Scientists from the John Innes Centre and The Sainsbury Laboratory today joined colleagues from across Europe in calling for an urgent rethink of EU legislation on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
Can science answer the “question of all questions”?
Future Meat Technologies is developing a distributive platform for the cost-efficient, GMO-free production of meat directly from animal cells, without the need to raise or harvest animals.
A biotech company developing cell and gene therapies for blood cancers and hematological disorders is partnering with a European company to develop genome-editing technology for genetic diseases.
The companies will use Novo Nordisk’s experience with hemophilia and bluebird’s TALENs-based genome
By adding just a few letters of DNA to the genomes of dairy cattle, a US startup company had devised a way to make sure the animals never grew troublesome horns.
Food and Drug Administration scientists had a closer look at the genome sequence of one of the edited animals, a bull named Buri, and discovered that its genome contains a stretch of bacterial DNA including a gene conferring antibiotic resistance.
Sustainability reaches an important market … Carlsberg has revealed two prototypes for its green fibre bottle. Both are made from sustainably sourced wood fibres and have an “inner barrier” allowing the bottle to hold beer. One uses a thin recycled PET polymer film barrier, while the other has a bio-based PEF polymer film barrier.
A gene therapy being developed to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) successfully and safely stopped the severe muscle deterioration associated with the rare, genetic disease in both small and large animal models.
Thousands of years ago, glaciers covered much of the planet. Oceans receded as water froze in massive sheets of ice blanketing the North American continent.
