Genetically modified natural killer immune cells attack, kill leukemia cells
Natural killer (NK) immune system cells can be genetically modified to brandish a powerful "on-switch" that prompts them to aggressively attack and kill leukemic cells. This finding, from researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, suggests a way to improve the outcome of children who receive treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or other blood cancers. Results of the...Genetically modified rice in China benefits farmers' health, study finds
Farmers growing genetically modified rice in field trials in China report higher crop yields, reduced pesticide use and fewer pesticide-related health problems, according to a study by researchers in China and at Rutgers University and the University of California, Davis. "This paper studies two of the f...Genetically Modified Natural Killer Immune Cells Attack, Kill Leukemia Cells

Results of the...Modified collagen could yield important medical applications
Altered protein could help deliver drugs and shape the growth of engineered tissueCollagen often pops up in beauty products and supermodel lips. But by mating collagen with a molecular hitchhiker, materials scientists at Johns Hopkins hope to create some important medical advances. The researchers have found a simple new way to modify collagen, paving the way for better infection-fighting bandage...Genetically modified maize not found in southern Mexico
Contrary to what many scientists thought, genetically modified (GM) corn has not yet spread to native maize crops in southern Mexico. The finding surprised the researchers, said Allison Snow,...Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium - high glucose (DME) from Sigma-Aldrich

Description:...Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant, Modified from Calbiochem
Description:...Modified antibiotic may support fight cancer
According to recent experiments a molecule related to tetracycline can aid stop the spread of cancer cells. Researchers at the University of Iowa have been looking at a new drug called COL-3,// which is related to the well-known antibiotic tetracycline. In a series of experiments, they find that COL-3 acts upon the tissue surrounding a tumour, making that tumour less likely to spread throughout t...Producing Vaccines from genetically modified crops
The consortium, called Pharma-Planta, wants to produce vaccines and other treatments for major //diseases, such as HIV/Aids, rabies and TB and they hope to start clinical trials by the year 2009. The project's aim is to focus on areas that will be of greatest benefit to developing nations where they feel that access to most vaccines is very poor at the same time keeping in mind that human health...Malaria To Be Tackled By Genetically Modified Mosquitoes
London, Oct 11 In an important research development a genetically modified mosquito has been created that wipe out natural mosquito populations and save thousands of lives in malaria-stricken regions// of the world such as India and South Asia. These genetically modified mosquitoes could soon be released into the wild in an attempt to combat malaria that is currently responsible for t...Genetically modified rice faces strong protests in Asia
Farmers and different organizations from Asian countries are protesting against the introduction of genetically engineered rice in to Asia and they wanted to have ban on these genetically engineered rice//. The protests are collectively organized by 17 Asian organizations. Farmers health and agricultural sustainability civil societies are not happy with this genetically engineered crops...Genetically modified bacteria to combat HIV
In a breakthrough, which could eventually lead to a practical and cost effective new way to combat the HIV virus, scientists from the US National Cancer Institute have genetically modified bacteria living in the human body to produce chemicals that block HIV infection. // Most HIV transmission occurs on the surfaces of the gut and reproductive areas, which are normally coated with a l...Modified Freer Periosteal Elevator
