Biofuels from bacteria could greatly increase the efficiency of using them as an alternate energy source. spisio Wed, 20 Sep 2006 18:31:20 GMT http://biotech.blogs.ca/2006/09/13/help-wanted-looking-for-researchers-to-create-life/ Anthony C. Forster and George M. Church proposed that a living cell should be created entirely from simple molecules. Once more research is done; they plan to build a living system that only contains simple molecules and genes that are absolutely essential to life. Upon doing this, each part of it can be examined in detail not seen before. spisio Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:17:10 GMT http://biotech.blogs.ca/2006/08/17/scientists-find-possible-weakness-in-bird-flu/ Scientists from London’s National Institute of Medical Research announced on Wednesday that they have discovered a possible weakness in the avian bird flu that they plan to exploit in order to create a treatment. spisio Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:16:36 GMT http://biotech.blogs.ca/2006/09/26/yet-another-attempt-towards-ethical-stem-cells/ In a hope to ease ethical concerns, scientists have created a stem cell line from embryos that have stopped dividing naturally. These embryos have died of natural causes, but still have living cells that can be used to create stem cells. spisio Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:58:03 GMT
