Artificial skin 'cuts scarring', article written by Pallab Ghosh BBC News, Science correspondent, BBC news.
A prototype artificial skin used to heal wounds has been developed by British researchers. This skin seemed to incorporate itself much better with real tissue than any other skin substitutes tried in the past. Nowadays, the best way of treating wounds is taking skin from other parts of the person's body, but it isn't the ideal way. This alternative might provide an alternative to skin grafts.
The process is the following: The skin is created from a matrix made up of fibrin, a protein found in healing wounds. To this is added human fibroblasts - cells used by the body to synthesise new tissue. In a process that effectively replicates the way the body makes new skin, the cells produce and release another protein, collagen, which makes the matrix more stable.
It is in this form that the "skin" is implanted into a wound.

Assignment 1:English song

This lyric is from a song called " In this together", which is interpretated by Apoptygma Berzerk, a norwegian band which I had never heard before, but the sound is strong and clear, with power transmited both through the lyrics, the musical instruments and sound effects, and the voice and interpretation of the vocalist.
I got to know this song because some parts of it were used in a Warner channel commercial for a serie called "ER" showing some scenes from the latest episodes, which, by the way, are great (if you want to see them, I recommend them). Well, then I googled the song and I found out that many other people on the internet wanted to know about it, and that's why it didn't took from me much effort to find it.

Should I've seen this coming
should I've known this
shouldn't have let it happen
my mistake allright
stuck again
doing my thing
too alike yet far apart

What felt so good once
is breaking me
and tearing us apart again

//Don't you see
we're in this together
you and me
one on one forever//

I know it's self inflicted
we're way to desperate
way too addicted
but I can't help the way I feel
I know it's time to be strong
now when all hope is gone

And when what felt so good once
is breaking me
and tearing us apart again

//Don't you see
we're in this together
you and me
one on one forever//

And in your troubled eyes I see
someone who carried me somehow
like footprints in the sand
you've been behind me all along
we got it wrong from the start
now it's you and me let's hit it on

Don't you see it's you and me
against the world!
cause we're in this together
you and me
one on one forever

Don't you see
we're in this together
you and me
one on one forever
