Seems there might be things growing in the pineal gland? "Keywords microcrystals • second harmonic generation • piezoelectricity • scanning electron microscopy Abstract A new form of biomineralization has been studied in the pineal gland of the human brain. It consists of small crystals that are less than 20 m in length and that are completely distinct from the often observed mulberry-type hydroxyapatite concretions. A special procedure was developed for isolation of the crystals from the organic matter in the pineal gland. Cubic, hexagonal, and cylindrical morphologies have been identified using scanning electron microscopy. The crystal edges were sharp whereas their surfaces were very rough. Energy dispersive spectroscopy showed that the crystals contained only the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen. Selected area electron diffraction and near infrared Raman spectroscopy established that the crystals were calcite. With the exception of the otoconia structure of the inner ear, this is the only known nonpathological occurrence of calcite in the human body. The calcite microcrystals are probably responsible for the previously observed second harmonic generation in pineal tissue sections. The complex texture structure of the microcrystals may lead to crystallographic symmetry breaking and possible piezoelectricity, as is the case with otoconia. It is believed that the presence of two different crystalline compounds in the pineal gland is biologically significant, suggesting two entirely different mechanisms of formation and biological functions. Studies directed toward the elucidation of the formation and functions, and possible nonthermal interaction with external electromagnetic fields are currently in progress.

OK, mycoplasma "calcifies" the pineal gland
now they are working on "crystallizing" it?
The pineal is the third eye...
what exactly are they trying to do here?
Does this somehow relate to all the "transhumanism" info that we've seen?
wondering

Someone I know was put in the hospital against her will (the psych ward) by her
family last CHristmas.
Since, her family was taught that Morgellons was real.
This woman a month later did end up back in the hospital
but fortunately, it was in the MEDICAL unit and she was
treated for a problem with her pineal gland after having
a MRI.
I need to call her Friend who works at the RED CROSS
to find out what happened or what they learned
of the condition with the pineal gland.
Yes, godsgrace..............things do seem to
somehow always connect.
But still so many dots!
Sky,
That monstanto write up was very good.
Actually, very bad in for humankind. However;
the article did explain much.

Can you tell me what it was again that was found in crystalizing in the pineal?
Thank you.

toni,
A new form of biomineralization has been studied in the pineal gland of the human brain.
they have found that something is happening to pineal glands (automatically) that never happened before...hence "new form".
They have found different shaped crystals... hexagonal, cylindrical and cubic...
It consists of small crystals that are less than 20 m in length and that are completely distinct from the often observed mulberry-type hydroxyapatite concretions.
calcifications.... turning to stone, that's what they mean.
This gets more and more interesting by the day..
Thanks Sky.. your info is incredible and always so pertinent.
I knew the pineal was involved somehow!

Thank you Godsgrace, and yes, I saw those photos. I was just wondering (what the composition was that was found), of what the biomineralization was of? Thank you  |

Godsgrace,
I do think it has to do with transhumanism and when one looks across the board at what is occurring in all matters of science, weather, towers and harrp--it gives one pause.
Yet, could there be two things occurring simultaneously--one of control and one of freedom?

I know...Kmarie!!!!
hahah She might know. Kmarie if you see this thread, do you remember what the composition of those crystals were that were found in the pineal gland that were photo'd?
Thank you.

Something called MSM? Mesoporous silica nanoparticles deliver DNA and chemicals into plants François Torney1, Brian G. Trewyn2, Victor S.-Y. Lin2 & Kan Wang1 Abstract Surface-functionalized silica nanoparticles can deliver DNA1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and drugs9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 into animal cells and tissues. However, their use in plants is limited by the cell wall present in plant cells. Here we show a honeycomb mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) system with 3-nm pores that can transport DNA and chemicals into isolated plant cells and intact leaves. We loaded the MSN with the gene and its chemical inducer and capped the ends with gold nanoparticles to keep the molecules from leaching out. Uncapping the gold nanoparticles released the chemicals and triggered gene expression in the plants under controlled-release conditions. Further developments such as pore enlargement and multifunctionalization of these MSNs may offer new possibilities in target-specific delivery of proteins, nucleotides and chemicals in plant biotechnology.

