It is an application of nano technology. Nanomicelles are ultramicroscopic globular structures which can be used as drug delivery system. They are capable of delivering poorly water-soluble drugs as well as the protection of drug molecules. These nanomicelles are extremely cost-effective and can establish itself as a next-generation chemotherapeutic system.
Mock Egg: It has been developed from very simple farm based crop proteins, which not only looks and tastes like an egg but is also very close in nutritional profile to poultry eggs. The development of the mock egg meets the protein needs of the diet-specific, health conscious, vegan and vegetarian people. Developed by a …
Genome Sequencing: Genome refers to an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information required to build and maintain that organism. Genome sequencing refers to figuring out the order of the DNA nucleotides, or bases, in a genome. Genome editing: It is a type of genetic …
GalSafe Pigs: These are domestic pigs whose genome has been edited and will be used for food and human therapeutics purpose. US Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has approved a first-of-its-kind intentional genomic alteration(IGA) in a line of domestic pigs referred to as GalSafe pigs. What is intentional genomic alteration in animals? It means making specific changes …
Stem Cell: Stem cells are special cells that can make copies of themselves and change into the many different kinds of cells that the body needs. They have two unique properties that enable them to do this: They can divide over and over again to produce new cells. As they divide, they can change into the other types of …
It is a Genetically Modified Mustard DMH = Dhara Mustard Hybrid It is herbicide tolerant mustard Developed by the Centre for Genetic Manipulation of Crop Plants of Delhi University It was created by using “barnase/barstar” technology for genetic modification by adding genes from soil bacterium that makes mustard self-pollinating plant. DMH -11 contains three …
Crispr/Cas9 is related to genome editing. (Genome: Complete DNA sequence) CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats In simple terms, a DNA sequence is cut at a particular spot and then with help of a guide RNA (gRNA) that place is re-made with desired base pairing. This way genes can be altered. It allows …
What is bioremediation? Bioremediation is the technology that uses microorganism metabolism to remove pollutants. It uses relatively low cost, low-technology techniques, which generally have a high public acceptance and can often be carried out on site. Bioremediation is a natural process that involves the use of biological entities to neutralize the contaminated site. This technology …
