MY SINCHEW - Scientists use 3D printer to make tissue-like material, Apr 07, 2013

 

 "WASHINGTON-AFP) - British scientists have used a custom-made 3D printer to make living tissue-like material that could one day serve medical purposes, according to findings released Thursday. The material is made up of thousands of connected water droplets, encapsulated within lipid films, that can carry out some of the functions of human cells. These "droplet networks" could be the building blocks of a new technology used to pass on drugs and, down the road, could even replace damaged tissue, said a statement from Oxford University, where the scientists are based. Their findings were published in Friday's issue of the US journal Science. Since the so-called droplet networks are completely synthetic, don't have a genome and and don't replicate, they lack the problems linked with other methods of creating artificial tissues -- such as those using stem cells."

NEWS. com - Two men shot dead at Gatineau day care centre in Quebec, Canada, Apr 06, 2013

"A MAN has fatally shot another man then killed himself at a day care centre in Quebec, prompting authorities to evacuate the children as terror-stricken parents and guardians scrambled to retrieve their kids. Gatineau Police Chief Mario Harel said all 53 children were safe and unharmed, and police speculated that some children likely witnessed Friday's killings. "It's a small area, it's a close space,'' said Harel. "For sure, they should have been witness (to) the event.'' Harel said police received a call about an armed man with a shotgun threatening people. They arrived to find the man dead with a shotgun beside him and a second, unidentified employee of the day care, also dead. He said the shooting seemed to be related to a recent separation between a couple."
