Common blue dye cures spinal injury: According to U.S. researchers common and safe blue food dye may turn out to be the best treatment available so far for spinal cord injuries. The researchers further explain that when the nerve cells in the brain or spine are damaged, they often release a spurt of chemicals that causes nearby cells to die. Only when this process is stopped, damage that continues to build after a stroke or spinal cord injury can be prevented. One of the chemicals is ATP. Scientist found the blue dye, which they called BBG, would do this via the P2X7R receptor or doorway. Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Rochester Medical Center cautioned that tests in humans are likely still years away.

Artifical Brain just ten years away: Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, said that his team is intending to build a functioning, artificial human brain within the next 10 years. The team started few years ago with the efforts to create a fully functioning artificial rat brain using the IBM supercomputer, Blue Gene. The idea was if they could fruitfully replicate a rat's brain, they would then influence their knowledge to do the same with a human one. With not much success in the beginning, recently the neurons have begun unexpectedly organizing themselves into a more complex pattern. Markram thinks that in 10 years, they'll moreover have an artificial human brain that has consciousness or they'll know that consciousness is more than just a neurological pattern. According to the scientists, this is the beginning of the self-organizing neurological patterns that eventually, in more complex mammal brains, become personality.

Teen wins $100,000 scholarship for a ‘bacteria-free medical gadgets’ project: A teen has bagged the award of 2008 Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology for his project "Versatile Antimicrobial Coatings from Plasma Deposited Hydrogels and Hydrogel Composites." Wen Chyan’s winning entry can help hospital patients avoid bacterial infections resulting from treatment. Aged just 17, Chyan developed a polymer coating for medical devices that could prevent infections caused by bacterial biofilms. Such infections affect more than 2 million hospital patients annually and kill about 100,000. Created by Chyan, the polymer is an adhesive that is embedded with silver ions that can be used on medical devices such as catheters and breathing equipment, which require a tube to be inserted into a patient.
