Biotechnology in Animals 2008-12-29 23:12:00 The most controversial applications of biotechnology involve the use of animals and the transfer of genes from animals to plants. The first animal-based application of biotechnology was the approval of the use of bacterially produced bovine somatotropin (bST) in dairy cows. Bovine somatotropin, a naturally occurring hormone , increases milk production. This application has not been commercially su Read more:Animals

Marketing and Management in BioTechnology 2008-12-21 07:07:00 Drug development is not a simple process. The process is more comprehensible if an individual joins a project team at its inception rather than as a replacement team member, as is often the case. It is at the initial team meetings that the core development strategy is decided. Successful drug development depends on the quality of the development strategy.Ultimately, successful drug development is Read more:Management

Power of Biogenetics 2008-12-10 11:43:00 According to rough estimates from EPRI, corrosion costs the U.S. electric power industry between $5 billion and $10 billion each year. In steam generating plants, for example, EPRI estimates that half of all forced outages are caused by corrosion. Moreover, corrosion can increase the cost of electricity by more than 10 percent.One way to solve the problem is simply to change your bacteria. Under n
What is DNA? 2008-12-08 12:30:00 Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints or a recipe, or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such
Engineered Food and the FDA 2008-11-22 00:22:00 To get bioengineered medicines, grains, vegetables, and animals on the market for human consumption, U.S. biotech companies must pass their products through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).Recently, the FDA has been in the news because its Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992, which forces drug companies to pay in to expedite drug approval, came up for renewal. That same year, the FDA rej Read more:Engineered
Types of Gene therapy and general strategies 2008-11-07 20:42:00 Gene therapy may be classified into two types1) Germ line gene therapy2) Somatic cell gene therapya) Incase of germ line gene therapy germ cells that is sperms or eggs are modified by the introduction of functional genes, which are ordinarily integrated into their genomes. Therefore the change due to therapy is heritable and passed onto the later generations. This approach, heretically, is highly

The human genome project 2008-11-02 00:54:00 Although great strides have been made in gene therapy in a relatively short time, its potential usefulness has been limited by lack of scientific data concerning the multitude of functions that genes control in the human
body. For instance, it is now known that the vast majority of genetic material does not store information for the creation of proteins, but rather is involved in the control and r
The biological basis of gene therapy 2008-10-30 12:32:00 Gene therapy is a rapidly growing field of medicine in which genes are introduced into the body to treat diseases. Genes control heredity and provide the basic biological code for determining a cell's specific functions. Gene therapy seeks to provide genes that correct or supplant the disease-controlling functions of cells that are not, in essence, doing their job. Somatic gene therapy introduces

The history of gene therapy 2008-10-02 00:31:00 In the early 1970s, scientists proposed "gene surgery" for treating inherited diseases caused by faulty genes. The idea was to take out the disease-causing gene and surgically implant a gene that functioned properly. Although sound in theory, scientists, then and now, lack the biological knowledge or technical expertise needed to perform such a precise surgery in the human body.However, in 1983, a
