WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, March 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) California Sports Company KSwiss and FORM Athletics endorsed Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Jon "Bones" Jones made history Saturday night at UFC 128, becoming the youngest UFC Champion ever! Bringing home the title of Light Heavyweight Champion, 23-year-old Jones was up against Maurico "Shogun" Rua.
As if being named youngest champion ever in the UFC was not momentous enough, Jon "Bones" Jones continues to blaze the trail in history making for the UFC with a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this Thursday, March 24th. Jones is the first ever UFC fighter to be featured on the show.
Ever prepared and ever the gentlemen, Jones had an unexpected and untelevised warm up when he subdued an accused thief with a figure four leglock at a park in Paterson, NJ, just hours before the fight.
Despite Rua's reputation as a well-rounded champion and many awards, including Fighters Only World MMA Awards 2010 Knockout of the Year, Jones entered the cage in full form, controlling the fight from the opening bell. Jones clearly dominated Rua through the first two rounds with unorthodox striking, speedy footwork, length, and cardio. Halfway into the third round after many cleanly landed blows, Jones landed a knee that put Rua down and the match was officially declared a TKO victory for Jones.
FORM Athletics and KSwiss congratulate Jones on his amazing performance. "Jones is more than a star, he is an icon. We believed in Jones from the inception of FORM Athletics, and watching him achieve this amazing feat in the UFC and becoming the youngest champion in history was truly breathtaking. We are proud to work with such a dedicated athlete and upstanding individual, Jones embodies the ideals for which FORM Athletics stands," said Mark Miller, president of FORM Athletics and KSwiss Orange County.
FORM Athletics fighters dominated the fight card 4-0 at UFC 128. Jones captured the championship against RUA, Joseph Benavidez defeated Ian Loveland, Erik Koch took down Raphael Assuncao, and "The California Kid" Urijah Faber triumphed over former WEC Bantamweight Champion Eddie Wineland in the co-main event. Landing several good combinations in the final round, Faber put away WIneland and is now set to face Dominick Cruz for a title shot for the UFC Bantamweight Champion title.

Bird embryo provides unique insights into development related to cancer and wound healing
2011-03-24
Avian embryos could join the list of model organisms used to study a specific type of cell migration called epiboly, thanks to the results of a study published this month in the journal Developmental Dynamics. The new study provides insights into the mechanisms of epiboly, a developmental process involving mass movement of cells as a sheet, which is linked with medical conditions that include wound healing and cancer.
The study, published online on March 15, explains how epithelial cells expand as a sheet and migrate to engulf the entire avian egg yolk as it grows. It ...
MIT systems biologists use computer models to predict animal cell behavior
2011-03-24
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Biological systems, including cells, tissues and organs, can function properly only when their parts are working in harmony. These systems are often dauntingly complex: Inside a single cell, thousands of proteins interact with each other to determine how the cell will develop and respond to its environment.
To understand this great complexity, a growing number of biologists and bioengineers are turning to computational models. This approach, known as systems biology, has been used successfully to model the behavior of cells grown in laboratory dishes. ...

Stem cell therapy for age-related macular degeneration -- a step closer to reality
2011-03-24
Washington, D.C. – The notion of transplanting adult stem cells to treat or even cure age-related macular degeneration has taken a significant step toward becoming a reality. In a study published today in Stem Cells, Georgetown University Medical Center researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, the ability to create retinal cells derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells that mimic the eye cells that die and cause loss of sight.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in older Americans and worldwide. ...
Outcomes improved by longer delays between heart attacks and elective surgeries
2011-03-24
LOS ANGELES—Before undergoing elective surgery, patients should consider waiting longer after a heart attack than is currently recommended, according to a study scheduled for publication in the May issue of the journal, Annals of Surgery.
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology recommend patients wait at least four to six weeks after a heart attack before undergoing elective surgery. This guidance is based on studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s.
The new study examined surgical outcomes among more than 550,000 California patients over ...

PAVA Signs Agreements For Supply Of Combined Feed To Livestock Farms
2011-03-22
The Company stresses that cooperation with the livestock farms in a separate line of work does not mean that the grain processor prioritizes one particular area of operation. The crucial point here is different requirements that are put forward by the Company's partners. While wholesale companies place orders for traditional recipes, livestock farms have individual requirements. Such separate approach to production and distribution of combined feed has emerged due to increase in the number of contracts with farms and their elevated interest in PAVA's products.
