Jaina Lefevre tucks her doll carefully in her backpack and puts it under the table, safely out of the way. She takes her headset off and puts it in the bag as well.
Jaina Lefevre is more than a litlte scared when she gets in to the table, but she swallows and looks over at Lilli. "Holds my hand, please?"
Lilliane Ackerman curls fingers around the girl’s waist and lifts her to the platform. “Alright hon, lie down and I’ll get you strapped in.” She flashes what she hopes is a comforting smile as she secures the bindings accordingly. “Of course I’ll hold your hand.” She avoids looking into the child’s features, ignoring a brief but powerful maternal stirring that had been dormant for many many years. “Alright, Aylin.” She lifts her voice to be heard from outside the room. “Ready when you are.”
Jaina Lefevre closes her eyes and holds Lilli's hand tightly, and you can hear her faintly whisper-singing "..suh..ny days...sweepin' the ...clouds a-ways....on my way..." Jaina's 'be brave' song.
Wesley Edenbaum shuffles from foot to foot and looks at Lilliane. "So how can I assist you Ma'am?"
Aylin Daviau: "I am ready I beleive" she said, then began to head to the corner to quickly change into her coat..she had all she needed prepared already, now it was only a matter of a few simple injections, the stemcells had been infused with an agent also, so rather than requiring further treatments, unless something went wrong of course they should simply multiply within her system, keeping the muscles stronger and hopefully healing slightly faster also.
Lilliane Ackerman: “Ask her.” Tilts her head toward Aylin in response to Wesley’s query. Eyes drop to the girl as she begins singing, the action inspiring a pang within the pit of her stomach. What the hell was happening to her? Where was her detachment? Her edge? These thoughts encourage a frown to lay claim to her features as she gives the girl’s hand a light squeeze. “It’s okay, Jaina. It will be over soon.”
Jaina Lefevre keeps whisper-singing and her face turned towards Lilli. She's scared...really really scared...but she's trying her best to be brave. It's been a little easier these days..to be brave. But the scaries...they keep getting bigger.
Wesley Edenbaum feels his heart jump a beat as he looks at Jaina. He slowly pushes his shades up and walks over to her, whispering "Don't worry... it's all going to be alright"
Aylin Daviau hardly glanced at the child, nor would she listen to her quiet singing?..she simply approached the small medical fridge instead and typed in a code which would allow it to open for her..she removed a small steel tray, laying upon it was two syringes, dotted with condensation she brought these to the table...placed the tray on the edge of it before she lifted the first one containing the steroid infused nanites, programmed to multiply and continuousy through the girls system until they were told to do other wise...the syringe was huge and she lowered it toward the girls neck, the large vein visable there before she attempted to push it in..she looked at her with no expression really, doing her job, this was all it was to her and nothing more.
Jaina Lefevre cries out as the needle pierces her neck, her whole body tensing at the thrust. Tears start to fill her eyes and trickle down to soak her hair, her song stuttering to a stop. Fingers clutching Lilli's hand clutch tighter and she lets out a soft, sob-stuttered breath. "hh..hurtsss..."
Wesley Edenbaum leans over the lab table and whispers. "Shhh... it's alright, it'll be over soon"
Aylin Daviau creases her brow and she appeared on the surface to be oblivious to much around her other than the procedure she was carrying out..now she had the syringe in place she pushed it in as deep as it could go, before she would depress the plunger....forcing the contents into the girls system "It will take effect imediately however, it is gradual, perhaps the full effect not visable for another week" she said, beginning to withdraw the first syringe.
Jaina Lefevre 's eyes shift from Lilli to Wesley as he speaks and she starts to shiver as the needle is depressed. Her teeth start chattering and her eyes seem to darken as the pupils dilate. She looks at him for a long, long moment, then slowly closes her eyes, still shivering.
Wesley Edenbaum pales and pulls a hershey bar out of his pocket, placing it in Jaina's free hand, then turns and rushes out, muttering "I... have to go"

Disclaimer: Don't want to get into a controversial discussion.
But my family was the only ones whom I saw putting things in the "no" box. Although apparently there must have been others. This was an interesting exhibit.
I cannot make a completely informed statement. I just know to which side I lean.

