Genetically Engineered Tobacco Plants Manufacture Antimalaria Drug
A line of genetically engineered tobacco plants has been developed that carry all the genes required to encode the entire biochemical pathway necessary for producing the potent, but expensive to produce, antimalarial drug artemisinin. More...02 Jan 2012
Disruption of Mitochondrial Enzyme Function Characterizes Some Cancers
Since mutations in the genome of cancer cells often force tumors to use metabolic pathways not found in normal cells, cancer researchers believe that drugs targeting these pathways will be able to destroy tumors with fewer adverse side effects. More...02 Jan 2012
Strict Limits Urged on Use of Chimpanzees in US Biomedical, Behavioral Research
US health officials have advised scientists that they should allow the use of chimpanzees as subjects in biomedical research only under stringent conditions, as chimpanzees are so closely related to humans and share similar behavioral characteristics. More...02 Jan 2012
