Extra body parts available. Who needs one?

Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) is working with a bioprinter from regenHU to produce different human tissues. Bioprinting allows three dimensional tissue production in a fast and controlled manner by the precise positioning of primary cells, biomaterials and growth factors. Thereby, bioprinted tissues simulate the complex in vivo situation of our body. Tissues are produced in a layer by layer mode by alternating photopolymerized bioink and cells. Before using for substance testing the tissue are matured in a cell culture environment. In future, printed tissues could reduce animal experiments in drug development and foster regenerative medicine. The printed structure is visible in  a fast and controlled manner by the precise positioning of primary cells, biomaterials and growth factors. Thereby, bioprinted tissues simulate the complex in vivo situation of our body. Tissues are produced in a layer by layer mode by alternating photopolymerized bioink and cells. Before us...

Google Genomics, the cloud-based computing business that is racing to increase its share of online DNA analytics, today began offering a cloud service version of the popular DNA analysis software from the Broad Institute, a biomedical research organization.  http://reut.rs/1QPwdHj

DNA moving to the Cloud.

DNA on the cloud. Ever thought of storing your DNA in cyber space? Well that science fiction is near, as near as three years away. That's by 2018. And top contender to keep this prize possession are Amazon and Google. Reuters reports that is in the lead and may be the first to be able to store data on human DNA on the cloud. This potential $1 billion earner should be able to assist scientific research and aid medical discoveries. Google is closeing in. But the race is tight and with the next couple of months we may have a clearer picture of who among the two or maybe another player will own the bragging rights. Tick tack.

With the rains in most city, comes heavy traffic. Lagos certainly is not strange to this. But one would have thought that with the queues at petrol stations, their would be less traffic. How's end of your commute like in your area?
