Biologists Create 'Zombie Cells' In The Lab Which Outperform Living Counterparts
Huffington Post UK | By Michael Rundle Posted: 14/02/2013 12:21 GMT | Updated: 18/02/2013 08:04 GMT
Biological researchers have created dead 'zombie' cells in the lab which outperform living cells.
Seriously.
A team at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico have innovated a technique whereby mammalian cells are coated with silica to form a near-perfect replicas.
The silica replicants can survive greater pressures and temperatures than flesh, and perform many functions better than the original cells did when alive.
By painting the cells with silicic acid in a petri dish, the acid embalms the organic matter in the cell down to the nanometer level.
The silica then acts as a permeable armour, according to Michael Hess at the American Office of Public Affairs.
That means the cell beneath can be used as a catalyst at far greater temperatures than normal.
Heating the silica to around 400C evaporates the protein in the cell, but leaves the silica as a three-dimensional replica of the "formerly living being", Hess said.
"The difference is that instead of modeling the face, say, of a famous criminal, the hardened silica-based cells display internal mineralized structures with intricate features ranging from nano- to millimeter-length scales."
The valuable biological material can thus be converted into a reusable fossil, which could have uses in fuel cells, decontamination and sensor technology, as well as commercial manufacturing.
Lead researcher Bryan Kaehr said in a statement that the research distinguishes between a mummy cell and a zombie cell.
"Our zombie cells bridge chemistry and biology to create forms that not only near-perfectly resemble their past selves, but can do future work," he said, terrifyingly.

Researchers Develop 'Zombie' Cells That Can Increase Performance After Death(http://cbslasvegas.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/zombie-cell.png)
QuoteAlbuquerque, N.M. (CBS LAS VEGAS) – Researchers have developed mammalian "zombie" cells that can actually function more effectively after dying.
By replicating a near-perfect version of a living mammalian cell, University of New Mexico researchers have created cells that not only look identical, but are also more apt to survive adverse conditions than the living organisms they were modeled after.
Sandia National Laboratories researchers, along with the University of New Mexico, created the cells by placing free-floating mammal cells into a petri dish and coating them with a silicic acid solution. For reasons that the study says are still "partially unclear," the silicic acid enters and embalms every organelle in the cells.

sigh ;)
My bad... spotted this one just before falling asleep so just posted it so I wouldn't lose it. Didn't search first :-[
Merged now..
SANDIA LABS Good Grief... makes me think the stories of DULCE labs are very real
the link for science daily has the scariest info
like this
"It's very challenging for researchers to build structures at the nanometer scale," said Kaehr. "We can make particles and wires, but 3-D arbitrary structures haven't been achieved yet. With this technique, we don't need to build those structures -- nature does it for us. We only need to find cells that possess the machinery we want and copy it using our technique. And, using chemistry or surface patterning, we can program a group of cells to form whatever shape seems desirable.

"Formerly, for internal preservation and subsequent imaging, a cell would be fixed in formaldehyde or some other preservative. But many of these methods are labor-intensive," Townson said. "This method is simple. The preserved cells will never get sloppy in decay. And when we cracked open the resulting structure, we were blown away by how well the cell was preserved, down to the minor groove of the cell's DNA."
Heating the cell to still higher temperatures (greater than 400 degrees C) evaporates the organic material of the cell -- its protein -- and leaves the silica in a kind of three-dimensional Madame Tussauds wax replica of a formerly living being. The difference is that instead of modeling the face, say, of a famous criminal, the hardened silica-based cells display internal mineralized structures with intricate features ranging from nano- to millimeter-length scales.
The construction process is relatively simple: Take some free-floating mammalian cells, put them in a petri dish and add silicic acid.

Please be aware there are somethings that Tom Castello discussed, including cells that flourish after the host body is in the process of 'dying'. However, the cells mimic the original cells but are more like "parasite/clone/zombie" cells, and although the host is dead, the parasite/clone/zombie cell is "happier" because they have access to more food and become their 'own boss'. (so to speak) It was part of the original "type-one-almost-human" creature in created in the mid 1960s in Dulce. Sandia Labs usually does the public announcements for Dulce Base.
ok had to go see who cherry hinkle was...here's some info if there is anyone like me who never heard of her
not joining fb or the birds so anyone can take it from there.. ;D

Monday, October 15, 2012The Fascinating Life of Cherry Hinkle
Cherry Hinkle is a UFO researcher with over 50 years of experience. She frequently contributes to books, articles, and blogs in the UFO community. Cherry supplies information to anyone who needs it, and surprised several writers by sending them in-depth UFO articles to help them complete their books. Since 1987, she has sent information to scores of writers and researchers, both domestic and international regarding the infamous underground Dulce Base. Cherry is happily married to Bill Hinkle and they live in Las Vegas, NV. She is on Facebook and is always pleased to share UFO information.
Adam Gorightly: Let's begin with your earliest experiences with UFO's and ET's. I understand these experiences started in the early 1960's.
Cherry Hinkle: I have been a contactee since a preschool child. Beings contacted me every two years; no matter if I lived in the United States or elsewhere. At the age of 8, I was reading the works of Madame Helene Blavatsky, and understanding the occult. The unusual and the paranormal was my average day.
By the early 1960's I had already experienced enough unusual events that I felt confident I would never be unnerved by a strange event. But I was mistaken.

Here is a facebook post from my long time friend and college Cherry Hinkle that I would like to share with all insiders. Cherry is one of the most dedicated research/reporters I have the pleasure of knowing. Information I've received from her over the last 15 years or so has always checked out. Enjoy! EDITOR
