World’s First Monkey Pig Hybrids Developed By Chinese Scientists Written on 12/09/2019 Vinod Kumar kushwaha Monkey Pig Hybrids Researchers from China have successfully developed Monkey Pig hybrids as part of research into the growth of human organs for transplantation in animals. According to reports, the two chimera piglets died within a week of being born. Scientists reported that both were found to have DNA from macaque monkeys in their liver, spleen, heart, lung, & skin. They were bred from approximately 4,000 embryos, which were implanted into a sow using In-Vito Fertilization. A team of scientists from the State Key Laboratory of Stem Cell and Reproductive Biology in Beijing developed the  Monkey Pig Hybrids. They  genetically modified monkey cells to produce a fluorescent protein allowing the researchers to track the cells and descendant cells. These  modified cells  were injected into the pig embryos five days after fertilization....

  The Nobel Prize in Medicine 2019 – Awarded For Research on How Cells Manage Oxygen Written on 10/09/2019 Vinod kushwaha Nobel Prize in Medicine 2019 Awarded for Research on How Cells Manage Oxygen The  Nobel Assembly at Karolinska  Institutet, on Monday, has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for the year 2019, jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr., Gregg L. Semenza, and Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe for their studies and discoveries of how cells sense & adapt to oxygen availability. Their research work established the genetic mechanisms that allow cells to respond to changes in oxygen levels. The findings have implications for treating a variety of diseases, including cancer, anemia, heart attacks, and strokes. Animals need oxygen for converting their food into useful energy. The fundamental importance of oxygen in the living has been understood for centuries; Still how cells adapt to the changes in levels of oxygen has been unknown ...

Written on 08/29/2019 Vinod kushwaha IIT-Guwahati Researchers Develop Eco-friendly Lab-Grown Artificial Meat Eat meat without killing animals Here comes good news for all those non-vegetarians who are constantly looking out for meat from cruelty-free food sources or say without killing animals. Some researchers from the  Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G) have recently developed lab-grown artificial meat as an alternative to traditional meat, which is a great boon to save animals that are mostly killed for meat production. Apart from being environment-friendly and cruelty-free, lab-grown artificial meat such as the ones produced by the IIT researchers, who have devised a way to produce tissue-engineered meat is, also totally customizable since they are ‘bred’ using tissue culture. The development of lab-grown meat has been made by researchers of the biomaterial and tissue engineering laboratory who took different kinds of cells from animals through bi...
