[quote:Krispy71:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzI1NzIyOTkyXzRGQkM3RjJD] [i]Photo-protective Pigments Due to damage from UV-A and UV-B, marine animals have evolved to have compounds that absorb UV light and act as sunscreen. Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) can absorb UV rays at 310-360 nm. Melanin is another well-known UV-protector. Carotenoids and photopigments both indirectly act as photo-protective pigments, as they quench oxygen free-radicals. They also supplement photosynthetic pigments [b]that absorb light energy in the blue region[/b]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment[/i] [b]‘Living Laser’ Created Using Jellyfish Protein And Human Cell[/b] http://prasoondiwakar.com/wordpress/science/living-laser-created-using-jellyfish-protein-and-human-cell Snip: [i]The kidney cell-GFP combo (gain medium) was then kept in between an optical cavity made of mirrors kept 20 microns apart. The dimension of single cell gain media was also about the same. When researchers hit the cell with low energy pulses of blue light using a microscope, typical diffused ordinary fluorescence was observed. But [b]after reaching a certain threshold of input energy (~0.9 nJ), the light output from the cell changed drastically and resulted in bright, directional and narrowband emission of green light, which are the characteristics of a laser beam.[/b] Certain regions of cell showed intense lasing action (as shown in picture above) which occurred at different but close range of wavelengths (~514-519 nm). Researchers also reported that [b]even after prolonged lasing action, the cell wasResearchers speculate that the resulting light could be used to study various intercellular processes. Before producing output light, the light travels several times through the cell placed inside the optical cavity and the resulting lasing light should contain information regarding the intercellular processes. Another possible use could be to produce such lasing beams inside the body itself to kill certain cancerous cells . still alive[/b]. The lasing action lasted for few nanonseconds and was easily detectable. The cell was able to lase about 100 pulses at excitation pulse energy of 50 nJ after which photobleaching occurred and depleted the GFP. [b]But an interesting aspect of GFP infused cell is that [color=darkred][u]the cell is able to heal itself and replenish GFP[/u][/color] with time.[/b] As the energy was increased, multiple emission peaks were observed which can be attributed to multiple longitudinal oscillation modes.

IS THIS A REASON WHY JELLYFISH CAN STAND RADIATION ??? AND DEFORMATIVE MUTATIONS WE CALL CANCER ? [/quote]
