Embryonic Stem Cell Research Embryonic stem cell research has been a topic that has been debated for some time but the benefits of stem cells deserves a second look. Many may be unsure about how research is performed with the stem cells and how we acquire the embryonic stem cells. I believe that after providing some educational information on this, there may be a change in opinion on this First, we need to understand what a stem cell is. A stem cell is a cell that divides via mitosis and

DNA Technology BIO/240 May 6, 2013 DNA Technology INTRO – LEE DNA Technology: Cloning, Gene Therapy, and Stem Cell Research DNA technology encompasses a wide variety of applications and because of the duplicating nature of DNA, it is easy to see how humans could benefit from its manipulation. One such technology is cloning. Cloning technology comes in three forms: recombinant DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Cloning Recombinant DNA cloning consists of transferring

Genetic engineering (GE) refers to the technique of modification or manipulation of genes (the biological material or chemical blue print that determines a living organism’s traits) from one organism to another thus giving bacteria, plants, and animals, new features. The technique of selecting the best seed or the best traits of plants has been around for centuries. Humans have learned to graft (fuse) and hybridize (cross breed) plants, creating dwarfs and other useful forms since at least 1000 B

experienced the benefits of biotechnology. Biotechnology is the process of using living organisms to make products that benefit human such as wine and bread. It does not only benefit our daily foods, but our sciences and other aspects also. As a result, this essay will describe how other aspects benefit human, how the biotechnology was built and created many jobs for people. There are several different types of biotechnology that benefit human. First, microbial biotechnology is the process of using

Biotechnology Product Investigation Part A Biotechnology drug: Bevacizumab Bevacizumab is a drug that acts primarily as an anti-angiogenesis inhibitor, which means its inhibits blood vessel growth. The drug mainly targets a cell protein formed by cancer called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) which stimulates blood vessel growth. Cancer tumors release a large amount of VEGF which causes new nearby blood vessels to sprout, hence further feeds the cancer tumor with nutrients. These blood
