Old world style and grace are what await at D.B. Bradley in the evocative Eugenia hotel. This fascinating property features an historic house surrounded by lush gardens, an inviting pool and authentic antique furnishings and vintage pieces from the British colonial era. D.B. Bradley has recently expanded the dining area and it is well suited for corporate events, weddings and special occasion dining. "); } Rating for The D.B. Bradley The Venue It feels like you have stepped back in time to a bygone era from the moment you arrive. It almost has the feel of visiting a museum as you discover exotic animal skins, rarified butterfly collections in display cases, and mysterious taxidermy animals mounted on walls. There are no replicas here as it is a veritable feast of vintage antiques that where collected by the previous Taiwanese owner from Asia, Europe and Africa. The concept of D.B. Bradley was inspired from the life of Dan Beach Bradley who was a missionary who settled in Thailand. The food served is based on an eclectic European and Asian theme of cross cultural gourmet delicacies prepared by Chef Prajak Chotchueng and his talented team. You will find Thai specialties as well as international favorites such as soups, salads, pastas, seafood and steak. The Cuisine Start your meal off with a signature cocktail such as the Eugenia Cocktail made from vodka, cranberry, red wine, Cointreau, lime juice, blue berry syrup and Sprite. It is sour and sweet and very easy to drink. For a starter I recommend the Pan Seared Alaskan Deep Sea Scallops w/ Cauliflower Wasabi Mousseline & Lentils. It may seem like an odd combination, but the textural elements on the plate are very cohesive with the addition of the crispy green salad. The lentil is a nice contrast to the creamy cauliflower mash and the flavors work well with the sweet scallop. Pair it with a glass of Las Moras Pinot Grigio, 2011 from Argentina and you have a "hit" on your hands. For the main course you may want to try the Roasted Australian Rack of Lamb w/ Seasonal Vegetables & Olive Sauce. While the vegetables on this dish are perhaps a bit of an afterthought and do not really bring much to the table, the lamb is well seasoned and the sauce is thoroughly enjoyable especially when paired with a glass of J Bouchon Merlot Reserva, 2011 from the Maule Valley in Chile. For dessert you don't want to miss the Amaretto Cheesecake. Not only is it a generous portion that is large enough to share between two people, but it is a rich and creamy delight with a yummy crust on the bottom and a tart berry sauce. Verdict The Eugenia has long been a favorite city escape for local celebrities, discerning travelers and longtime Bangkok residents. D.B. Bradley is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has an ala carte Sunday Brunch available for just $47.87USD (1490Baht) ++ per person. D.B. Bradley has recently teamed up with Fine Seat so that you can make online reservations directly from their Facebook page.

Scientists create 'human liver' from stem cells

Scientists in Japan said they had grown human liver tissue from stem cells in a first that holds promise for alleviating the critical shortage of donor organs. Creating lab-grown tissue to replenish organs damaged by accident or disease is a Holy Grail for the pioneering field of research into the premature cells known as stem cells. Now Takanori Takebe of the Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine and a team reported Wednesday in the journal Nature that they grew tissue "resembling the (human) adult liver" in a lab mouse. They first created induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells which they mixed with other cell types and coaxed into "liver buds" -- the precursor clusters that develop into a liver. The buds, each about five millimetres (0.2 inches) big, were then transplanted onto a mouse brain, where they were observed transforming into a "functional human liver" complete with blood vessels, the scientists wrote. "To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the generation of a functional human organ from pluripotent stem cells," said the report. The technique has yet to be tested in humans, but serves as an important proof of concept, it added. Stem cells are infant cells that can develop into any part of the body. Until a few years ago, when iPS cells were created, the only way to obtain stem cells was to harvest them from human embryos. This is controversial because it requires the destruction of the embryo, a process to which religious conservatives and others object. iPS cells are easily-obtainable mature cells that are "reprogrammed" into a versatile, primitive state from where they can develop into any kind of cell in the body. Takebe told a press conference ahead of the report's release that the man-made liver was observed through a replacement glass skull that was fitted around the mouse's brain. The liver developed blood vessels which fused with those of the animal. It also performed certain human-specific liver functions -- producing proteins and processing specific drugs. "We have concluded that this liver is functioning," the scientist said. "We think this is enough for improving the survival after liver failure." Scientists commenting on the research described it as promising. "This science opens up the distinct possibility of being able to create mini-livers from the skin cells of a patient dying of liver failure," said Malcolm Alison, professor of stem cell biology at the Queen Mary University of London. "Human mature liver cells transplanted on their own can fail to thrive, but if immature liver cells are first combined with their normally nurturing supportive cells, they can mature in the transplanted host and function efficiently," he said in a statement issued by the Science Media Centre. Dusko Ilic from Kings College London said "the promise of an off-shelf-liver seems much closer than one could hope even a year ago", but the strategy has yet to be proven in humans. "Whilst the title of the paper is 'functional human liver', these liver buds do not contain the biliary structures (which drain toxins out of the liver) or immune cells that characterise real human liver," added Stuart Forbes, professor of transplantation and regenerative medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Chris Mason of University College London said the buds may be useful for drug testing in the lab, which is currently restricted by the limited availability of liver cells from human cadavers. Takebe said the method may also work in organs like the pancreas, kidneys or lungs, but it would be another 10 years before trials are done in humans. One key requirement would be to shrink the "buds" to a much smaller size so they can be injected into the bloodstream and taken up by the body internally, he said.
