本期的Natrue, New sources of sex cells

Within the next decade or so, it will become possible to derive sperm and eggs from skin cells. The ethical and technical hurdles need to be addressed with the scientific and therapeutic benefits in mind.
Earlier this month, the world had its first look at a pregnant man, a jarring reminder of how conventions in the way humans are created could shift.........................
幾個關鍵字:
1. human gametes derived in vitro
2. PSCDGs: pluripotent stem cell derived gametes
3. iPS: pluripotent stem
4. The Hinxton group <-------就是他們搞的

不過該gruop經過三天的討論(謎:他們知道在中文三是很多的意思?), 發了以下的聲明稿

另外, 義大利人 "又" 說他們 "看到" 闇物質.
Italian group claims to see dark matter - again

這是義大利一個以Bernabei為中心的group發出的聲明, 話說他們在2000時也說他們看到......(真令人orz, 原來這是八年一期阿)
但是他的敵對團體也對這件事發表意見(ps. Nature真的用rivals, 果然是義大利, 有黑手黨的傳統)
Gerbier says, it's unlikely that the wider physics community will accept the Italian claim.“There should be different ways of seeing the same thing,” he says. “A single experiment cannot discover dark matter.”

ps. 我要投Nature因為我發現了"原力"!!!!!!!你們看不到是因為你們不是被選中的原力武士
