A fascinating project which tries to reach (and then pass) body’s boundaries. A reflection, a projection, an hypothesis of evolution…basically, it’s really freaking cool. “…LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body.

"Women suffering from migraine with aura who also tested positive for a specific gene variant had more than three times the risk of cardiovascular disease and four times the risk of stroke than women without migraines or the gene variant. The gene variation was in the methyleneterahydrofolate reductase gene." (Ed.

"The relaxation response is a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress... and the opposite of the fight or flight response." These words were written in 1975 by Herbert Benson, M.D., the Associate Professor of Medicine in Harvard Medical School and director emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute.

Cancer Stem Cells Created in Lab - WEDNESDAY, April 9 — Researchers at Stanford University have succeeded in transforming skin cells into what appear to be cancer stem cells, in a feat that could propel cancer research forward. Cancer stem cells are thought to start the unhindered proliferation of cells which ultimately results in cancer.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Researchers in Philadelphia have localized the genetic variations that cause a common and often fatal form of childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, according to a study published Wednesday.

Blue Genes Geneticists at North Carolina State University have revealed an interesting lesson in gene expression: where you live can have significant impact on how your genes are expressed. The scientists focused on a sample of 46 Moroccan Amazighs, a relatively homogenous group genetically-speaking.
