Benefits and Risks of Biotechnology

Posted: Published on March 25th, 2015

There are numerous discussions about the development and use of modern biotechnology, especially about the safety of genetically modified foods. Benefits for human health, as well as risks can be divided into four categories: 1. Benefits: - Increased food safety - Enhanced nutritional composition of foods - Food with even more health benefits - Reduction of certain chronic diseases related to diet By the application of genetic engineering, organoleptic properties and expiration date of certain grains were able to improve. Delaying the rotting process of fruit and vegetables provides better quality, taste, color and texture. With the help of genetic engineering it is possible to create foods with greater amount of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Also, by increasing crop yields deforestation is prevented, and, the most important for the developing countries, economic development is accelerated. For developing countries, particularly useful is growing beans resistant pathogens, virus-resistant papaya, cotton, and rice enriched with vitamin A. The production of certain vaccines for oral use is also important, which would be cheaper, easier to store and less stressful to use than the previous ones, and would be used for prevention of diarrhea, cholera and hepatitis B. On the other hand, for many researchers, … Continue reading →

American Association of Anatomists awards Young Investigators

Posted: Published on March 25th, 2015

Transformative research in the field of cell biology, neuroanatomy, and anatomical science BETHESDA, MD (March, 24, 2015) - The American Association of Anatomists (AAA) is honored to announce the 2015 Young Investigator Award winners. All awards will be presented during the Closing Awards Ceremony at AAA's 2015 annual meeting at Experimental Biology (EB) in Boston, MA. The ceremony is being held at The Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel on Tuesday, March 31st, 2015, at 8pm. Young Investigator awards recognize investigators in the early stages of their careers who have made important contributions to biomedical science through their research in cell/molecular biology, comparative neuroanatomy, developmental biology, or the morphological sciences. The 2015 Young Investigator Award winners are: R.R. Bensley Award in Cell Biology Bungo Akiyoshi, Ph.D., of the University of Oxford, will be honored for his early contributions to the field of anatomy through discovery, ingenuity and publication in the field of cell biology. He will present a lecture, "Discovery of Unconventional Kinetochores in Kinetoplastids," on Sunday, March, 29th at EB. Dr. Akiyoshi's research focuses on kinetochores (the macromolecular protein complex that segregates chromosomes). Though widely assumed that eukaryotes utilize a conserved set of proteins to build kinetochores, his research revealed that … Continue reading →

Robotic germ equipped with graphene quantum dots

Posted: Published on March 25th, 2015

March 25, 2015 These bacteria are NERDS. (Credit: Thinkstock) Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com @BednarChuck Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago have created a robotic germ by placing a humidity sensor on a bacterial spore. This is what they are calling the first-ever example of nanoscale bioengineering involving these minute, one-celled reproductive units. Here, the spore reacts actively to humidity; and the reaction is translated to an electronic response from the interfaced graphene quantum dots. (Credit: Berry Research Laboratory at UIC) The research is the latest entry in the first generation of bio-electromechanical devices designed to combine living organism with nonliving technology to conduct research and solve a variety of different problems by using miniature machines too small for the naked eye to see. [STORY: 'Warhead' molecule hunts down deadly bacteria] The UIC researchers, who described their work in a recent issue of the journal Scientific Reports, believe that their discovery could ultimately lead to the evolution of next-generation bio-derived microarchitectures, probes for cellular/biochemical processes, biomicrorobotic-mechanisms, and membranes for micromechanical actuation. NERD alert! Their nanobot, the Nano-Electro-Robotic Device (NERD), and lead investigator/UIC associate professor of chemical engineering Vikas Berry explained that he and his colleagues created it by taking … Continue reading →
