Detection of nitrofurane metabolites in food with HPLC/MS/MS

...done was prohibited in 1995 in the European animal breeding (VO (EWG) No. 1441/95). They are mentioned in appendix IV of VO (EWG) No. 2377/90 as compunds for which no upper limits can be lay down. Introduction In 2002 nitrofuranes and their metabolites were frequently detected in imported pou...

Tommy Thompson says capital needed for electronic health records

... and engineering systems. Efforts are directed at breeding plants with "softer" cell walls for easier processing, genetic engineering to create plants with more biomass, and finding ways to extract and optimize carbon-based fuels. "There is an enormous amount of biology to be captured," Donohue said. Pulse...

Mirus provides low-cost way to modify genes

...ach, the process of manipulating mouse embryos and breeding a strain of such animals can cost up to $150,000 and require up to a year of labor-intensive work. But the new approach takes a fraction of the cost and time, and scientists can make genetic changes that would kill the mouse if performed at the embr...

Animal testing: Beyond the protests, instances of mistreatment are rare

... biotech vaccines and diagnostic kits and improved breeding programs that can help to eliminate hereditary diseases. All of this has been accomplished amid an array of government regulation and researcher self-policing that has made examples of animal mistreatment rare. At UW-Madison, the All-Campus Animal C...
