genetic conditions. The current on-going research is in the field of gene therapy‚ an experimental technique that uses genes to treat and replace the defective genes of an affected person. Instead of treating disease symptoms‚ this has the potential to correct the underlying cause (1). Besides its high costs and ethical concerns (therapy involving germ line treatment)‚ this technique also poses a considerable amount of risk. Thus‚ gene therapy is currently only being tested on the diseases for which

ELIE SAAB Lebanese designer Elie Saab has long been a leading name in haute couture in the Middle East‚ where his romantic‚ crystal-encrusted gowns attracted princesses to his Beirut atelier‚ opened in 1982 when he was just 18 years old. His ready-to-wear line‚ which launched in 1998 in Milan‚ heralds the same feminine aesthetic as his couture dresses‚ with brightly colored silks‚ chiffons‚ pearl beading‚ and embroidered lace. With their Middle Eastern detailing and European sensibility‚ Saab gowns

a fault in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on chromosome 7 at q31.2. For CF to be expressed‚ a faulty copy of the gene must be present at both alleles; autosomal recessive. Therefore both parents must be carriers of‚ or affected by the cystic fibrosis gene (fig. 1) for the gene to be passed on. If a person has one copy of the faulty allele (are heterozygous) they are carriers of the gene and can pass this allele on; if they possess two copies of the faulty allele

While gene therapy holds promise as a revolutionary approach to treating disease‚ ethical concerns over its use and ramifications have been expressed by scientists and lay people alike. For example‚ since much needs to be learned about how these genes actually work and their long-term effect‚ is it ethical to test these therapies on humans‚ where they could have a disastrous result? As with most clinical trials concerning new therapies‚ including many drugs‚ the patients participating in these studies

This MXE is a synthetic drug can be snorted or injected into the bloodstream. It has been reported that people who have tried this new drug have had out of body experiences. MXE is a legal drug with a high that can be deadly. There is not yet enough information on this new designer drug to give alarming statistics. Our society

W4Q1 Meiosis is the process by which cells divide and create living creatures. Without meiosis we cannot have the process of mitosis‚ which is the process by which cells of tissue are created for living creatures. When meiosis occurs 4 daughter cells are created‚ while only 2 are created in mitosis. With the creation of 2 daughter cells the new cells will be similar to the parent cell‚ but will have differences‚ as there more parent cells involved. When mitosis occurs the daughter cells will be

In 1968 he made a revolutionary discoverie. He discovered the type II restriction enzyme‚ witch had major impacts in 2 fields of science. Gene cloning‚ and DNA fragmentation. Gene cloning is what it sounds like; cloning genes. He essentially made a discovery that allowed the first gene to be cloned. The second field that was impacted by this discovery was DNA fragmentation. DNA fragmentation is most commonly used in testing men’s sperm to see how fertile they
