A GMO Potato Is Approved, But Will Anyone Buy It?

Posted: Published on November 24th, 2014

Might a GMO potato really be a better potato than can win over opponents of genetic engineering and feed the French fry minions? Image: J.R. Simply. J.R. Simplot won federal approval for a genetically modified potato on Nov. 7, and although it is a major supplier of french fries to McDonald's , don't worry about some GMO spud showing up in your Happy Meal. The fast-food chain says it has no plans on adopting it anytime soon. But that might not be the case for long. Simplot says that because its new potato is made from genes derived from potatoes themselves and not bacteria or genes from other species, thus creating some sort of Frankenfood, it doesn't rise to the same level of concern activists would have over some crops, or when they thwarted Monsanto's effort to propagate a GMO potato in the 1990's. Back then, Monsanto got the FDA to approve its New Leaf potatoes that were resistant to disease and insects through the development of a synthetic version of the bacillus thuringiensis bacterium, or Bt. After initial acclaim, the biotech charged high premiums for its seed, which limited adoption, and then ultimately went nowhere when McDonald's and the … Continue reading →

New Stem Cell Treatment Found To Cure ‘Bubble Baby’ Disease

Posted: Published on November 24th, 2014

Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online A new stem cell gene therapy developed by researchers at UCLA is set to begin clinical trials early next year after the technique reportedly cured 18 children who were born without working immune systems due to a condition known as ADA-deficient Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) or Bubble Baby disease. The treatment was developed by Dr. Donald Kohn, a member of the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, and his colleagues, and according to the university, it is able to identify and correct faulty genes by using the DNA of the youngsters born with this life-threatening condition. Left untreated, ADA-deficient SCID is often fatal within the first year of a childs life, reports Peter M. Bracke for UCLA. However, after more than three decades of research, Dr. Kohns team managed to develop a gene therapy that can safely restore the immune systems of children with the disease by using their own cells and with no noticeable side effects. All of the children with SCID that I have treated in these stem cell clinical trials would have died in a year or less without this gene therapy, instead … Continue reading →

Dr. Michael Kettel of San Diego Fertility Center Gives An Inside Look at Freezing Eggs on NBC

Posted: Published on November 24th, 2014

San Diego, California (PRWEB) November 24, 2014 Dr. Michael Kettel, a leading fertility expert at the San Diego Fertility Center, recently appeared on NBC to discuss egg freezing as a viable and increasingly accessible fertility preservation option. Egg freezing has been trending in the news recently, with new company benefits at Facebook and Apple now covering this expensive procedure for women. [The companies] see it as a way to take care of the women who are on a career hot path. Says Dr. Kettel. Up until a few weeks ago, egg freezing was never covered by insurance or company healthcare benefits and required a significant financial investment from women and couples. But with the latest developments in benefit offerings for women and with many women delaying starting a family until their thirties things are starting to change. We see it all the time. Says Dr. Kettel. A week doesnt go by before a woman will come in and ask about their options. Egg freezing is a fairly simple process that is accessible to women of all childbearing ages, although younger women generally have higher success rates due to the age of their ovaries at the time of freezing. To prepare … Continue reading →
