction patients donated the fat for the study.
Longaker envisions a future in which doctors will be able to use fat from a patient to grow, in a lab, new tissues and organs for that patient.
The opportunity wouldn't be limited to the obese.
"Even if you're in great shape, there is still enough fat to be harvested from the vast majority of patients," added Longaker, who co-authored the study.
From Fat to Stem Cells to New Organs?
The reprogrammed cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, are capable of turning into most types of cells in the body.
Scientists are keen to obtain these cells to study disease and, one day, use them to grow new tissue and replacement organs.
Previously, researchers had shown that they could derive this type of stem cell from ordinary skin cells.
But the fat technique is about twice as fast and 20 times more efficient, said Joseph Wu, the study's senior author. ite interesting"We can get iPS-like colonies, basically, in about 16 days, compared to 28 days to 32 days using [skin]," said Wu, a Stanford stem cell expert. "And if you count the number of colonies in [skin] versus fat ... we get about 20 times more the number of iPS colonies."
The research appears online today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.


Reprogramming Cells
To create the stem cells, the scientists injected Trojan horse-like viruses into smooth muscle cells found in fat that surrounds blood vessels. Once inside, the viruses introduced genes that reprogrammed the cells, spurring them to grow into new forms.
Previously, this process had required growing the stem cells in a culture dish with nutrients from mouse cells. This had raised alarms about the potential for contamination from mouse proteins—a potential obstacle to government approval, Longaker, the plastic surgeon, said.
That the new method works at all is "somewhat surprising" and remains something of a mystery, Longaker said.
Sidestepping Stem Cell Controversy
The fat and skin methods allow researchers to sidestep the ethical controversy over the use of embryonic stem cells from cell lines originally harvested from unused human embryos from in vitro fertilization clinics.
In addition, Longaker noted, tissue or organs grown from a patient's own stem cells should be less likely to be rejected by the body.
The speediness of the fat method, in particular, could be lifesaving, he added.
For example, if a surgeon wanted to implant new heart tissue—derived from a heart attack victim's own fat—into a patient, the doctor might have only a short time before scar tissue would compromise the operation.
If he or she were able to generate the tissue within a few weeks, Longaker said, that "would be a big deal."
