Forum: Internet Links Topic: scientists reverse cancer in lab started by: Malcolm Posted by Malcolm on Aug. 25 2015,10:46
< Booyah >.QUOTE Scientists discovered they could switch on cancer in cells by removing the microRNAs from cells and preventing them from producing the protein. And, crucially, they found that they could reverse the process, switching the brakes back on and stopping cancer.

Tinyurl is a thing.

I'm gonna not focus on Malcolm's fuckup and say that this is very exciting. It also raises questions about purposely triggering pre-cancerous replication to heal injuries and force cells to replicate past their telomere limits.

Goddamn all of you.

Hey, Malcolm, your link is broken.

Maybe wasps aren't as big of assholes as we believe?

They're the complete opposite of assholes. They're, like, ass-points.

This is a brilliant theory. The species that reproduces by zombifying other species and having the young cannibalize them? Oh yeah, nothing but benevolence coming from those things.

Who do they zombify? Scorpions right? Just saving more lives... Posted by Malcolm on Sep. 02 2015,12:00
(Leisher @ Sep. 02 2015,13:57) QUOTE Who do they zombify? Scorpions right? Just saving more lives... I don't think they fuck with scorpions. Spiders, ants, other wasps, and a host of other insect species. Posted by Leisher on Sep. 02 2015,12:03
So again, they're fighting our natural enemies. The wasp might be the most misunderstood creature on the planet. Posted by Malcolm on Sep. 02 2015,12:17

Spiders kill more things that annoy you than wasps, in far greater quantities. Cats kill mice but cats are still assholes. Posted by Leisher on Sep. 02 2015,12:22
Shut up with your hate speech, you anti-Waspite.

Wasps do their best to clean up the pears for me that fall uneaten from my two big trees.Thanks, wasps. Posted by Alhazad on Sep. 02 2015,19:00
Now I want some pears.

Were they there when you moved in?
