Biotechnology is one of the most exciting and amazing technologies this world has seen. Biotechnology is the use of living organisms or biological processes to develop useful agricultural‚ industrial‚ or medical products. In other words‚ biotechnology is the procedure of using organisms and their components to create useful things for humans. As a matter of fact‚ people are being aware of this new technology through different types of entertainment like movies‚ TV shows‚ and video games. As more

Cory King ENG 120 Sec. 02 Spring 2002 March 15‚ 2002 Cloning‚ and Stem Cell Research Technology has advanced a great deal within the past few years. We have learned so much information about animal’s genes and what can be done with them. However‚ with this new information brings new questions and arguments. So far‚ scientists have successfully cloned a sheep‚ a monkey‚ a bull‚ and are working on an endangered breed of ox‚ of course cloning animals and conducting research on those animals does

Lactoferrin also could be used potentially to help treat some auto-immune diseases. Sufferers of arthritis‚ multiple sclerosis‚ and even septic shock could benefit from Lactoferrin’s ability to keep the immune system in check and from over-reacting. In studies‚ it was found that Lactoferrin reduced the mortality of pigs introduced to septic shock by twenty five percent. It was also show to reduce the blood-toxin levels in rats in another study. Lactoferrin’s many properties‚ lowering inflammatory

Genes are the building blocks of life. They uniquely define each and every one of us‚ from our hair color to our ability to fight disease. For the past few decades‚ the study of genetics has given scientists an ability that we as a species never had before-- the ability to directly modify our genetic makeup. With this scientific breakthrough‚ the possibilities are endless with real world implications. On a darker note‚ this also means that genetic modification has the ability to adversely affect

Unit 2 M3 Justifying the key features in a specialist and not specialist lab Lamina Flow Laminar air-flow systems have been used by biological industries to control contamination by dust and other microorganisms which can affect the reliability of precision parts. Laminar flow units consist of ultrahigh-efficiency filters which are surrounded by a cabinet or a hood. The air stream which travels at extremely high speeds‚ moves in parallel patterns so that the cleanliness of the air is independent

December 9‚ 2010 Genetic Engineering Science has been a key factor in discovering new ways to improve the quality of life. Genetic engineering‚ also known as genetic modification‚ has been a scientific breakthrough in discovering ways to genetically modify organisms as well as the creation of genetically modified foods. In this world‚ there are many countries that are struggling with ever-pervasive dry spells and old and novel pests. In this world‚ there are many peoples that are born with

* Sirtris was hoping to develop drugs that could treat diseases of aging‚ and in so doing had the potential to extend the lifespan of human beings. * The Sirtris team had‚ in fact‚ established a link between resveratrol‚ a compound found in red wine-producing grapes‚ and sirtuins‚ a newly discovered family of enzymes with links to improved longevity‚ metabolism and health in living things as diverse as yeast‚ mice and humans. Sinclair and Westphal were building Sirtris around the development

Designer Babies “Gerber may have thought of it first decades ago‚ but at least 50 medical centers today… could claim the motto ‘babies are our business’” (Moira). Throughout history‚ there have been countless improvements and advancements in technology throughout the medical field. Most of these technologies have proven to be successful and productive‚ although some technologies haven’t led to be as helpful. One invention on the horizon in genetics that will add yet another technological failure

Genetically Modified Plants‚ Innovation at its finest By Liiban Hersi Genetically modified (GM) plants have been a topic of controversy for decades. Arguments have been made about their effect on ecosystems and the human body‚ and the positives that they yield such as an improved shelf life‚ and improved nutrients. However it is clear that with a growing population in dire need of more food sources‚ GM plants are necessary. In addition to supplying an increasing demand in food‚ GM plants also
