Zain Hashmi is a three-year-old little boy from northern England with big brown eyes and a fatal disease, beta thalassaemia major. As his bone marrow is unable to produce sufficient numbers of red blood cells, he needs regular transfusions and is unlikely to survive for long unless transplanted with suitable stem cells. These could come from the bone marrow of a donor with matching tissue type,...
متن کاملGreen light for gene targeting in plants.
P recision engineering of eukaryotic organisms requires efficient techniques for homology-based replacement of an endogenous gene by an introduced gene, a process termed gene targeting (GT). Because foreign DNA is preferentially integrated by nonhomologous recombination in plants and animals, special strategies are needed to increase the frequency and facilitate the detection of GT. Developing ...
متن کاملA green light for new research.
water on culture medium, let it incubate, and see if any bacterial colonies develop. But that technique demands lots of waiting, and you might prefer a quicker technique-say, one that allows you to watch the bacteria grow in real time. Laura Leff of the department of biological sciences at Kent State University in Ohio does just that-watches bacteria grow right before her eyes-by labeling them ...
متن کاملGreen Light for Alternative to Rabbit Test
-A framework is developed to take explicitly into account the conflicting demands of ethics and scientific rigor in the design of clinical trials. The framework recognizes the part played by the clinical-scientific community in the weighing of a new result provided by a clinical trial. To illustrate the usefulness of the framework, a value system is adopted which gives relatively high weight to...
متن کاملGreen light for the cell cycle.
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in unraveling the control mechanisms operating on the plant cell cycle and most of the key regulators have now been identified, including cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), cyclins, CDK-inhibitory proteins, the WEE kinase and proteins of the retinoblastoma-related protein (RBR)/E2F/DP pathway. The review discusses recent developments in our und...
