Using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, a number of subjects have been able to stand, and because of that, regain some movement and feeling and most importantly, to regain some of the body's internal functions that are designed to keep us alive and to make that life a pleasure.

But in the brain, the consequences of falling behind may be much greater than the embarrassment of dirty countertops, because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body that's at stake, which is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may be critical for preventing and treating diseases of the mind tomorrow.

As you might know, proteins are large biological molecules that perform different functions within our body, like catalyzing metabolic reactions or responding to stimuli or replicating DNA, but before a protein is expressed or produced, relevant parts of its genetic code present in the DNA are copied into the messenger RNA, so this messenger RNA has instructions on how to build a specific protein, and potentially it can build hundreds of proteins, but the one that tells them when to build them and how many to build are microRNAs.

And if you look at this tree again within the African context, in West Africa, it's known as the palaver tree, because it performs great social functions.

Well, it means that just as the English language is made up of alphabetic letters that, when combined into words, allow me to tell you the story I'm going to tell you today, DNA is made up of genetic letters that, when combined into genes, allow cells to produce proteins, strings of amino acids that fold up into complex structures that perform the functions that allow a cell to do what it does, to tell its stories.

Well, we want to explore what sort of new stories life with an expanded vocabulary could tell, and remember, stories here are the proteins that a cell produces and the functions they have.

So what sort of new proteins with new types of functions could our semisynthetic organisms make and maybe even use?

They don't bring that many different functions.

They don't make that many different functions available.

So if we have cells that make new proteins with new functions, could we get them to do things that natural cells can't do?

And I repeat: an old mouse that gets young blood through shared circulation looks younger and functions younger in its brain.

We sat around talking about Fourier transforms, Bessel functions, modulation transfer functions, stuff like this.

And of course, we used the loop of the building as a circulatory system, to thread everything together and to allow both visitors and staff to experience all these different functions in a great unity.

Feathers could have served these functions for dinosaurs too.

Scientists have even used pi to prove the illusive notion that light functions as both a particle and an electromagnetic wave, and, perhaps most impressively, to calculate the density of our entire universe, which, by the way, still has infinitely less stuff in it than the total number of digits in pi.

While skin cells protect your body, muscle cells contract, and nerve cells send signals, stem cells do not have any specific structures or functions.

Scientists hope that with more research, they can not only develop specialized medicine that is specific to your body but also better understand how your body functions, both when it's healthy and when it's not.

That's when its functions become apparent as medics get to observe the motion of the heart's valves.
