This test is performed on eggs fertilized through in vitro fertilization before they are even put in the mother’s uterus. Understanding genes in the developing human will help doctors understand the

The world is constantly changing and evolving. Humans have played a large role in these changes. We have come far since the time of man creating the wheel. One of the areas that humans have improved on the some of the years is medical technology. The life expectancy for the average human being is now eighty years old compared to back in the day where someone would be lucky if they made it to their mid thirties. Medical advancements have done more than just help humans live longer. In today society

Anti-cancer Drug Screening in Vitro Introduction: The incidences of cancer remain high despite advances in our understanding of cancer. Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out of control cell growth. Normal cells are constantly subject to signals that control whether the cell should divide‚ differentiate into another cell or die. Cancer cells develop a degree of independence from these signals‚ which results in uncontrolled growth and proliferation. If this proliferation is allowed

Hi guys! Today‚ we will be presenting on the topic of Designer Babies – babies that are created by genetic screening or engineering combined with in vitro fertilization‚ in order to ensure the absence or presence of a particular gene or characteristic. What are designer babies? You may ask. Is it similar to a comparism between normal bags you buy from BHG and designer LV bags? No! It is more like a Hermes bag‚ where we are able to design and customize our very own babies! We can select eye colour

The Physiological Implications A. Genetic Engineering Health risks of genetic engineering have sometimes been described in exaggerated‚ alarmist terms‚ implying that foods made from Genetically Engineered crops are inherently unsafe. It is also an exaggeration‚ however‚ to state that there are no health risks associated with GE. For one thing‚ not enough is known: research on the effects of specific genes has been limited—and tightly controlled by the industry. But we do know of ways in which

The microbe that causes leprosy‚ Mycobacterium leprae‚ is an acid fast organism difficult to grow in vitro. In the United States‚ the armadillo is the animal that is able to carry the disease and transmit it to humans. Manifestations of leprosy depend on the host immune response ranging from tuberculoid to lepromatous leprosy (multibacillary to paucibacillary)
