4.8/5 (10) ...yes, you read that correctly, if you're a woman and have nine months (or thereabouts) to kill, a Harvard professor wants you to bear (and raise?) a nice Neanderthal baby:
Wanted: 'Adventurous woman' to…

Scientists discovered that they are able to combine positive and negative signals which can turn stem cells down certain pathways. This allows them to develop into certain tissue, including tissue of the heart, muscle, or bone. The hope is that the tissue will be created in days, rather than weeks or months, as are usually required. This will allow the tissue to be much more effective much more quickly.
Stem cell therapies are thought to be the answer to a myriad of illnesses, from helping tackle diseases from cancer to Alzheimer’s and muscular dystrophy. However, a new study has shown that hundreds of clinics in the United States are falsely advertising stem cell treatments for everything from autism to breast augmentation.
Dental fillings with stem cell technology have recently been announced by researchers, which could put an end to root canals forever. This technology allows to teeth to regenerate, building up new, healthy teeth.
The technology, developed by the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom and the Wyss Institute at Harvard, uses stem cells to help your teeth actually regrow. Using the technology, it stimulates dentin, the material your teeth are made out of of, and encourages them to form anew.
Officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are preparing to crack down on stem cell clinics in the United States that advertise pricey treatments for a variety of treatments, but don’t provide any scientific evidence that they work.
Stem cells hold a lot of promise when it comes to healing the body, but too many people, believing stem cell research to be the holy grail of medical science, are willing to try untested procedures in an effort to treat what ails them.
That’s why Ohio State University scientists are calling on doctors to educate their patients about scientifically unproven stem cell treatments. They say a growing number of patients with incurable diseases are traveling the world looking for a solution, but what they find could wind up making them sicker. [1]
Although 2014 was the shining year for numerous foods, many would attest that turmeric held the gold medal in ‘hottest foods of 2014.’ The spice is relatively reasonably priced, available, and boasts seemingly countless health benefits.
