It was not talking about storing some digitalized informations in an IC (Integrated Circuit). However, it was talking about storing informations in an artificial culture of live neurons. Recently, The scientists from Tel Aviv University did it. They said that it is a step to create the integration of living material into memory chips.

There are people have inappropriate behavior due to their over anxiety as their response to something that probable threat them, even a small one. Maybe we are too! But, anyway, currently, there are researchers try to uncover the reason behind this. At least, researchers from European Molecular Biology Laboratory ini Monterotondo, Italy, have uncovered mice’s [...]

Now, doctors have possibility new threatments for premature babies born with their eyes have not finished growing. IGFBP-3 have just known as the responsible protein to this case, even thought it is not new discovery protein. By increasing the protein to normal levels in premature babies, the babies would have blood vessel growth healthier. Hence, blood [...]

In according to WHO, there are 8 -12 % of couples are infertile globally. But, do you know that half of infertile couples fail to reproduce because of problems with male fertility? Fortunately, there was a good news since scientists in Hong Kong and China have identified a protein in sperm that could be responsible for [...]

Can you create a vagina? I can not, but doctors in Italy had created vaginas for two patients. They used stem cells from the patient’s own bodies to reconstruct a vagina. Next Possible Backthroughs After success in growing the vaginal tissue, Cinzia Marchese believes that creating intestinal, oral and eye tissues will become next possible breakthroughs. Woow..! We’ll [...]

KOMPAS reported that, recently, a researcher team from Agricultural Institute of Bogor (IPB) found mangosteens-without-seeds. The mangosteens are found in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In according to Sobir, Director of Tropical Fruits Research Center IPB, in 2005, mangosteeens gave 65% total income of Indonesia fresh fruits export. Hence, this discovery has given great opportunity for Indonesia to [...]

Yale University’s news release said that a research team from Yale, Harvard, the University of Colorado and the Burnham Institute had shown that neural stem cells reduce Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptoms in primates. The primates with PD had better movement and appetite, and had diminished tremors after being injected wth human neural stem cells. Professor Redmond [...]

Recently, researchers in University of Pittburgh and Stanford constructed very small gene therapy vector called a “minicircle” plasmid that can deliver MnSOD into mouse hematopoietic progenitor cells. The research is developed after the previous research result have shown that intravenous gene therapy delivery of the Manganese Superoxide Dismutase (MnSOD) Enzyme could protect mice from whole [...]

World Health Organization (WHO) said that between 50 - 80 million people in the world are infertile. Some of cases might be occur on men who usual consume Viagra for their sex activities-Ehm..

Four years after Human Genome Project was completed (2003), James D. Watson, The Nobel Prize winner who helped discover the molecular structure of DNA, got his entire genome map. He has just exposed all of his imperfections to public view. Now, he is taking personal risk due to his genome publicly available. Will Discrimination Occur? Genetically-based discrimination [...]
