  1. 11. Gene expression analysis of fibroblast growth factor in a rat model of human endometrial cancer

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Vipul Chakole; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGF/FGFR) signaling has a significant role in normal organ development, like vascular and skeletal development. The dysregulation of the fibroblast growth receptor signaling occursdue to genetic modification or over expression of the receptor. This has been observed in different carcinomas [34,35]. READ MORE

    Abstract : Under lång tid betraktades virus enbart som ett hot mot djur och människor med stor risk att åsamka skada. Framgångar i molekylär virologi kom att bredda den uppfattningen och visa att den virala infektionsvägen var användbar för terapeutiska syften. READ MORE

  5. 14. Are Restriction Enzymes Recognition Sites Underrepresented in the Organisms That Host Them?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Dina Gamaleldin Mansour Aly; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The restriction modification enzyme system is a vital bacterial defense system against invading phages. Restriction modification system consists of a restriction enzyme and a methyltransferase enzyme that work in a complementary fashion to cut foreign DNA and at the same time methylates and protects host DNA.

  6. 15. The Ethics of CRISPR : Using Human Germline Gene Modification to Prevent Genetic Disease

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Centrum för tillämpad etik

    Author : Austen Yeager; [2016]
    Keywords : CRISPR; Human Germline; Gene Modification; Ethics; Genetic Disease;

    Abstract : With the discovery and development of CRISPR, the technology that might allow us to modify the human germline is at our fingertips, and, consequently, serious practical and ethical consideration is warranted. In the following paper, I examine the ethics of using CRISPR in this way and argue that modifying the human germline for the purpose of preventing serious genetic disease is, in principle, ethically acceptable and ought to be allowed.
