Fantastic Voyage Into the Heart

Posted by Zonk on from the rat-superheroes-expected-soon dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "According to the Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI), researchers from the Harvard Medical School have written a sequel to 'Fantastic voyage,' the 1966 sci-fi movie. By injecting self-assembling peptide nanofibers loaded with pro-survival factors into rats, they've showed that the animals could be protected from heart failures. So far, the researchers have not extended their experiments to humans."

    My God... You sub 5 digiters... How do you do it? Every post is an elegant stroke of artistic wisdom; neigh an iron fist of doom! It's as if pre-5 digit slashdotters are part of a secret society of word tamers. An ancient and dying people they are, surfacing only in the darkest of times to smote thy noob and vanquish thy tard.

    Kudos my tiny numbered friend, kudos.
