...Harvard researcher who recently conducted experiments inducing bacteria to produce insulin--a major breakthrough in the field of recombinant DNA research--said yesterday that his research team will work toward developing techniques for isolating large quantities of the insulin...
Though surprisingly little is known about the spleen, a small organ located beneath the left rib cage, it has at least one important function: filtering bacteria and foreign material from the blood. That function makes the spleen particularly important in warding off serious bacterial infections and meningitis in children, who have not yet developed immunity to certain microorganisms. Yet doctors have long been puzzled by the fact that such infections, relatively common in children whose spleens have been removed in the treatment of cancer or blood disease, seldom show up in youngsters whose spleens have ruptured and then been removed...
...furor over recombinant DNA research stems from two considerations--its possible adverse impact on the environment and on health conditions, and its potential lucrativeness. Recombinant DNA experiments involve creating new combinations of genetic material by injecting a piece of DNA into bacteria, possibly giving them new characteristics. Environmentalist critics of recombiant DNA experiments fear inadvertent development of harmful bacteria strains that could not be controlled...
...writing in regards to an article which appeared in The Crimson on May 3 announcing the "discovery" that Limnoria has no bacteria in its digestive tract. Dixie Lee Ray pointed this out in a paper entitled "Nutritional Physiology of Limnoria" which appeared in the book "Marine Boring and Fouling Organisms" edited by Ray and published in 1959. Mark Plotkin Extension...
...animal may have important implications for the Medical area because researchers need animals with bacteria-free guts in order to study colonization of digestive tracts by micro-organisms...
