The world, as we all know is going into high technological advances and its going real fast! Things that we never imagine possible is now a reality. Babies formed out of experiments, genetic diseases being corrected, solutions are being uncovered for medical problems we never thought we could solve, new ways to treat diseases and…

Should parents pay a blood bank to store the blood from their newborn baby’s umbilical cord and placenta, in case that child or another family member ever needs it to treat cancer Expectant parents are being urged to do so by companies that have sprung up during the past few years to sell cord-blood banking…

Science has built a reputation for breaking boundaries.  Science never treads lightly along the great unexplored frontiers, whether those frontiers be space, sea, or any other object of wonder and speculation.  Yet perhaps humanity’s most enduring curiosity resides in itself. Whether one considers the human mind or the human body, no subject has remained as open…. or as…

A continuing concern is that pigs have different lifespan than humans and their tissues age at a different rate. Disease transmission (excisions) and permanent alteration to the genetic code of minerals are a cause for concern. Genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, genetic modification/ manipulation (GM) and gene splicing are terms that are applied to the…

Plants utilize nutrition in the form of inorganic minerals for growth and development. Plant nutrients can be divided into two groups and these are macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are elements required by plants in relatively large quantities and these include Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), phosphorus (P), potassium(K), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg)…

Thesis: In the great debate of biomedical engineering, stem cell research has become a hot topic as the religious community has become outraged with the destruction…

Agenda 21 is composed of 40 chapters that identify each challenge and propose simple realistic solutions towards sustainable placement which is: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Section One: Social and Economic Dimensions Chapter 1 Preamble to Agenda 21: No nation can secure…

Introduction: To acquire the consistent results in biomedical research, familial stableness is indispensable and it is achieved via cryopreservation technique. Technique of cryopreservation involves the saving of feasible cells, populating tissues, gametes, embryos, variety meats and besides some beings on chilling at low sub-zero temperatures, characteristically at -196A°C for a drawn-out clip to implement the…

Porcin liver esterase (PLE) belongs to a family of carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1) (Musidlowska & Bornscheuer 2003, p. 1139). Carboxylesterases often differ in their immunological, genetic and biochemical properties and have different functions depending on the part of the organism they are expressed. The enzyme is isolated from pigs’ hepatic tissues and is constituted of three…

In the beginning when the first Micro RNA lin – 4 was discovered, it was thought that it was the only Micro RNA. This Micro RNA was acknowledged by genetics in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This Micro RNA is related to the development of the creature with time. Quite interesting to know about this gene…
