Synopsis: Plants: Plant parts: Stalk:

Think of how trees share common technologies (leaves, trunk, roots) adapted to different kinds of environments

These so-called"induced pluripotent stem cells  (otherwise known as ips cells) are in turn capable of making every cell in the body.

"That made us realize that we had probably the largest repository of potential stem cells,

As a first step, Ryder and a team of stem cell scientists have reprogrammed the skin cells from a northern white rhinoceroses named Fatu, one of seven still alive,

Armed with this code, they then need to find a way of engineering a regular pigeon's stem cells into behaving like a passenger pigeon's stem cells by mutating the genome.

To endow ordinary lab mice with these traits Church will try to partially rewrite the genomes of mouse stem cells.

However, he admits that creating a passenger pigeon from the stem cells of an ordinary pigeon would involve a massive scale up of the same technologies.

the woolly mammoth stem cells could be implanted besides an elephant embryo early in development, producing a chimera animal with some tissues made from elephant cells and others from mammoths.

#Student in Kenya Invents Solar Powered Forest fire Detector Kenya Forest Services workers use branches to put out a fire at Karura forest in Nairobi.

we will someday be able to oetrain a tree to have its branches grow into the shape of end tables,

Once these unusual branches are fully grown, farmers can walk up to the tree and harvest the rocking chairs by cutting them down,

Insurance and real-estate magnate Eli Broad has become an influential funder of stem-cell research;

Part of that delusion is not realizing that for opposition to GM CROPS often doesn t stem from opposition to new technology at all.

But the solution may have been found in stem cells: Scientists in multiple countries are trying to figure out how to get them to produce the correct tissues and structure for the given situation on demand.

The price tag for the main trunk alone would be $90 billion, Salter estimated, which is $500 billion in today s dollars.

was published in the March 7 issue of Cell Stem Cell. If the inhibitor is equally effective in other animals,

Then you d create what s known as an induced pluripotent stem cell a cell that behaves much like one in an embryo.

this could be done by changing the genes of a human stem cell (in the case of a Neanderthal)

#Seed Library STEM Programs for Youth include Science Saturdays, astronomy programs, and LEGO Robotics programs for youth.

The trunks, which we refer to as Ready 2 Read Goes Wild, utilize the Growing Up Wild curriculum with a focus on Montana wildlife.

We have developed trunks that feature ungulates, bears, owls, creepy-crawlies, water, and tracks. Each of the trunks includes between 15#20 books on the subject,(both fiction and non-fiction;

puppets; the Growing Up Wild curriculum guide; and wildlife resources, such as grizzly hides, elk antlers, deer hooves, a number of rubber tracks, skulls, and more.

there are now 30 of these trunks circulating throughout our state. They circulate just like any library material

Stem Cell Advance Reignites Ethics Debate A new stem cell discovery has reawakened controversy about human cloning though technical challenges mean scientists are far from being able to create human babies as in Michael

which is the same one used to create the cloned sheep Dolly in 1996.5 Wild Stem Cell Discoveries

But in clones the trophoblast cells frequently fail perhaps a domino effect from just a few genes going wrong said Jose Cibelli a stem cell researcher at Michigan State university.

These cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells (ips cells) and their use is supported generally by anti-abortion groups such as the USCCB

and insert it in the place of the egg's original nucleus. Now that adult cell's genome can hum along in its new home creating stem cells without the mitochondrial defects present in its original form.

How Stem Cell Cloning Works (Infographic) That's neat because in one step you can technically get rid of that mitochondrial mutation Penn's Gearhart told Livescience.

The resulting embryonic stem cells could then theoretically be grown into adult cells to replace the ailing person's mutated cells.

My feeling is that it's sort of an unintentional step in that direction said Paul Knoepfler a stem cell researcher at the University of California Davis School of medicine.

and more broadly to enter STEM professions. And it stands out because of the social and environmental ramifications of human-powered vehicles which offer very tangible benefits to people in both developed and undeveloped nations.

First it removes foreign objects such as stems leaves and insects such as beetles from the grapes a capability that some wineries already possess in other optical approaches.

The process could potentially use stem cells. Industrial scale printing of meat could additionally use cells grown in an algae-based cell culture

Scientists have synthesized successfully meat using a 3d printer to align stem cells from animals in laboratory Petri dishes creating both hamburger

One of these considers the junction where the branch of a tree meets the trunk.