Bioinspired Silica Synthesis Chapter Authors: Siddharth V. Patwardhan, Stephen J. Clarson Summary Organisms of various kingdoms have been reported to deposit a variety of different minerals through biomineralisation 53. Key features of biomineralisation are the precise hierarchical control over structural growth of biominerals, species-specificity of the biomineral morphology, and ambient conditions (temperature and pH) for formation. The deposition of amorphous silica to form ornate frustules through biosilicification in diatoms is one example. In addition, biomineralisation is facilitated and controlled by various characteristic proteins in each biological system. The entrapment of the catalysing / templating / scaffolding biomacromolecules enables them to be recovered by selective dissolution of the biomineral. Study of these proteins, thus, is of interest in understanding biomineralisation. The proteins extracted from the diatom Cylindrothecafusiformis (silaffins) and the sponge Tethya aurantia (silicateins) have been shown to precipitate silica from silica precursors in vitro. Furthermore, this understanding helps us to design biomimetic materials, new processes, and applications based on the aforesaid minerals in a bioinspired synthetic manner in vitro. The identification of synthetic macromolecules that can act as catalysts/ templates/ scaffolds for silica formation gives exciting possibilities for bioinspired silica synthesis.

Water soluble α-helical polypeptides were used to prepare silica coated hexagonal single crystal platelets in concentrated solutions. To our knowledge, there is no other instance where polymer single crystals, typically formed under high dilution, can be grown in a bulk material. This unprecedented self-assembly process relies on complex cooperative interactions where silica condensation mediates the growth of polypeptide crystals, which in turn template silica overgrowth. The helices were also used to align samples giving monoliths composed of highly oriented layers of platelets. Overall, this procedure allows preparation of composites with good structural order and complexity via a simple biomimetic process. cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=17720359polypeptides and pineal gland: Did they use tin? n Situ Polypeptide Directed Silica Biomineralization * printer-friendly Author(s): Diana D. Glawe, Francisco Rodríguez, Morley O. Stone, Rajesh R. Naik Materials Directorate , Air Force Research Laboratory United States Silica-precipitating polypeptides were deposited onto an indium tin oxide (ITO) surface from bulk solution with and without the assistance of an externally applied electrostatic field. Exposure of the peptide-coated surface to an alkoxide precursor produced biosilica structures that were securely attached to the electrode surface. The silica morphologies resulting from the test cases using an externally applied electrostatic field during peptide deposition were distinct from the morphologies resulting from cases without an applied field. The silica morphologies observed on the ITO surface were different from the usual silica morphology resulting from static conditions. Peptide size was also shown to influence resulting biosilica morphology. The experimental results presented herein demonstrate the feasibility of creating biosilica nanostructures with controlled morphologies using polypeptides in vitro. www.mrs.org/s_mrs/sec_subscribe.asp?CID=2677&DID=107066&action=detail |

Wow, what they haven't thought of. I feel like I'm being attacked on all levels. Anyway, I found this link regarding the pineal gland, melatonin and cancer. Please take a look and comment. No wonder some people with morgs have trouble sleeping. www.eurekah.com/chapter/1640Magnolia |

melanin: rizirikira.tripod.com/Abstract Masson-Fontana staining confirmed the presence of melanin pigments in the human adult pineal gland. In 1-10 years age group, the pigments were present within the pinealocytes. In 11-20 years age group also, the pigments were in the pinealocytes only. In 21-30 year age group, the pigments were in the pinealocytes and appeared in the stroma in the areas of glial fibre predominance. In 31-40 years age group onwards, the pigments were present, in addition to pinealocytes, in the stroma among the fibres. As age advanced, the amount of extracellular pigments gradually increased, extracellular pigments were more concentrated, and the extracellular pigments were more clearly seen. There was no gender difference in the amount of melanin pigments. The background comparative anatomy also is discussed. Key words: melanocyte, melanin, pinealocytes, pineal gland www.indmedica.com/journals.php?journalid=8&issueid=32&articleid=379&action=article |

Skytroll,
Regarding the info you just posted: do you think this could be one of the reasons why it is more difficult for some people to get a good nights sleep (as they get older/age)?
