In one of the first successful attempts at genetically engineering mosquitoes, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have altered the way the insects respond to odors, including the smell of humans and the insect repellant DEET. The research not only demonstrates that mosquitoes can...
Genetically modified foods are everywhere, especially in the United States. The potentially negative effects that may come from consuming these altered foods have raised concerns among many people regarding whether or not manufacturers should have to label GMOs. In light of this standoff between...
...bulkup through weightlifting? I mean, is it highly necessary for the ectomorph men to take protein or other types of supplement just to gain adequate muscle mass? Is just weightlifting not enough?
nutrition had an effect? In their childhood? My daughter is 2 her predicted height is 5'3 because her dad is short and I am 5'8 can she be around 5'7 if she does a lot of exercises and gets proper nutrition until the age of 21 ? Now I know predicted height is just a prediction of average , a...

Just when we were worried that genetically engineered fruits and vegetables weren't enough "fakeness" in our diets, the FDA may be allowing us to start eating genetically engineered salmon--appropriately nicknamed "frankenfish." The worst part? It won't be labeled so we'll never know that we're...
Scientists have observed the neurological mechanism behind temperature-dependent - febrile - seizures by genetically engineering fruit flies to harbor a mutation analogous to one that causes epileptic seizures in people. In addition to contributing the insight on epilepsy, their new study also...
On 19 September 2012, Gilles-Eric Seralini and his colleagues published a sensational study which, in his opinion, gave clear indications that genetically modified crops and Roundup are dangerous to health. Media across the world picked up on this report and published disturbing photos of rats...
New research published Online First in The Lancet suggests that a high proportion of severe intellectual disability results from genetic causes that are not inherited. These findings are good news for parents, indicating a low risk of passing on the disorder to further children. Intellectual...

Expanding on previous research providing proof-of-principal that human stem cells can be genetically engineered into HIV-fighting cells, a team of UCLA researchers have now demonstrated that these cells can actually attack HIV-infected cells in a living organism. The study, published in the...
In a cancer treatment breakthrough 20 years in the making, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center and Perelman School of Medicine have shown sustained remissions of up to a year among a small group of advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients treated...
Sigma Life Science, the innovative biological products and services research business of Sigma-Aldrich® (Nasdaq: SIAL), announced the expansion of its CompoZr® Oncology Disease Model portfolio with the release of the first in its collection of breast cancer-specific knockout and knockin cell...
i have been seeing on youtube that a lot of cats found in japanese households are genetically altered to look cute and all. generally, is it healthy? how long do these cats live?

I mean if people consume foods that have chemicals that make things grow faster and bigger what will happen to us the consumers?
I am not a scientist so I would appreciate gaining knowledge about the relationship (if any) between obesity and GMOs.
The human risk of developing both Alzheimer's disease and heart attack is genetically linked, leading the way to a genetic test earlier on in life, researchers from the University of Bologna wrote in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. In fact, the authors claim the genetic test is already...
Certain bacteria that inhabit the intestine provide the environmental trigger that initiates and perpetuates chronic intestinal inflammation in individuals who are genetically susceptible to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a study led by Harvard School of Public Health researchers has found...
There is no malaria vaccine available today. Malaria sickens almost a quarter of a billion people each year and kills a child every 30 seconds. That could be changing: researchers at The Rockefeller University have genetically transformed the yellow fever vaccine to prime the immune system to...
