Last night there wasn’t much science to be had, but they did manage to condense a lot of info on the elusive Observers into one short episode. Here’s a short version of some of our favorite moments. We’ll be doing this again the Thursday after Thanksgiving again at 9pm EST, so watch your twitter feed and facebook fan feed for updates, and join us!
That was easily one of the most gruesome nights on Fringe in some time, but we did get to learn a bunch about what white noise is (and is not). Not to mention the whole self-healing hematoma in Agent Bishop. Here’s our weekly video wrap-up we put together for you to keep you up to date on our favorite moments from last night.
Last night we were treated to monsters from outer space, but a pretty unbelievable plotline altogether. Let’s face it… the only viruses we’ve seen astronauts encounter in space are of the computer variety. So kick back at your desk this lovely Friday afternoon and take a look at our take on last night’s Fringe.
Last night’s episode was full of fun gore, but kinda light on the science… I mean, after all, two-way deep brain stimulators without any real power source? Yeah… likely. Click here to learn more about what is really happening in the world of deep brain stimulation, and how it’s helping people today. Then, have a look at our snarky wrap-up video below!
Last night we saw the triumphant return of Leonard Nimoy, in addition to having a bucketful of answers thrown our way. We learned about “the other side”, the mission of the trans-dimensional cylon army and MORE. Here’s a quick video that highlights some of the silliest and most important moments from last night.
Wow… so last night, we learned that harmonic resonance can blow people up. Sorta. We’re going to dig around for some more information on sonic resonance (contact us if you’re an expert!), and see if we can’t get you some real answers on that soon. In the meantime, here’s our weekly video showing us what we learned on Fringe last night. mmm… coffee…
So, that was a crazy episode last night, eh? A mole man who has somehow been cooked up in a backroom home lab kit by randomly mixing scorpion and mole dna with a human embryo. Interesting plot device, but not anywhere near accurate. We even put together another film for you to share in all we learned last night. Have a look below and let us know what you think!
Thanks for joining us last night on the live-blog of Fringe’s season premiere. We thought we’d put together a fun video highlighting some of the more dubious moments from the show. Let us know what you think, and if you have any other moments that rang a little false, we’d love to hear about them in the comments below!
And with the return, come new regular mashups. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
This week’s episode of Eleventh Hour, but like most things in biotech the science behind the show is as relevant as ever. This week British scientists announced they would begin a new clinical trial to restore sight to 20 patients suffering from corneal blindness through stem cell therapy. The technology uses adult stem cells to restore eye tissue and function by layering fresh stem cells over the cornea, allowing the cells in the eye to regenerate.
British scientists are emulating a similar study done at the University of Pennsylvania where researchers demonstrated that gene therapy used to restore retinal activity to the blind also restores function to the brain’s visual center, a critical component of seeing. If the therapy is successful it could have an enormous impact on the visually impaired community. According to Sonal Rughani, Senior Adviser and Optometrist from the Royal National Institute of Blind People, “We look forward to further positive developments in this area of work that could potentially bring hope to many people who have lost their sight as the result of corneal blindness.”
Stem cell therapy for blindness is most effective on children afflicted with blindness. To learn more about one child’s stem cell infusion therapy, check out the following video:
