Lab 8 - Tissues and Organs

Rules:
  1. Search for and then submit in the comment box below an article which relates to this lab's topic that has both an interesting and exciting story.
  2. Include with your submission:  your name, your section, the title of the article and the URL link to it's source.  Additionally, upon submitting the above, I ask that you also include a very brief description.  Hint:  make your article stand out, in other words, make me want to read what you've found.
  3. Should you be selected as one of the lucky three, you will be required to write a 200 to 500 word blog post that describes the article you found.  The post you write up will be featured on this blog. Your post must include citations and references giving credit to the original source.  As an example, see the first post on this blog:  HERE, note that the description is 291 words in length.
