Biogen Idec was formed in 2003 from the merger of two companies, Biogen Inc., founded in 1978, and IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation, founded in 1985. It is one of the largest biotechnology companies in the world. Biogen Idec covers the entire value

Disability such as cystic fibrosis is an inherited gene and it controls the salt and water in and out of your cells, it affects the lungs and digestive system, so a child may be affected while taking part in sport, they may get out of breath very easy and it could also affect the foods that they eat. Disability such as cerebral palsy affects the muscles in the body. Children have difficulties in controlling their muscles and movement as they develop. It may affect the way a child stands in an upright

genetic diseases that they do not want to pass down. In New Zealand, you can apply to have a screening of your embryos if you have had multiple miscarriages because of a genetic condition, a family history, or a child that has one of the following: Haemophilia, Cystic Fibrosis, ß-Thalassaemia, Huntington’s disease, Fragile-x, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy, BRCA gene or Aneuploidy (Downs Syndrome). 2. Pre-genetic Implantation Diagnosis is a socio-scientific issue, because it involves both

Genetic Engineering Should Not be Banned Genetic engineering is a hotly-debated topic. On the one hand, giant corporations, ambitious scientists and powerful politicians are pushing forward with projects they claim will benefit mankind, and on the other, public opinion, environmentalists and consumers' associations are concerned that these projects are insufficiently safeguarded and pose irreversible risks to life on this planet. In this paper I will set out the main issues in the debate

Muhammad Abdullah CULMANATING ACTIVITY GRANT PROPOSAL Scientific technology is very important in our world now. In order for Canada to remain at the top of the world, it has to continue its research on scientific technologies. Science has a huge importance for the defense and prosperity of a country. The world is advancing rapidly in terms of technologies and Canada has to keep up with the pace or it will be left behind. Other

Recombinant bacteria is a bacterium cell that has had its genome changed, by the alteration, or edition of a gene. Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been artificially prepared by cutting DNA into smaller fragments and joining fragments together, that would not normally be found together naturally- even fragments taken from different organisms.( Principles of Gene Manipulation sixth edition, S.B. Primrose, R.M. Twyman and R.W. Old ) DNA can be "cut" using the enzyme Restriction endonuclease, which recognises

In a burgeoning climate of autocracy, the Romanov dynasty was firmly established in the societal framework of early 20th-century Russia. Having been in varying degrees of absolute political control over an approximate time period of four hundred years, their eventual undoing marked a power shift polarising the imperial regime laid out by countless Tsars beforehand. Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia, is recognised to have a degree of personal responsibility for the downfall of the Romanovs,

The cardiovascular system is formed by the heart and the vasculature, a close system of vessels, which include arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins and lymph vessels. The heart is located in the mediastinum, about two-thirds from the body midline. Three layers form the heart. From the inside out: endocardium, myocardium and epicardium. The myocardium, the thickest of all, is formed by striated muscle to provide the heart with the contractibility necessary to pump the blood into the vasculature

HLTH 317 – Osteoarthritis Samuel McCaffrey 43671462 (Word Count=1508) Introduction Degenerative joint disease commonly known as Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disorder that occurs due to a process of wear and tear in joints. In healthy joints the ends of the bone are covered by cartilage preventing the bone from rubbing together and protected by a joint capsule, which produces synovial fluid. The process of OA results in wearing away of the cartilage, growth of osteophytes and joint capsule breakdown

1.Process Of Changes 2. Gene Therapy 3.Cystic Fibrosis 1. Process of Changes Change is described as the act or instance of making or becoming different. My theme involves how something can change like your perspective or mental state. To portray these changes through rusted metal as a medium, objects I pick up in the karoo, organic materials inviting nature to the table and pencil sketches usually on the objects I have chosen to work with and then I built up a sculpture with these objects
