A very inventive way of how to let ordinary people help reaserchers through gaming…
Reverse the Odds, a mobile game developed by Cancer Research UK andChannel 4, invites users to find patterns in real tumor tissue in order to help scientists learn more about cancer.
This video explains what it is all about:

![Japan researchers target 3D-printed body parts
Japanese scientists say they are on their way to being able to create custom-made skin, bone and joints using a 3D printer.
Several groups of researchers around the world have developed small masses of tissue for implants, but now they are looking to take the next step and make them functional.
Tsuyoshi Takato, a professor at the University of Tokyo Hospital, said his team had been working to create “a next-generation bio 3D printer”, which would build up thin layers of biomaterials to form custom-made parts.
His team combines stem cells—the proto-cells that are able to develop into any body part—and proteins that trigger growth, as well as synthetic substance similar to human collagen.
Using a 3D printer, they are working on “mimicking the structure of organs”—such as the hard surface and spongy inside for bones, Takato said.
In just a few hours, the printer crafts an implant using data from a Computer Tomography (CT) scan.
These implants can fit neatly into place in the body, and can quickly become assimilated by real tissue and other organs in the patient, the plastic surgeon said.

UC Irvine and Australian chemists have figured out how to unboil egg whites – an innovation that could dramatically reduce costs for cancer treatments, food production and other segments of the $160 billion global biotechnology industry, according to findings published on jan. 23, 2015 in the journal ChemBioChem.

Monsanto is a beautiful village built in the Portuguese countryside. Featuring narrow streets carved from rock and granite houses squeezed between giant boulders, it looks like a real life Bedrock.
At the top of the 400 feet high hill stands a very old square built castle. The castle played an important role in Medieval times when the Templars Grand Master built a castle which withstood several battles including the Napoleonic invasions. In 1938, Monsanto was bestowed the most “Portuguese town in Portugal.”
