Food Grains Project To Tackle Malnutrition In India

... of germ plasm from a member nation. They could be transgenic too. After the project was approved in 2003, the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation gave a grant of $50 million, for a 10-year period to sustain the effort. By 2008, scientists expect to provide a status report on how crops must be changed worldwide...

...re engaged in genetic engineering research - 55 in transgenic work, 25 in therapeutics and 85 in basic research. India has started commercial cultivation of genetically modified cotton in the western state of Gujarat and some southern states, with several other crops in various stages of getting approvals for...

Calcium Receptor Vital For Stem Cell Migration to Bone Marrow

...owth) on stem cell migration. Studies conducted on transgenic animal models found out that the receptor played a very crucial role in the blood stem cell migration as expected. Transgenic mice that had deficient CaR receptors had low levels of blood stem cells. This observation was only seen in CaR receptor, ...

Prostate Cancer Preventable By Vitamin D Analogs

...lism of calcium and phosphorus. The study of the transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate (TRAMP) model, which develops prostate cancer as the mice age, found that both calcitriol and QW slowed the progression of prostate cancer after 14 weeks of treatment. Additionally, chronic treatment of mice with calc...

Cholesterol Mystery Solved By Nobel Laureates

...nd fat, but this response was dysfunctional in the transgenic mice such that fat and cholesterol synthesis was not suppressed. The transgenic mice also had dysregulated levels of HMG-CoA reductase protein, the precursor for cholesterol synthe...

The 'bitter' proteins

...y of California and Gladstone developed strains of transgenic mice that produce two human proteins – human amyloid precursor protein (hAPP) and human alpha-synuclein (hSYN).Of the two proteins, hAPP is linked with Alzheimer’s and hSYN with Parkinson’s; and mice that produce one of these proteins develop the sym...

Key enzyme protects against Alzheimer's

...f their memory and mental ability. In studies of transgenic mice which lacked the Pin1 gene, the scientists also discovered that the deletion of the gene was enough to cause age-related brain changes in the animals. They uncovered an unexpected cancer connection too. In laboratory studies, Lu noticed that the...

Lean Protein Could Be Key to Obesity Drugs

..., Clapham and his team showed that even though the transgenic mice ate 15-54 percent more food than normal mice, their fat-tissue mass was 44-57 percent less.The mice experienced no side effects from the increased UCP3. They had 70 percent lower cholesterol levels than normal mice and seemed to be using their i...
