@  Curtis : (05 March - 04:43 PM) Scientists dig up giant virus more than 30,000 years old in Siberia
@  Curtis : (26 February - 11:25 PM) back at the job
@  caters : (22 February - 07:26 PM) yes but I have been told that it is visible to the naked eye and is the largest cell in the body.
@  bob1 : (22 February - 12:46 PM) @caters - you are unlikely to see any of your eggs unless you are looking very closely at all the shed endometrium
@  caters : (22 February - 08:59 AM) I mean if the egg dissolves if not fertilized that means no pregnancy possible unless you know the exact ovulation date and I know for a fact that thats not true
@  caters : (22 February - 08:58 AM) and they may say that an unfertilized egg cell is visible to the naked eye but it is close to the 1/1000th of an inch probably even smaller than that and I honestly have never seen any of my eggs after ovulation. I also don't beleive that the egg dissolves if it is not fertilized but rather lodges into the uterus and comes out the next time the woman is on her period.
@  caters : (22 February - 08:54 AM) that would have another hurdle that pregnancy outside the womb. That is the amount of fluids and nutrients it needs each day.
@  hobglobin : (21 February - 01:51 PM) perhaps it helps then to develop back to an embryo ;)
@  Trof : (21 February - 12:40 PM) I think nonetheless, it is amazing to be getting close to having the skills of a cell B)
@  hobglobin : (21 February - 12:07 PM) yes that's the point and the hurdle caters has to overcome... :D
@  Trof : (21 February - 11:46 AM) In the beginning, nobody had those ;)
@  hobglobin : (21 February - 07:06 AM) yes, with an existing "infrastructure" (membranes, organelles, ribosomes, enzymes, established control and supply mechanisms and whatever)
@  Trof : (21 February - 03:35 AM) Just divide AFTER they had to build everything in double from scratch :)
@  hobglobin : (19 February - 09:25 AM) But "today's" cells don't start from scratch (i.e. with a heap of amino acids, lipds and nucleotides) but just divide...
@  phage434 : (18 February - 03:54 PM) Cells have been doing it a lot longer than caters has.
@  Trof : (18 February - 11:49 AM) I'd say, cells are doing that all the time.
@  hobglobin : (17 February - 09:40 AM) I'd say...isn't that Impossible with today's methods ;)
@  caters : (15 February - 12:08 PM) I am making a cell from its molecular components. Isn't that Awesome
@  caters : (15 February - 11:51 AM) hi guys
@  casandra : (28 January - 08:45 PM) Happy Birthday Lost, wherever you may be...:)

Quote of the Day (View All Quotes)

  • "In many respects, we understand the structure of the universe better than the workings of living cells. Scientists can calculate the age of the Sun and predict when it will cease to shine, but we cannot explain how it is that a human being may live for eighty years but a mouse for only two."
