2. Stem cell cosmetics
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can transform into any other cells, body repair occur in that way.

I think, if I'm not mistaken this woman is in the Guinness book world of record...
Good for her if she found someone...

yeah. she is in it. She is actually sweet and nice, it's just her nails that freak out guys.

The premiere of TLC's newest show, "Strange Love " featured a woman named LaRue Drummond. She is a single mother who's been growing her nails for 40 years now.
"I hope I find my knight in shining armor. Fingers crossed!" she said on "Strange Love ."
After she and her longtime boyfriend broke up and her four children left the house, she decided to just let them grow. Her longest nail at time of filming was 17 inches long.
It takes a lot for LaRue to take care of her super long nails, with weekly milk baths and $300 a month for six hour long manicures -- so maybe that's why she's forged such a personal connection with them.
"This is Marla. This is Miss Independent. And this is Miss Attitude, and as you can see, she has a serious, serious attitude," said LaRue pointing to different nails.
While it's been tough for LaRue to find love again since growing out her nails, she met Steve during a speed dating event -- and he seemed genuinely interested in her super nails. He even called them "a gift" and admitted he was very attracted to her.
So, of course, Steve and LaRue went out on a date, and it must have gone well, because they are now officially an item.
Not all viewers on Twitter were as enamored with LaRue's nails -- but we're just happy LaRue and Steve found each other.

'Strange Love:' Woman With 17-Inch Nails Looks for a Date

Lol. Impossible

A diastema is a space or gap between two teeth. It appears most often between the two upper front teeth. However, gaps can occur between any two teeth. A mismatch between the size of the jaw bones and the size of the teeth can cause either extra space between teeth or crowding of teeth.
Spaces develop for a few other reasons as well.


Treatment
Sometimes, a diastema is part of a set of problems that require orthodontic treatment. In other cases, a diastema is the only problem. However, some people may seek treatment for reasons of appearance. Some people get braces, which move the teeth together. Often, no matter where the diastema is, you must wear a full set of braces — on both your upper and lower teeth. That's because moving any teeth affects your entire mouth.

If your lateral incisors are too small, your dentist may suggest widening them using crowns, veneers or bonding.
If you have a space because you are missing teeth, you might need more extensive dental repair. This might include dental implants, a bridge or a partial denture.

-Wash the sting with soap and water.
-Apply cool compresses, usually 10 minutes on and ten minutes off of the site of the sting.
-Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 1-2 tablets every 4 hours may be given to relieve pain (usually not to exceed 3g per 24 hours). *Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) because they may contribute to other problems.
**Do not cut into the wound or apply suction.
N.B. If symptoms increase in severity, go to an Emergency Department

You can try 'keepvid' or 'savefromnet'. You just copy the link of the YouTube video that you want, then paste it in a designated section on any of the 2 sites. Voila. Good luck.

Easy .......reduce the play/jokes.....most girls see it as flirting.

deltateam:
Op tell your husband to keep taking anti retroviral drugs. Don't leave him cos he still needs your support.

just curious about his infection route.... could it be that he cheated?

tuoyoojo:
yes

this is one of the explanation given

it is very possible..there was a study in uganda about some prostitutes who despite being exposed to the hiv virus time and again, they did not come down with the infection

the reason is simple...before hiv can get into the blood stream, there is a receptor on the cell namely ccr5 and cxcr4. now these are the doors or access points of this virus to get into the cell. now some people with mutation or change in this gene that codes for this receptor, hence the virus cannot get into the body with dis mutated receptor which makes those people immune to hiv

that as simple as it gets

i asked my lecturer in medical school then, would it be possible to give someone a drug and cause the mutation, he smiled and said no..."how people get this mutation is not known"

best answer

ossaisly:
may this last month of the year be the last of our difficulties, sorrow, hardluck, badluck, failure, backwardness, pains, tears,sickness, unproductivity and anything that has to do with negativities. And for our beloved country Nigeria, may this last month be free from terrorism and untimely death for everyone of us.
Amen!!!
Amin!!!

AMEN *in madea's voice*

This is serious. The parent should keep all drugs away from him or keep no drug at home before we hear touching stories.
