...genetically altering salmonella (the bacteria that cause food poisoning), scientists have rendered female mice allergic to sperm. The technique could lead to a birth-control "vaccine" for humans...
...foul, acidic, bitter, tooth-staining, heartburn-causing and chemically addictive." That applies to "Dota Blend" just as accurately as to Dunkin Donuts' 50-cent special. It is instructive to note that for decades, conventional wisdom had it that coffee caused ulcers. (In fact, the real culprit was H. pylori bacteria.) If coffee doesn't rot out your gut, it tastes like it should...
Thanks to the immune system's capacity for memory, when the individual encounters the virus or bacteria later on in their lives, their immune system can respond quickly and efficiently to prevent the disease...
Physicians use vaccines against viruses, such as the measles, polio, mumps, or rubella, against bacteria, such as typhoid and salmonella, and against bacterial toxins, such as pertussis, tetanus and diphtheria. Each type of antigen, however, requires its own strategy...
...does the Hall-Stillman experiment involve genetic engineering -- the cutting and splicing procedures by which DNA strands within the nuclei of cells are mixed and matched. In one kind of genetic engineering, scientists have inserted human genes into the DNA of bacteria in order to mass-produce insulin and other human proteins. They have also experimented with therapies that involve replacing genes in human patients who either lack those genes or whose genes are defective. The George Washington research required none of that. The cells were just copied with their genes intact -- a far simpler process. Simple enough, in fact...
