From the Embryo to the Lab. As an audience of scientists and reporters heard at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, researchers are closer than ever to the test-tube tooth. Specifically, they are harnessing do-it-all stem cells to re-create the tooth buds that form in the early embryo. The idea is to implant these "primordial teeth" into human jaws and let the cells take it from there. Using a patient's own stem cells bypasses the rejection problems that so often happen in ordinary transplants. 2, record 3, English, - test%2Dtube%20tooth

La innovación científica, según los especialistas, significa una revolución en la Odontología, pues soluciones mecánicas, como la prótesis o el implante, darán lugar a la herramienta biológica, y por tanto el diente de laboratorio puede significar la jubilación de la dentadura postiza.

The multi-aspect signalling commonly used in the UK today is a 4-aspect system. It works similarly to the 3-aspect system except that two warnings are provided before a red signal, a double yellow and a single yellow. This has two purposes. First, it provides early warnings of a red signal for higher speed trains or it can allow better track occupancy by shortening the length of the blocks. The high speed trains have advanced warning of red signals while the slower speed trains can run closer together at 50Km/h or so under "double yellows". 1, record 6, English, - multi%2Daspect%20signalling
