New biology

An examination of stem cell research that discusses different types of cells, therapeutic cloning, stem cell induction, medical applications, commercialization, ethical and legal issues, and other related topics.

Discusses the origin of life, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, the cell cycle, genes, multicellular creatures, and neurons, and presents overviews of related topics, including light microscopy, histology and histochemistry, and recombinant DNA technology.

Examines the origin, structure, behavior, taxonomy, and history of viruses, looks at viruses in the sea and in biomedical research, describes various viral diseases and pandemics, and explains what is being done to fight viral infections.

Presents an overview of the science of nuclear transfer, or animal cloning, discussing its historical development, the cloning of Dolly the sheep, the medical applications of nuclear transfer technology, and the ethical and legal debates over cloning.

Discusses genetic disorders, viruses, the Ashi De Silva and Jesse Gelsinger gene therapy trials, future prospects, and ethical and legal issues, and presents overviews of related topics, including eukaryote cells, the Human Genome Project, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency.

Discusses the origin of life, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, the cell cycle, genes, multicellular creatures, and neurons, and presents overviews of related topics, including light microscopy, histology and histochemistry, and recombinant DNA technology.

Discusses aging theories, age-related diseases, antiaging medicine, the history of gerontology, the search for longevity genes, and geriatrics, and presents overviews of related topics, including eukaryote cells, recombinant DNA, gene therapy, and the Human Genome Project.

Discusses common types of cancer, cancer cells, oncogenesis, cancer progression, therapies, cancer around the world, and clinical trials, and presents overviews of related topics, including eukaryote cells, recombinant DNA, gene therapy, matching tissues, and the Human Genome Project.

Discusses genetic disorders, viruses, the Ashi De Silva and Jesse Gelsinger gene therapy trials, future prospects, and ethical and legal issues, and presents overviews of related topics, including eukaryote cells, the Human Genome Project, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1), Alzheimer's disease, and Huntingdon's disease.

Discusses human stem cells, medical applications, commercialization of human stem cells, stem cell problems, and ethical and legal issues, and presents overviews of related topics, including eukaryote cells, recombinant DNA, gene therapy, the Belmont Report, the Gelsinger investigation, and clinical trials.
