British water voles and found allies to safeguard the survival of their species and humans Canals and River Trust, an organization concerned to ensure the waters of rivers and English channels, are installing miniature stairs so they can meet new friends, to reproduce and reverse the sharp decline in its population, which could mean future extinction.

These "superhighways" wooden cross will allow high edges along the Grand Union Canal (London to Birmingham) to reach new territories.

Environmentalists hope that the stairs are also used throughout the country to help water voles isolated genetically related to other populations.

The project is carried out in a small colony living in Hanwell Lock Flight, west London. If successful, the stairs could be distributed nationally, as a way to help the moles to cross the canal banks.

The structures allow the colony of moles access newly built floating islands in the Grand Union canal.

Artificial islands contain vegetation that moles can nest and feed. The idea is to extend the mammal habitat and encourage them to use more of the waterway.

In the past they have used similar constructions, especially a ladder to help otters to take a shortcut through a dam in Derbyshire, instead of having to cross a street to get to the water.

But the conservation team of the project says it's the first time that the stairs were used for aquatic moles UK.

Other studies have focused on the use of embryonic stem cells to create "biodientes".

The scientists showed that it was possible to grow a tooth but they suggested, is expensive and impractical for daily use in the dental clinic.
In the latter study, took skin cells from patients gum, some more developed in the laboratory and mixed with mesenchymal cells (a type of stem cells) from mice.

Mesenchymal cells were grown to act as "inducer", ie, to instruct the epithelial cells begin to grow as a tooth.

By combining cells transplanted into mice, researchers were able to develop teeth hybrid human / mouse that had roots viable, as reported in the journal Journal of Dental Research.
