First frozen egg baby born in Canada
The McGill University Health Center (MUHC) in Montreal is pleased to announce the first successful birth in Canada resulting from frozen eggs. A team led by Professor Seang Lin Tan, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill University and Director of the McGill Reproductive Centre at the MUHC in Montreal confirmed the birth of a healthy baby boy, weighing 3740grams on April 2...Technique may allow cancer patients to freeze eggs, preserving fertility before starting treatment
A new technique might allow women diagnosed with cancer the opportunity to have children when chemotherapy and radiation treatments rob them of their fertility, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. Freezing eggs is one t...Human Eggs Can Develop From Ovarian Surface Cells In Vitro
Research has shown for the first time that human eggs may develop directly from cultured ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) cells derived from adult human ovaries. Oocytes derived from the culture of OSE cells developed in vitro into mature eggs suitable for fertilization and development into an embryo. These findings, published today in the Open Access journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinolog...First production of human monoclonal antibodies in chicken eggs published in Nature Biotechnology
Chicken-produced antibodies demonstrate enhanced cell killing compared to conventionally produced anti-cancer antibodies Origen Therapeutics today announced the first published scientific report of fully functional, human sequence monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced in chickens. The antibodies were expressed solely in the chicken oviduct and deposited into egg white in concentrations of...Scientists succeed in cloning human embryos from eggs matured in the lab
Scientists in Belgium have discovered how to clone human embryos from eggs that have been matured in the laboratory. Their discovery should make it easier for scientists to create embryonic stem cell lines from cloned embryos and develop them to provide eggs and sperm for infertile couples, the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology heard today (Monday...CORNING PCR MICROPLATE "EGG CRATE" STRIP HOLDER,NON STERILE,PC from Sigma-Aldrich
Description:General description: The "egg crate" style strip holder is designed for use with any Costar flat bottom strips. Ste...Impact of research park firms pegged at $680M

In opposition to the policies of the Bush administration, whose campaign he supports, Schwarzenegger announced on Monday that he will be giving his support to <a href="http://www.voterguide.ss.ca.gov/propositions/prop71-title.htm"...Now you can identify Sperm and Egg donors
The British government, in a landmark decision, has ruled that henceforth donors of sperms and eggs can be identified if both the donor and recipient desire so. However if the donor feels not to reveal his/her identity, it will not be revealed. Prior to this ruling the identity of the donors of sperms and eggs have always been withheld. This would be a major ruling with far reaching conse...Benefits Of Fruits and Veggies
Overweight and at risk for stroke? Fruit and vegetables may be what you need say researchers. In a recent study researchers say they // found antioxidants in fruits and vegetables which may reduce the risk of ischemic strokes, the most common type of stroke caused when blood clots cut off oxygen supply to the brain. Carotenoids are the antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. For th...Canada helps in giving birth to world first baby from frozen egg
McGill University Health Center of Canada helped in conceiving and// delivering world’s first baby born from frozen eggs. The 26 year old mother of the baby had her eggs collected from her, frozen by the special process called vitrification, and thawed and fertilized from sperms of her partner through in-vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The resultant embryo was...Fighting against disease as easy as eating eggs
The immune system has the remarkable ability to discriminate between self and non-self. If not for the effective functioning of the immune system, the human body would have lost its power to fight against diseases eventually leading to death. // The immune system produces certain substances called antibodies, which identify the invading pathogens and cancer cells, effectively labeling t...Diabetic Friendly Egg Developed In India
Poultry egg should be avoided by patients with high cholesterol especially in diabetics, now Punjab University// scientist in India has developed a egg variety that does no harm to diabetics. The incidence of non-insulin dependent diabetes is growing especially in Indian sub-continent. 'The modified egg is a good dietary supplement for diabetics,' said S.K. Taneja, a professor in the un...Egg-Shaped Bioceramic Orbital Implants
Description:Egg-Shaped Bioceramic orbital implants insert easily into orbital socket and will not cling to surrounding tissue. Improved interconnectivity between pores enhances vascularization. Implants may be easily drilled without crumbling....Geggel Corneal Transplant Marker
Description:These markers are available with 16 or 24 circular inner and outer teeth, and have an inner 6.5mm diameter, and an outer 9.5mm diameter. The markers are designed to mark the donor and recipient corneas in one single step for a 16 or 24 running bite suture placement. Each marker places inner and outer points on the cornea to achieve a precise and rapid 16 or 24 bite anti-torque closure. The specia...Electrogastrography (EGG) Analysis
Description:The Electrogastrography (EGG) Analysis for POLYGRAM NET™ works with the Polygraf™ ID multiparametric recorder to record and analyze multichannel EGG signals. The EGG analysis takes the guesswork out of skin preparation by performing an automatic electrode impedance check on every electrode pairing prior to the beginning of a recording. If the electrode impedance is measured above a ce...
