...sort of an alter ego of mine. Mr. Bean is my natural organ of expression when I am told to be funny in an entirely visual way. We do have periods of improvisation, but that tends to happen during rehearsal rather than on the studio floor...
...cross. When Apatow appeared last week on The Colbert Report, and was asked what was possibly left to show in male comedies, he instantly answered, "A penis." I don't doubt that Apatow was speaking ironically, yet there was self-revelation there to, since that's exactly the sexual organ that the fellows in Knocked Up and Superbad (and his earlier The 40-Year-Old Virgin) are most obsessed...

While donor and recipient must have the same blood type, a face transplant requires their race, gender and general age to also match in order to create as natural a look as possible for the patient...
...tends to think of the bones as inert, calcified structures, but they are, in fact, active tissues that constantly renew themselves. Cells called osteoblasts continually build new bone, while osteoclasts destroy old bone. What the new research shows is that the bones also act as a kind of endocrine organ. They release a hormone called osteocalcin that not only acts locally to influence bone formation, but also increases the production of insulin in the pancreas, raises the body's sensitivity to insulin and reduces stores...
...compared to a 3%-5% development rate for nuclear transfer embryos - parthenogenesis still requires a steady supply of good quality human eggs. These are notoriously difficult to obtain, so the technique won't likely revolutionize medicine yet. But, suggests Daley, it could be used to help alleviate the organ-donation shortage in the U.S.: parthenogenetically created transplant tissues and organs can be banked and later matched on major immune markers to many different patients. It's not quite patient-specific medicine, but it is one step closer...
