This Month In Science Peter Pรถlzleithner

It is not the overdose of coffee, it is not the lack of sleep and your mind is not playing tricks on you. Researchers of the University of California in Berkley are really on the verge of developing a therapy, which could completely heal severely damaged eyes. I am in pure admiration of scientist like that dedicating their time and effort to our health. Additionally I sit in awe thinking about what the future still has to offer within this particular branch of science.

Scientists have cloned a mouse from a single drop of blood Japanese scientists have been able to create 600 exact genetic copies of one mouse with only one drop of blood extracted from its tail. An amazing achievement, that shows us exactly how sophisticated our level of technology already is.
