Surgeons transplant genetically modified pig liver into Chinese patient | Medical research
According to scientists who performed the groundbreaking procedure, genetically modified pig liver implanted in brain-dead patients appeared to function successfully in the body for 10 days. Surgery at a Chinese hospital last year is thought to indicate that the pig's liver was first implanted into a human. It is to increase the prospect of pig […]
Male mosquitoes to be genetically engineered to poison females with semen in Australian research | Health
In a new population control method developed by Australian researchers, venomous male mosquitoes poison females with their semen. In this method, males are genetically engineered to produce poisonous spider or sea anemone proteins, which are then injected into females during mating to shorten their lifespans. Macquarie University researchers are testing their “virulent male technology” in […]
