Can anyone tell me the composition of the Schwann Cells that makes them unique the way they are?

cough GATTACA cough, anyone remember the part with teh 6 fingered pianist? If designer babies can give someone an advantage over someone else, competition and natural selection demands that they take advantage of the advantage.

-edit- eesh seems some mods cant understand humour- but anyways... edit.

The main problem with that is getting them to grow like normal bone would... also our bones themselves are designed to be lightweight and versatile, it would be very difficult to find a replacement

thats not to mention plasmids are a hell lot easier to work with than dense complex chromosomes packed with histones and nucleosomes. oops i really need to read more carefully

My agar it self is white due to the lactose and other various materials

First of all, desirable traits such as intelligence, muscle growth, etc. etc. are the work of not just one gene, rather a conglomerate of countless genes that code for countless proteins that are directly linked to many other factors. The best method to perform genetic recombination would be through natural selection, although slow, it does work as a very stable and safe method of evolution. However, I do believe that once enough research has been conducted on how the genes work together, we should be able to mix n' match safely and without much trouble. But as of right now, I do not believe that it would be a good idea to perform genetic recombination, at least on humans. But, there do exist certain single genes which are DIRECTLY responsible for many of the crippling genetic birth defects. Which is also one of the reasons why genetic recombination exists. but its gonna be long time before GATTACA becomes a reality (for those who have seen the movie.)

"Again without natural selection, there is no sence of well adapted or poorly adapted genes. All of the genes are good enough for survial." Huntington's for example, even though causes an onset of neurological disorders usually after reproductive ages, is still life crippling. Wouldn't this be categorized as a poorly adapted gene even though it survives? While genes that are responsible fitness (as exemplified by many Africans) adapt better to the African environment than say the typical Caucasian gene.

they only seem to be selling Eosin Y and Methlyene blue, and only small quantities of 15ml. I'm not exactly sure how effective those two products are.

yeah thats the same article I read.

Do NOT ask me how I know this... But I've heard there exists a type of legal anime porn (yes cartoon porn) called lolikon which pretty much depicts cartoon underaged kids performing... well you get the idea. But would this count as pedophilia as well? even though its with cartoons?

I'm pretty sure the dendrites do not connect to the axons, but rather exchange chemical synpases with other nearby dendrites.

Hello, still being the newbie to microbiology I am, can someone give me some staining directions for shoe bacteria and fungus? Since right now they are pretty much white and transparent.

Our skin needs millions of pores for various purposes, for example sweat glands. They would also have to be directly connected to the endodermal layer of cells, which would mean you would have to skinned alive then have another sheet of porous metal (if thats possible) attached to you. Skin pores can also open and close, unlike metallic and plastic pores which would pretty much stay open... So Unless you want to be sweaty/watery all the time and eventually rust from your own sweat, do what you want

IQ tests are like SATs, they only measure potential. Sure as hell any one with an IQ over 100 can match the work with an IQ of 140 if they put in the effort.

Aging and dying is all a part of evolution, its quite efficient as a mean of getting rid of bad genes

I've gotten forbidden b4

aneurysm?

hahahaha jdurg i'll remember that in college

Genetically speaking, our brain's really couldn't have evolved much, however, the nurturing environment that we now live in greatly affects how intelligent we are. WE now have schools, computers, internet and technology that allows us to learn faster

I wish I could sleep with one half of my brain and do homework in the other...
