Comparing Artificial Intelligence and Genetic Engineering: Commercialization Lessons

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly leaving its academic home and moving into the marketplace. There are few precedents for an arcane academic subject becoming commercialized so rapidly. But, genetic engineering, which recently burst forth from academia to become the foundation for the hot new biotechnology industry, provides useful insights into the rites of passage awaiting the commercializat,...

Genetic Engineering of Mammalian Cells

Genetic Engineering of Living Cells and Organisms

Genetic engineering (GE) by transgenesis has three main application areas: medicine, agriculture and bioremediation of the environment. In all three areas, transgenic crop plants, livestock, microorganisms and viruses are used. In the future we will increasingly be confronted also with transgenic trees, insects, fish species, and viruses. A development towards multi-transgenic, ‘stacked’, const...

Application of Nanoscaffolds and Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Tissue Engineering

Stem cell research has obtained much prominence in recent years for its therapeutic potential in dealing with serious diseases, many of which are essentially incurable by routine therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells with pluripotency and immunomodulatory properties are suitable candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Today, nanofibrous scaffolds are widely used in tissue en...
