B. Human brain stem cells grown in rats

New Scientist, 11 December 2010

Stem cells from the human brain that were transplanted into the brains of newborn rats have matured and are able to function just like native rat cells. The breakthrough demonstrates the potential for people with brain damage, caused by epilepsy or Parkinson’s for example, to use their own brain stem cells as a treatment. The key finding was that the adult stem cells had the ability to turn into all types of brain tissue in the rats. This includes the neocortex, which deals with higher processing, and the hippocampus, involved in memory and spatial awareness. “We’re showing the most dramatic integration of human adult neurons into rat brains,” says Steven Roper of the University of Florida in Gainesville, who carried out the work. Roper extracted the adult stem cells from tissue he had taken from a teenage girl’s brain as part of standard epilepsy surgery. He and his colleague Dennis Steindler multiplied the cells in the lab, then genetically engineered them so that they would glow green under ultraviolet light.

Verdenskrig i cyberspace

Sagen om WikiLeaks er begyndelsen til en ny verdensorden, siger eksperter. Fremtidens konflikter bliver udkæmpet på internettet mellem hackere, stater og multinationale selskaber. Informationskrigen er brudt ud.

_{Hans Davidsen-Nielsen og Hans Drachmann}

Hackerne kalder det for ”kanonen”: det særlige computerprogram, som alle og enhver kan downloade fra internettet, og som lige nu bruges til at føre krig mod regeringer og multinationale selskaber. Både herhjemme og på resten af kloden sidder unge aktivister klar til at modtage ordren ”fyr” og skyde løs på alle, der gør livet surt for fængslede australske WikiLeaks-grundlægger Julian Assange.

(...)

Det er mere end vanskeligt for myndighederne at finde ud af, hvem der står bag cyberangrebene. Ud over at bruge ”kanonen” er aktivisterne også dygtige til at overtage helt tilfældige menneskers computere og angribe gennem dem. Det gør det nærmest umuligt at opklare forbrydelse.
