Cybrids (medical)
A cytoplasmic Hybrid (biology), hybrid (or cybrid, a portmanteau of the two words) is a eukaryotic Cell (biology), cell line produced by the fusion of a whole cell with a cytoplast. Cytoplasts are enucleated cells. This enucleation (microbiology), enucleation can be effected by simultaneous application of centrifugal force and treatment of the cell with an agent that disrupts the cytoskeleton. A special case of cybrid formation involves the use of ''rho-zero'' cells as the whole cell partner in the fusion. Rho-zero cells are cells which have been depleted of their own mitochondrial DNA by prolonged incubation with ethidium bromide, a chemical which inhibits mitochondrial DNA replication. The rho-zero cells do retain mitochondria and can grow in rich culture medium with certain supplements. They do retain their own nuclear genome. A cybrid is then a hybrid cell which mixes the Cell nucleus, nuclear genes from one cell with the mitochondrial genes from another cell. Using this po ...

Hyperion Cantos
The ''Hyperion Cantos'' is a series of science fiction novels by Dan Simmons. The title was originally used for the collection of the first pair of books in the series, '' Hyperion'' and '' The Fall of Hyperion'', and later came to refer to the overall storyline, including ''Endymion'', ''The Rise of Endymion'', and a number of short stories.

Of the four novels, ''Hyperion'' received the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1990; ''The Fall of Hyperion'' won the Locus and British Science Fiction Association Awards in 1991; and ''The Rise of Endymion'' received the Locus Award in 1998. All four novels were also nominated for various science fiction awards.
