Recombinant DNA technology may enable oral, rather than injectable, delivery of protein drugs

...ite of action." The next step, Shen explains, was isolating the genetic code for G-CSF, a protein factor that stimulates white blood cell production in the body. G-CSF is used to make Neupogen(r) and Neulasta(r) - injectable drugs that work to keep an individual's white blood cell count at normal levels durin...

Scientists succeed in cloning human embryos from eggs matured in the lab
