Natural born killers.
This year, 30 million acres of the corn, cotton, and potatoes planted in the United States will have been genetically engineered to produce an endotoxin normally found in the microbe Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a self-contained pesticide that will be toxic only to target insects.

متن کاملFetal stem cell microchimerism: natural-born healers or killers?

Transfer of fetal cells to the mother begins soon after implantation, and increases with gestational age. FMC cells then decline after delivery, but remain detectable for years post-partum. These cells have been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis remission during pregnancy and the prevention of breas...

Once thought of as foot soldiers in the body's fight against cancer, natural killer (NK) cells are more akin to special forces in bolstering the immune system to respond to foreign invaders. New studies are revealing that rather than randomly killing cells—as was thought for many years—NK cells are programmed to seek out specific targets on cancer cells.
