Berkeley Trains "Harmless" Viruses to Harvest Human Kinetic Energy
Viruses act as tiny piezoelectric generators Viruses, tiny chunks of protein and nucleic acid, have long plagued mankind and its evolutionary ancestors before it. But thanks to the wonders of modern genetic engineering, researchers believe they have finally been able to instill a beneficial purpose in these deadly pests. Continue reading
Paradigm-shifting publishing format for scientific research
Public release date: 14-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Sophie Mohin smohin@liebertpub.com Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News New Rochelle, NY, May 7, 2012 In direct contrast to the increasingly cumbersome and frustrating current model for authoring, editing, reviewing, and publishing scientific literature, Kondziolka et al. have developed an interactive knowledge network, called World Science, that will radically change how scientific knowledge is written, published, and shared.

Unclean Hands at the Gill Tract?
The battle over the future of Albany’s Gill Tract has tapped into multiple, deep-seated conflicts that perennially dominate Bay Area politics, from land use and development to food ethics. But in one area, the roots of disagreement are potentially very deep: biotechnology and its uses. Genetic engineering has been a topic of intense debate since its emergence in the early 1970s when scientists developed methods to cut and paste fragments of DNA, creating genetically modified organisms GMOs Continue reading
Cutting-edge device controls acute inflammation
Public release date: 14-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Sophie Mohin smohin@liebertpub.com Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News New Rochelle, NY, May 7, 2012The body’s natural inflammatory response is an essential reaction to injury and infection.

Genetic packing: Successful stem cell differentiation requires DNA compaction, study finds
Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of sections of wild-type (top row) and H1 triple-knockout (bottom row) embryoid bodies. After 14 days in rotary suspension culture, the wild-type embryoid bodies showed more differentiated morphologies with cysts forming (black arrows) and the knockout embryoid bodies failed to form cavities (far right).

State's seed diversity is under threat, say activists
The Southern Action on Genetic Engineering (SAGE)-Karnataka, which undertook a jatha to highlight the threat to farmers’ seeds by corporate seed companies, will conclude its awareness campaign by holding a State-level Seed Savers’ convention in Bangalore on May 20 and 21. The two-day convention, which will be held at the NGO Hall, Cubbon Park, will hold deliberations on the threat to Karnataka’s seed sovereignty and highlight the State’s seed diversity Continue reading
Now *This* Is a Cell Phone: Using Radio Waves to Control Specific Genes in Mice | 80beats
With some clever genetic engineering but without ever touching a cell or an animal, scientist can remotely control cells using ultrasound, light,and, now, also radio waves. The electromagnetic waves can be used to selectivelyheat up parts of cells and activate a gene to make insulin in mice, according to a recent study published in Science. But why care about radio waves if we have light and ultrasound?Radio waves have a couple distinct advantages over existing techniques. Continue reading
Can new diagnostic approaches help assess brain function in unconscious, brain-injured patients?
Public release date: 9-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Vicki Cohn vcohn@liebertpub.com 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News New Rochelle, NY, May 9, 2012Disorders of consciousness such as coma or a vegetative state caused by severe brain injury are poorly understood and their diagnosis has relied mainly on patient responses and measures of brain activity. However, new functional and imaging-based diagnostic tests that measure communication and signaling between different brain regions may provide valuable information about the potential for consciousness in patients unable to communicate. These innovative approaches are described and compared in a Review article in the groundbreaking neuroscience journal Brain Connectivity, a bimonthly peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers.

Autumn-sown sugar beet crops could be included in UK rotations in the future, but only through the development of bolting-resistant varieties using genetic engineering. A recent British Sugar and Farmers Weekly study tour to Spain visited autumn-sown beet situated in the south of the country, and despite the milder climate being less conducive to bolting, it begs the question: could it work in the UK? Spain currently grows in excess of 30,000ha of sugar beet, of which about 7,600ha is established in the autumn in the southern region of Andalucia. Continue reading

CAM therapy combined with conventional medical care may improve treatment of lower back pain
Public release date: 24-Apr-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Vicki Cohn vcohn@liebertpub.com 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News New Rochelle, NY, April 23, 2012 Nearly 8 of 10 Americans will experience lower back pain at some time in their lives. Persistent low back pain is a common, incapacitating, costly, and difficult to treat condition. Many patients might benefit significantly from an individualized, multidisciplinary, team-based model of care that includes access to licensed complementary care practitioners (e.g., chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists) in addition to conventional care providers, as demonstrated in a study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc Continue reading
