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!!!

Aylin Daviau nods once, hardly concerned about the sudden departure she simply places the used syringe upon the tray and retreives the second containing the altered stemcells...like the first syringe it was equally as large though this time she lowered it to the girls thigh, began to try to push it directly into the muscle.
Jaina Lefevre arches in the restraints at this one and screams, gasping a breath as it -hurts- and she jerks in the bonds, sobbing. "NoNONO! HURTS!"
Lilliane Ackerman continues to hold the girl’s hand, the elbow of her free arm crooking about the child’s head as she leans forward against the table. Fingertips lightly graze her shoulder, a comforting gesture as she speaks softly in her ear. “Much better than last time, remember? Almost done now… You’ve being very very brave and I’m proud of you.”
Aylin Daviau was so accustomed to screams that she simply ignored them..almost robotoc in her mannerisms she didnt even frown, nothing but determination to finish what had to be done, she pushed again and far harder this time...if she managed to push it into the muscle beneith she'd begin to depress the plunger, empying the cells into the girls system.
Jaina Lefevre closes her eyes and presses her face into Lilly's arm, sobbing brokenly. Her whole body is shivering and twitching now, the candy bar partly crushed and dropped as she spasms. Her foot, on the leg being injected, begins to twitch as if the toe were tapping - reaction from the intramuscular shot.
Lilliane Ackerman: “Shhh, it’s okay… It’s okay..” Continues to murmur soft reassuring phrases into the girl’s ear, an occasionally comforting caress accompanied by gentle squeezes to her hand. "It will be worth it... "
Aylin Daviau pressed the plunger down all the way then easily slid the syringe free, only then did she smile though she would say nothing to the girl "She will require a little care, preferably she will not consume too much sugar....keep her water intake high for a week minimum" she said, moving even as she spoke, both syringes were placed in the small disposal unit before she faced them again "Now, I must leave for little while, please do contact me if any problem arise"
Jaina Lefevre is whimpering and hiccupping breaths. not letting go of Lilli. She's shaking and shivering, small bruises appearing where the shots were given.
Lilliane Ackerman wastes little time removing the bindings in order to free the child, collecting the girl within a held embrace. She nods to Aylin, possibly unseen as the other woman appears to already be on her way out of the lab. “I’ll make sure she understands.”
Aylin Daviau offers a polite bow of her head then turns...no more words were required here and she headed for the elevator, needing the comfort of her home for now.
Jaina Lefevre curls in Lilli's arms, her body still shivering and twitching. She slowly lifts her head and looks at Lilli. "I'se cold, Auntie...don't feel so good.."
((Cuddles were had, blankets and warmth, and then a taxi ride home where she was tucked into bed. Such a 'good' Auntie...and adventure))

Could not figure out what this was..?
This is an image of an embryonic mouse kidney with stem cell nuclei stained in green and the cytoskeleton of the future collecting duct stained in red. This is one 1µM think optical slice taken through the tissue, grown in a droplet of media. A stack of optical sections, rotated 90 degrees, is represented as a volume on the right. Each of the tiny dark dots in the red duct is a single nucleus, green stains a nuclear protein called Six2 which is only expressed in the the stem cells.Taken by Dr. Hila Barak on a Zeiss Apotome Microscope while in my lab in 2012, and published as part of a paper available to the public as a service of the NIH [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3376351/].

Hartman et al. reveal that Drosophila Boi sequesters Hedgehog on the surface of ovarian apical cells to limit follicle stem cell proliferation. When wild-type Boi is replaced by a mutant version (green) that can’t bind Hedgehog (red), the signaling molecule accumulates around follicle stem cells, causing them to overproliferate.
