Promising for those with Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, Huntington's disease, etc.

It might even be a help to liberals too, but I doubt it.

[annie laurie]

Heh ;-)

[Ladysmith]

LOL!

[jexus]

I have a math test tommorow. May I borrow a cup of brain please?

Correction; the first cells generated in a dish eventually devolved to become Teddy Kennedy, and they certainly were not brain cells.

The Kennedy's are pushing to get to the front of the line.

Call me when they are produced in, or with the consumption of, 40 oz. malt liquor.

Wow!... Let's make a brain ten feet across. Hook it up to the grid. See what happens.

Be great if it could cure Alzheimer's , which is IMO the most evil disease of them all (especially early-onset Alzheimers. Imagine becoming hopelessly senile before you're 50. That's what happened to an uncle of mine.)

Is that all you can eat?

[Gorzaloon]

for the first time duplicates neurogenesis - the process of generating new brain cells - in a dish.

The dish, however, was accidently emptied down the Lab sink by the cleaning staff that evening, so the dish is now free to vote Democrat.

Brain Cells Generated in a Dish.

Oooh, I can feel those brain cells generating!

[Larry Lucido]

One more.

Yes, and I wish they could be grown in a dish.

Okay, I now return you to more serious discussion.
