- The Zika infection effects DNA replication and prevents production of some proteins needed for healthy brain growth.
- Levels of a protein (called p53), which helps control cell growth and death, shot up by 80 percent in human brain cells infected with the Asian Zika virus. Increased levels of the protein stop developing brain cells from growing and may cause the cells to commit suicide]]> 2016-10-26 15:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/queensoee/aafejzmtdfsx/wish/133361282 https://padlet.com/queensoee/aafejzmtdfsx/wish/133361646 2016-10-26 15:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/queensoee/aafejzmtdfsx/wish/133361646 https://padlet.com/queensoee/aafejzmtdfsx/wish/133362804  Researchers have discovered a new option for treating malignant pleura mesothelioma.

For the first time, researchers have grown eggs entirely in a lab dish.

Cells which create skin cells, called fibroblasts, which were taken  from the tip of an adult mouse’s tail, have successfully been reprogrammed to make eggs.

• Project Human Cell Atlas is about trying to map every cell in the human body, just like Google Maps is trying to map the globe
• If this plan works, it would be easier to treat new diseases because we would know how it got there, where it is, and what it's doing to the body, instead of having to wait and see.