On 12, Oct, 2020, 12:09 PM I received my stem cells. This is the exact moment of my stem cell birthday.
Or as I like to put it, my rebirth-day.
After I got my stem cells the doctor removed my PICC line.
I was crossing the fish line.

This was the second painting I did by mouth. It shows a stemcell reconnecting nerves, allowing the axons to send messages.
Dr. Phil Campbell is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute of Complex Engineered Systems and Biomedical and Health Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Animal Science from Auburn University as well as a Ph.D. in Physiology from Pennsylvania State University. Currently, Dr. Campbell is actively involved in research efforts focusing on the bioavailability of growth factors.
During a Future Lab interview, Dr. Cambell spoke about his long-term vision. "Most people have heard of newts and salamanders or starfish. What's interesting about those types of animals is they can lose significant amounts of their body and then completely regenerate them. If a newt loses its hand, it can grow that hand back and it's completely functional. But if you lose your hand it will not grow back. But, you do have the genetic potential. That's a vision for the future in the research. Everything moves toward that, but I don't hold that to be achievable anytime in the next few hundred years. What I hold as my own personal vision is that we can come up with constructs of hormones that will promote stem cells to develop into various interconnected tissues, like the Achilles tendon."
Dr. Campbell has been featured in several publications for his research efforts in his field. His current projects incorporate the study of growth factor association and dissociation with the various interstitial components, proteolytic processing, etc. under a variety of physiological conditions. By utilizing this basic scientific information, Dr. Campbell and his research personnel are working towards improving biomimetic tissue engineered materials appropriate for musculoskeletal tissue repair and regeneration.
Dr. Phil Campbell comments on his stem cell research on the online radio show Future Lab:
Extracting of my stem cells for my sister
Day 1 of Stem Cells Harvesting @ SGH Hematology Centre. I have to sit with the vampire machine for almost 8 hours. Both of my arms were needled.
This is what would have happened if the Democrats had their way. Luckily, scientists are now able to produce viable stem cells from skin cells or nuclear transfer without destroying embryos. The Democrats have been silent on this issue since. it can no longer get them elected.
This is a recreation of an older painting.The original painting was the second painting I did by mouth. It shows a stemcell reconnecting nerves, allowing the axons to send messages past the injured area.
I created this version on my iPad, for inclusion to my sketchbook. The concept behind this drawing was inspired by a documentary I watched, shortly after my accident. The documentary was a "60 Minutes" episode about stem cell research. In the episode, they interviewed representatives from a company called Geron, which had successfully reconnected injured spinal cords in rats. The researcher, Dr. Hans Keirstead was very inspiring and hopeful for a cure, for humans. I've been following his work ever since I saw that original program.