Cellulosic ethanol producers are trying to generate fuel from biomass such as leaves and branches. These feedstocks have the advantage that they are plentiful

its output second only to that of the United states. Fermenting the sugars in the country s abundant sugar cane produced a motor fuel that lowered carbon dioxide emissions,

Forty-one of the country s roughly 400 sugar-cane ethanol plants have closed over that time.

Rather than developing new plantations, the industry fell back on harvesting cane from older less-productive sites,

technical director and acting president of UNICA, Brazil s sugar-cane industry association, the government knows that the situation is unsustainable.

second-generation ethanol, produced from the tough cellulose in plant stalks. Cellulose is difficult to break down and ferment,

In December last year, the Brazilian Development Bank launched a 1-billion-real (US$481-million) credit line to stimulate research and development in cellulosic biofuels and other advanced sugar-cane technologies.

The Center for Sugarcane Technology, an industry-sponsored organization based in S £o Paulo has taken up a 357-million-real loan to build a cellulosic ethanol plant next year,

which would use waste plant matter from conventional sugar-cane fermentation.""We can double fuel yield per hectare

"Nothing shall compete with conventional sugar-cane ethanol until 2050

Obama rekindles climate hopesthroughout his reelection campaign, US President Barack Obama rarely said the words climate change.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the branch of the agriculture department responsible for overseeing GM CROPS,

including sugar cane and maize (corn). But most of the biomass produced in agriculture and forestry lies unused in more-complex chains of sugars, for example lignin and cellulose.

Wheat stem rust has the ability to turn a healthy-looking crop only one week away from harvest into a tangle of black stems Liang Qu the director of the Joint FAO/IAEA Programme

That's because they expect that wheat stem rust will eventually evolve resistance to these new wheats at

and can print with many more cell types including stem cells muscle cells and vascular cells. They also designed one printer to create both the synthetic scaffold and tissue in one fell swoop;

Science however has realized that Stem Cells from our babies work better and wonã¢Â#Â#t realize why until they read my paper.

#Japanese Scientist May have To Grow His Human Organs In American Pigshiromitsu Nakauchi is one of the most prominent stem-cell researchers in the world

which stem cells from one species are implanted in another which then grows an organ that can be harvested

back in 2010 he successfully induced a mouse embryo to grow a rat pancreas by using rat stem cells.

and implanting human stem cells. The pig embryos will then grow amazingly a human pancreas.

and insects are suited perfectly for environments where you have dynamic obstructions he trees are moving the branches are moving.

The rapid greening response of the grassland to rainfall is seen easily as well as the response of an individual cholla cactus as its branches become erect due to the rainfall.

But now there is a lot of interest in using sorghum for other things such as growing sweet sorghum in areas where they grow sugarcane and growing biomass sorghum for bioenergy through combustion or cellulosic technology.

Sweet sorghum where you squeeze the sugary juice out like sugarcane may be closer on the horizon.

or sugarcane he said. Brown added that with genetic studies and improvements there are other value-added opportunities for sorghum grain.

when he found a specific strain of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in sugar-cane which he discovered could intracellularly colonise all major crop plants.

Corn stover consists of the stem leaves and husk of the corn plant remaining after ears of corn are harvested.

Biochar is a plant byproduct similar to charcoal that can be made from lumber waste dried corn stalks and other plant residues.

Using computer models Moreira found that from 1975 to 2007 ethanol production from sugar cane in Brazil resulted in a net-negative capture of 1. 5 metric tons of CO2 per cubic meter of ethanol produced.

and retain students in science technology engineering and math or STEM. The competition is intended to link student design projects with senior

when it comes to producing bioethanol from plant parts like corn or sugar canes. Corn cubs and sugar canes are in fact plant parts that can also be used directly as food so there is a great public resistance to accept producing this kind of bioethanol.

A big challenge is therefore to become able to produce bioethanol from plant parts which cannot be used for food.

Cellulose is found everywhere in nature in rich quantities for example in the stems of the corn plant.

cellulosic, sugarcane, grain (mostly corn from the U s.)600 more plants are needed in next decade.

figure out the canes'orientation and the location of buds all to decide which canes to cut down.

In Southern California, engineers with the Spanish company Agrobot are taking on the challenge by working with local growers to test a strawberry harvester.
