Post cell division reversed in a lab
This is pretty wild. By screwing around with proteins or something in a cell that's dividing, a scientist actually managed to reverse the cell division.

Here's a video showing duplicated chromosomes back into the center of the cell. :)

This has some pretty big implications. This could reverse cell division in cancers or birth defects.

As well as controlling the growth of stem cells.

I better fucking hope they have a cure for cance by the time that bastard disease gets to me. I wouldn't deserve it either, I'm so young and sexy and intelligent.
