engineered

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed an easier and more effective method for inserting genes into eye cells that could greatly expand gene therapy to help restore sight to patients with blinding diseases ranging from inherited defects like retinitis pigmentosa to...

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...

Mice and monkeys don't develop diseases in the same way that humans do. Nevertheless, after medical researchers have studied human cells in a Petri dish, they have little choice but to move on to study mice and primates. This video shows blood pumping through an engineered microvessel stimulated...

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...

For the first time, US scientists have shown that HIV-fighting cells engineered from human stem cells can suppress the virus in living human tissue in mice. The team, from UCLA in Los Angeles, California, had already shown in principle that it was possible to create cells that seek out and...

The most poisonous substance on Earth - already used medically in small doses to treat certain nerve disorders and facial wrinkles - could be re-engineered for an expanded role in helping millions of people with rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, psoriasis and other diseases, scientists are...

Oracle unveiled the Oracle Exalytics Business Intelligence Machine, in-memory hardware and software system engineered to run analytics faster than ever, provide real-time visual analysis, and enable new types of analytic applications.

To me it seems more like a well engineered conspiracy than lunacy. #1- The government repeals the Glass Stengall act #2- The government prods Fannie and Freddie into the sub prime arena #3- The government gets rid of the uptick rule #4-The government removes capitalization requirements for...

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. Cloward and Piven were...
