Who wants those exotic Maryland blue crabs? If you are one of those looking for those crabs then Baltimore researchers have confirmed that these blue crabs could be raised in captivity and that too in a quick manner. The researchers have released...
Here comes a new technique capable of encouraging the survival and growth of adult stem cell! Hats off to the U.S. scientists for creating this technique. This is a step forward towards the therapeutic use of such cells.
Being the precursor cells...
Researchers at the Technion-Israel institute of Technology have engineered a method for delivering health promoting nutrients with the aid of protein particles which are present in milk in the form of carrier. This could result in low fat or non fat...
Stanford University researchers have found out that PTZ can help in improving the learning and memory of mice labs suffering from Down syndrome. Researchers discovered that a daily dose of PTZ drug enabled the Down syndrome mice to recognize objects...
Stem cell research is one such area where the world does not have a unanimous decision and where some people are against it, some are in favor of it and others simply don't know what to do. The controversy associated with embryonic stem cell research...
Genetically engineered rice or GE rice has been facing global rejection and a number of countries across continents have vowed to ban this variety of rice. All this negative reaction is the result of the contamination incident which occurred in 2006...
It's still unknown as to why the speed and complexity of evolution increases with time. It seems that scientists from Rice University have come up with a possible answer and they state that the speed of evolution has increased over time since bacteria...
Indian scientists are stressing upon the need for developing a system of genome database and are also highlighting the importance of bioinformatics and its utilization in organization of huge data. They are also stating that bioinformatics and...
While talking on pro life issues to a group of experts, Pope Benedict XVI lashed out at genetic engineering and designer babies. Speaking to the group he expressed his views on the issue and condemned in vitro fertilization and diagnostic tests...
Researchers have found out tat a bit of gene tweaking could empower the human body in fighting off the most serious diseases. If you don't believe me then read this following case to strengthen your facts:
MARK ORIGER of Watertown, Wisconsin,...
With the aid of genetic engineering scientists can insert genes from one species into another which might not be possible naturally. One of the best examples of this is human genes in rice and fish genes in tomatoes. The biggest problem encountered is...
Genetic researchers have found a new way that is expected to expand its role during human development in case of autism and mental retardation. These finding were found out during study of mutations which lead to rare genetic disease. The team of...
Up till now it was thought that Rett syndrome could not be cured. It is regarded as a severe form of autism and researchers were able to reverse the symptoms in the case of adult mice through correction of errant gene. It is being regarded as a...
Some relief for people having problems with their hip joints!! Duke University researchers have developed a method which enables specific measurement of biomechanical properties of hip joints in the case of mice. They have found out that lubricin which...
