Test-tube babies: A simpler, cheaper technique?

LONDON (AP) — Since the first test-tube baby was born more than three decades ago, in vitro fertilization has evolved into a highly sophisticated lab procedure. Now, scientists are going back to basics and testing a simpler and cheaper method.
In the West, many would-be parents spend thousands of dollars for IVF, which involves pricey incubators and extensive screening. But European and American scientists say a simplified version of the entire procedure aimed at developing countries could be done for about 200 euros ($265) with generic fertility drugs and basic lab equipment that would fit inside a shoebox.

But now a new study out of Canada suggests there may be an issue to look out for if you breastfeed more than 12 months.
Parents of healthy children ages 1 to 6 were recruited during routine doctor visits between December 2008 and July 2011. In all, 1647 kids were included.

Scientists Make Laboratory-Grown Kidney for Transplant

Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have achieved a breakthrough in bioengineering by developing a kidney in laboratory for transplant. The kidney was transplanted into a rat, which successfully produced urine.
The scientists revealed that the kidney was taken for a dead rat. Old cells were stripped from the kidney that left a natural scaffold of collagen and other compounds. These are called extracellular matrix and work as a framework for the new cells.

FAB1 Rolls supports Breast Cancer Care

The original FAB1 was a futuristic six-wheeled pink Rolls-Royce that was featured in the 1960s British science-fiction television series Thunderbirds; it was owned by London agent Lady Penelope and driven by her butler, Parker.

Now Rolls-Royce has created a real FAB1 - a customised long-wheelbase pink Ghost - in support of the FAB1 Million project for Breast Cancer Care.

Headed by Chris Evans, the FAB1 Million project aims to raise £1 million (R14 million) for Breast Cancer Care through making this bespoke Ghost available to hire over the next twelve months.
