The Word Detective Georgetown Journal of International Affairs What is mercury poisoning? Actor Jeremy Piven, best known as loudmouth talent agent Ari Gold on HBO's Entourage, has made an early exit from the Broadway play Speed the Plow, blaming a mercury-rich sushi diet and possibly use of herbal medicine. His doctor says tests revealed Piven has mercury levels five to six times higher than normal, and has ordered a fish-free diet and rest. “I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury,” playwright David Mamet told Variety. “So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer.” Piven's doctor, Carlon Colker, told the showbiz publication that “insensitive comments like that are not only unkind and unfair, they reflect a profound lack of understanding of a problem that can actually kill.” “The etiology is unclear, but his level of mercury was uncharacteristically high, one of the highest we’ve seen,” Colker, an internist at Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut, told Variety.

SITE WEB DES 3D Printed Cell Technique Allows Material To Mimic Human-Like Tissue By: Tanya Lewis, LiveScience Staff Writer Published: 04/04/2013 02:11 PM EDT on LiveScience A team of chemists has found a way to print 3D material that resembles living tissue. The scientists developed a 3D printer that squeezes out tiny water droplets into a drop of oil, creating miniature spheres with a lipid bilayer that mimics the membranes of living cells. They deposited these droplets in layers to create a material that can bend like muscle or communicate like neurons, as reported today (April 4) in the journal Science. "We've made a new kind of material. The material consists of tens of thousands of water droplets separated by a thin membrane called a lipid bilayer, the same membrane that encapsulates living cells and keeps everything from spilling out. Previous experiments have assembled droplets into lipid bilayers, but the droplets were either made by hand, or were made using techniques that couldn't control the movement of individual droplets.
