Alex Rives, the associate who hatched the stem cell idea, started off by approaching a University of Washington researcher named Randall Moon.
The host cell has no idea that its genetic code (which it generally needs to produce new, healthy cells) has been hijacked, for a long time at least, until the code has been copied and read to reproduce the virus many, many times by the host cell.

As satellite-based GPS becomes more ubiquitous in cell phones, the idea is that by figuring out the position and speed of a person's cell phone as it travels in a moving car, traffic data could be made available faster, cheaper, and in areas where it's hard to measure, like on rural roads or city streets, for example.
Motorola and other cell phone companies backed his next idea--software to transmit photos between cellular phones.
The idea of using the cell phone to make-in-the-moment offers is finally getting mainstream.

The idea that more brain cell activity could lead to more amyloid-beta build up is an exciting, if sobering, finding.

But in the meantime, if you're in California and are concerned about privacy and your constitutional rights, it's a good idea to protect your cell phone and other electronic devices with a password or encryption.
Greenpeace says it is not opposed to stem cell research itself, but to the idea that patents can be granted for scientific discoveries as opposed to inventions.
' Another idea is to take a single cell from a developing embryo and then let that develop and see if those couldn't be used to derive stem cells.
The researchers were led to this idea when they scanned the stem-cell precursors of nerve cells with a device called a gene chip.
ECONOMIST: Brain development may be influenced by genetic parasites
The German Aerospace Centre has tested this idea in an aircraft using a fuel cell to power two electric motors built into the hub of an aircraft nose wheel.

Linda Griffith, a tissue engineer at MIT, said one of the main problems of the idea would be getting all the right cell types to grow in the right places.
The idea was to produce silicon for things like cell phones and those big boxes in Telco datacenters.
The idea is to plug in electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to the buildings to power up our vehicles.
For example, many commuter trains have adopted the idea of "quiet cars, " in which cell phones are banned in those areas.
For many, technology is still a nice idea, but despite the fast growing numbers of cell phones, for many these are still out of reach, particularly rural women.

Then there's a completely new idea, which is to generate a kind of a cell that you would merge with a kind of an egg, and you'd get something that was kind of an embryo but it wasn't really an embryo, and it wouldn't have the potential to grow into anything, and maybe those would give rise to stem cells.
This idea of self-treatment is one of the reasons adult stem-cell science is so fashionable.
And the final idea--they had four--was to actually take a cell from an adult animal--a skin cell from you, for example--and figure out how to turn it back into what it once was in its lineage, you know, way--so it's got all the DNA, but it's become specialized.
So the idea is to use a second pill to get the CFTR protein up to the cell surface so Kalydeco can work.

The idea for the book grew out of what Mr. Meltzer said was his involvement in Red Cell, reportedly a program created by the Department of Homeland Security to harness the creativity of out-of-the-box thinkers.
