That could mean that CyThera will be sought out by academic scientists who are anxious to begin work on cells that they think can be used to grow heart, brain, liver and other cells to repair damaged organs.
Ross said CyThera has so many cell lines because the company was trying to find a different way to derive stem cells from the method used at the University of Wisconsin, where the first human embryonic stem cells were isolated three years ago.
That means that when CyThera does have some cells ready for transplant, it will already know how many cells are needed and where best to transplant them, taking some of the risk out of the clinical trials.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Cythera / Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things
Cythera is published as a novel, although the narrative is constructed the same way as the trilogy -- three stories (with different narrators) of seemingly disparate characters and events that ultimately link-up.
Cythera posits several Earth realities (numbered 1, 2, and 3), which may or may not be computer-generated simulacrums, that begin to interact with one another.
Considering also that the last third of the book takes place on an island called Kithira and that in the original Greek Cythera would also be pronounced with a hard K sound, this admittedly obscure reference may not be so much of a reach.

There is still some ambiguity to the plot, but with the context of Frenzetta especially, some of the more seemingly inexplicable threads are resolved, for me. The remainder of them work well as deliberate ambiguity.
A swirling giddy mix of William Gibson and William S Burroughs, Cythera is a veritable vortex of images - Lolita-like doll children, beautiful cyborgs, pirate ships, Antarctican mansions, computers, ghosts.
Cythera has its gems, many flashes of sharp and surreal brilliance, but it was rather like watching a firework display that went on too long; reading more than a chapter or so had me reaching for my headache pills (I've given myself a headache now, just from thinking up all those metaphors!)

Watteau's Pilgrimage to Cythera and the subversive utopia of the opera-ballet
It has escaped critical notice that these two opera-ballets represent satirical attacks o n eponymous court ballets, the Ballet des arts of 1663 and the Ballet des amours deguisez of 1664, both closely identified with royal propaganda.
Watteau would have been familiar with the ballet as a genre from the time he worked at the Opera, probably as a set painter, on his arrival in Paris in 1702.

Berio qualifies his judgment about Chailly in expressing his esteem for the intelligence with which the conductor approaches music, and it is, at bottom, this deeper knowledge that ultimately emerges in Chailly’s expressed comments and the leadership he brought to the Concertgebouw.
With the other film, Voyage to Cythera, Scheffer explores modern music by using the work of Berio as a point of departure.
Beyond that, Voyage to Cythera serves as a tribute to Berio’s contributions to the musical tradition that Mahler represented with his eclectic style.

 Pilgrimage to Cythera | Musée du Louvre
This superb painting was the reception piece that Watteau submitted to the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.
The work - The Pilgrimage to Cythera - proved to be one of his masterpieces, and he was admitted to the Academy as a painter of "fêtes galantes" - courtly scenes in an idyllic country setting.
In Antiquity, Cythera, one of the Greek islands, was thought to have a serious claim to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love.

 WebMuseum: Watteau, Jean-Antoine
In the years 1710-12 he painted the first of three versions of the myth of Cythera, the island of love for which pilgrims embark but never arrive.
Genre painting came back into favour when the Academy admitted Watteau to its ranks in 1717 on the presentation of this work, the subject of which was so novel that the term "fête galante" was coined to describe it.
In an iridescent landscape which owes much to Venetian painting, allegory is caught up in the swirl of couples in a reverie; a new and less didactic interpretation of Titian's elegiac mode.
