Cytoplasm affects the number of vertebrae in carp-goldfish clones
The March 2005 issue of Biology of Reproduction contains a report of some intriguing findings in cloned offspring created when nuclei from one genus of fish were transplanted to enucleated eggs of another genus of fish. The seven offspring, cloned from nuclei of common carp and egg cytoplasm of goldfish, were virtually identical to the nuclear donor species, Cyprinus carpio, in appearance...High-Throughput Cultivation of Bacterial Clones
Stratagene The tempest thermoshaker and a 96-deep-well round-bottom plate were used to cultivate bacterial clones in a...The Attack of the Clones: No, its not a summer movie
It would also be disingenuous to suggest the process for cloning a human embryo for reproductive purposes is any different at the o...'Good' And 'Evil' Clones Of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia cells
According to Australian scientists, there are two types of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) cells, good and bad. //The latter type of cells are those that have a pre-existing immunity to drugs used to treat ALL, that is responsible for relapse after treatment. The discovery means that now researchers may be able to design therapies that will specifically target these resistant subclo...Tropical Cyclones Play Important Role in Climate-control
Purdue University researchers have found evidence that tropical cyclones and hurricanes play an important role in the ocean circulation patterns that transport heat and maintain the climate of North America and Europe. According to Matthew Huber, Purdue University professor of earth and atmospheric sciences who led the research group, the findings support a 2001 theory by MIT profe...
