Blood Cells perform the most vital functions that is to distribute oxygen throughout our body and collects the carbon dioxide that each of our tissues produce. Basically our body needs oxygen to survive and produce carbon dioxide as a waste product. A certain amount of energy( a pressure) is needed to keep the blood cells travel throughout our body. This energy is supplied by our heart which is mysteriously keeps pumping even when it is intially produced on a petri dish.
Always remember that that this energy that will keep us alive must be maintained. Having the right energy will keep our body function properly. If there is too much energy, it could cause hypertension and will slowly destroy our body and could cause our death. So proper diet and healthy lifestyle is needed to avoid such incidences.
In the future, once we know exactly how all this things really works, and has developed devices that will help us control this energy, we can expect that we can have a healthier, enjoyable and painless lifestyle no matter how negligent and careless we are.
In the USA, there is a law that prohibits the government from funding research that could harm or destroys human embryos. Does this means that Stem Cell Research really violates this LAW? To some extent yes if scientist use human embryos as specimens. It does not when the source of stems cell comes from other parts of the body.
It is really immoral but to use human embryos as specimens. Why do scientist needs the stem cells in human embryos? Well it is the most potent of all stem cells according to them. But sad to say, it is the main source of human life during its early stages. Maybe there could be some other ways to get the substance.
And because it is considered immoral the US government has disapproved hundreds of grants for Stem Cell research. For now, the whole world views it as immoral and unacceptable.
With the recent showing of the movie “2012″, I thought of checking out some speculations of what is going to happen on December 21, 2012. To my surprise, there is an speculation that there will be no major apocalyptic event on the said date but instead there will be a major change in our DNA. A major DNA upgrade that is. A major upgrade in DNA would mean in a conservative point of view, will be a major catastrophy. But if we will look at it more closely, a DNA upgrade could make us a lot smarter, more beautiful, stronger, etc.
At present, our knowledge of DNA has almost matured that some scientists are able to compare DNA from our various ancestors to our current DNA. They have astonishing discovery that there really several occurences of major DNA upgrades in the past and always coincides with the 26,000 year period which is about to happen on December 12, 2012.
Although it didn’t moved me at all because it was just a speculation or is it? Well who knows? Here is the documentary on which I based my article and you may visit his website http://www.maya12-21-2012.com/index.html . And more details can be found by googling.
This post is somehow a continuation of my previous post about the device that will enable us to transform a chicken into a dog and back without doing any harm or giving any pain to the chicken.
If the time will come that such a device will become a reality then perhaps a more sophisticated form of weaponry can also be developed that will surprisingly be more powerful than the atomic bomb. These biological weapons could be block the communications between cells causing each cell to either die instantly or probably stay away from each other and within minutes, the chicken would have become a mere form of liquid.
These are some of the reasons why many scientists today are more focused on research and development related activities in Biotechnology aside from the fact that there are still a lot of patentable discoveries, processes and technologies.
Human skin cells as the largest organ tissue, interfaces with our invironment and has a lot of interesting features which can be tapped by Electronic Gadget Designers/Researchers.
Our skin when used as an ordinary material and harnessed its immense power could bring new generation of sensors and eminently highly accurate and sophisticated electronic gadgets.
If you could just make electronic instruments that will automatically tell you the characteristics of a material, sense temperature and pressure, can easily detect which part of the machine is failing, sense movements around it? The drawdown is that it easily gets destroyed at high temperatures and it ages but that might not be a problem when we have unlocked the mystery of cell regeneration and learned how to accelerate it.
And based on the latest biological researches and experiments, skin cells can be reprogrammed to transform itself into stem cells, now we are talking about reconfigurable architecture.
Cells as the basic form of life that we know have the characteristics of organizing themselves to work harmoniously to form a system that is part of a living organism just like us humans. Cells are ultimately highly scalable and so sophisticated. Cells is an envy of most Electronics Engineers and so began to emerge a new area of Science called SyNAPSE(Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics).
And coincidentaly and very recently, I have been investing most of my time developing an intelligent electronic switch(EiBox) with an original vision of creating a system that will enhance the lifestyle of every man on the planet by basically improving the efficiency and usefulness of the appliances in the house. But then, I realized how important EiBox can be, it can be used as a security alarm, energy saver and since Eibox can communicate with other EiBoxes in three different methods(RF, Wired and through the use of a hub or PC which doubles as a command center), I realized that I can create a program to make Eibox represent the neuron or a cell and the network of EiBoxes can be made intelligently to behave like a living organism. EiBox can be made scalable up to the biological level.
What does this means? It’s like having a home that thinks and intelligent enough to protect itself. So each time you leave the house, you’d think as if you have your house in your pocket. There is nothing you don’t know about your house even when you are in it.
In the next mellinium or probably more, if ever the human race can make it and cell communications and behavior has been mastered and haas become a common knowledge, is it also possible that humans can invent devices to instruct the cells to transform a living organism from one form to another and back to its orginal form and composition?
I believe that this can be possible because as we commonly know it, cells are powerfull enough and with catalyst, can form living tissues on a petri dish and cells have the ability to manipulate the atom…which how they mainly operate…remember how the slight diffrences in the structure of sugar/protein can cause the cell to change accordingly?
The Cell seems to be endlessly working processing information and communicating with its neighboring cellls to form the brain that does a lot of thinking. The brain which is of course made up of cells is where our Mind or our consciousness is.
The Mind is such a wonderful creation because it is capable of doing wonderful things aside from the fact that it gives humans the necessary thinking power. It is capable of creating new ideas, learning new knowledge, inventing new devices, discovering what lies beneath and the best of all and is so mysterious and inexplainable is that it is capable of loving and defying logic unpredictably.
This latter could be because no one can ever provide absolute explanation as to how cells contribute to the Mind’s thinking power.
The existence of the cell was first known during the middle of the 16th century mainly because of the advancement in microscopy. Why is that so, when there are a number of cells big enough to be seen by the naked eye like the biggest cell — the Ostrich Egg?
History had it that the Egg Cell during that time is something where the chicken came from and it was not thought of anything else other than a delicious and nutritious food. No one ever really thaught of this humble Egg Cell as one type of the most fundamental building block of life.
It is really fascinating how the human knowledge in this field has evolved from just being a food to the most precious and the most beautiful and leading proof of God’s power to design an object incomprehensible to us human as of the moment.
As mentioned in the previous article, the most potent Stem Cell can only be found in an 8-day old fertilized human egg, if this is true, then there is no other way to produce stem cell other than the method of fertilizing a human egg either naturally or artificially.
Why is this so? It is an overwhelmingly not just a coincidence…it is the cycle of life that asserts that only God is capable of creating new life through (not the sexual union of a man and a woman but) the union of the sperm cell and the egg cell.