Jaina Lefevre slows as she sees the cages and frowns. "Tauntie?" Her voice holds a quaver of fear and she leans into the woman's leg.
Lilliane Ackerman: “Nobody is going to hurt you, hon. The worst of it is over.” She lowers into a crouch, taking one of the girl’s hands in both of hers. “I want you to listen to me, Jaina. You’re a smart girl and I have no doubt you can understand… at least in part. Auntie Lilli is going to give you a gift. It’s something that will serve you well into your adulthood and will prove invaluable while living in this city.” Clearly, Lilli has absolutely no concept of how to speak to children. “I feel.. Badly about what happened here before and I’m going to make it up to you.” Her voice lowers as one hand is lifted to the girls cheek, fingers curling into a brief caress before quickly falling away.
Jaina Lefevre looks at Lilli, a little confused, but not as much as she should be. "Tauntie...I don't want no more boxes. Th'last one I opened, had bad smells and me and Mama Deets fell down."
Lilliane Ackerman: “No, no hon.. Not that kind of gift.” That same hand rests lightly upon the girl’s upper chest. “It’s a gift on the inside. You’ll be stronger, faster… Be able to protect yourself along with your mothers.”
Jaina Lefevre tips her head, and her lip quivers. Under Lili's hand, the child's heart races, but her voice is quiet. "I don't want no more bloods. I gotta takes care of Mommy 'cause she got shotted."
Wesley Edenbaum strolls off of the lift with a mug of coffee in hand, walking over to Aylin. "Thought you might like this Ma'am" He says, grinning.
Aylin Daviau took the cup and offered something of a smile, a small sip was taken before she lowered it again "Thankyou Mr Edenbaum" she said then shifted her attention to Lilli "We can begin shortly, preparations have already been made"
Lilliane Ackerman: “Trust me, okay?” She offers the girl an uncharacteristically soft smile before her gaze swivels to rest upon the newly arrived. “It’s about damn time.” She pushes against her knees in order to reclaim a standing position.
Jaina Lefevre watches Lilli and something in her...shifts. Trust Lilli? Probably not...but the Machiavellian mind that created this child knew precisely what they were doing. She turns to Aylin and says "Makes sure you clean me up good and don't let me hurts after. They'll finds out then."
Aylin Daviau arched a brow "Ja ja, I have things to attend to beforehand, this will not take long....you have spoken to it?" she enquired, apparently the child was an it too, she then laughed just softly "Nein, no injury..I would not hurt you" she said, probably lying but such was life.
Lilliane Ackerman looks quickly to the child as she speaks, an unseen blink marking a moment’s surprise. There was indeed more than what met the eye where the girl was concern. She found herself moderately impressed. “Yes, Jaina…” She places additional emphasis on the girl’s name for some reason unknown even to herself. “Is aware of the procedure and is apparently willing.”
Jaina Lefevre looks from Aylin to Lilli. "I means it. Last time...I had bad headaches. They knowed you did somethin."
Wesley Edenbaum coughs, holding the cup of coffee out to Aylin. "Er... is my assistance needed?" He looks around the room nervously, unsure of what exactly was going on.
Aylin Daviau: "Good then please strap it down, I will be in shortly" she said, this procedure was a rather simple one, she only needed to inject the subject with nanites infused with something very simular to steroids though without the negatives which usually came with this, it would be slow and gradually infiltrate the system, so no sudden changes would be seen, the strength would be far more hidden..along with this shed inject her with stemcells, derived from the muscles of a healthy specimen then modified they would increase her muscle mass some but not too much so, primarily, she would be stronger, faster and more agile which of course was the aim "You may observe if you wish" she said, finally adressing Wes again.
Wesley Edenbaum folds his arms and stands in the corner, his face impassive. The PDA hanging at his belt lets off a few sparks and he pats it a few times, making sure it doesn't catch on fire again.
Lilliane Ackerman moves to stand behind the girl, splaying fingers gently against her back in an attempt to usher her into the next room. “As promised, this won’t be anything like the last time. You’ll be in and out of here in no time.”
Yen Kong, BME Research Fellow, checks for colonies of beating heart muscle cells in the Lurie Biomedical Engineering Building on February 7, 2014.
Kong, a member of the Cell Signaling in Engineered Tissues (CSET) lab that Putnam heads, developed a research program to see if fibroblasts, a cell type common in scar tissue, could be transformed into heart muscle cells.
By using this method of stem cell research, Kong and Putnam hope to transform scar tissue from heart attacks into new heart muscle.

Wow look Mrs. johnsson is growing whiskers and fangs…
well look at Mr. Whitechapel he is growing whiskers too and his snout it getting cone-like and he is getting rodent teeth….
Eh I think we should separate them before their instincts turns on, and hey sci-bot hide my expensive cheddar in the fridge!!!
