Disadvantages of genetically modified insulin?
Advantages * Cheaper to be made then by normal methods * the E.coli bacteria are friendly to the body * bacteria can be placed in yoghurt- 1-3 yoghurt's a day should be all you would need * bacteria can produce exact amount of insulin needed in response to the host's needs * no allergy problems - using pig insulin caused problems for people allergic to pigs Disadvantages * is still being tested with mice * yoghurt would need to be eaten regularly to replace bacteria
Can a winged scapula be treated?
can scapula winging be treated
How are bacterial and fungal infections treated?
They are treated with antibiotics. <-----------Fungal infections are NOT treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics only kill bacteria.
Can hadfield manganese steel castings be heat treated twice?
Of course, if this steel is heat treated correctly, may be treated as many times as needed.

treated means, the cell culture is treated with some agents/compounds/drugs/even antibiotic etc.
Which cannot be treated with a genetically engineered drug?
Diabetes
Ovarian cancer can be treated with the genetically engineered drug?
Genetically engineered Immunotherapy is an experimental drug for relapsed or resistant ovarian cancer and is still going through clinical trials.
What disease is treated by genetically engineered human insulin?
Type I diabetes that cannot be successfully treated with animal insulin.
What are the goals for human genetic engineering?
First and foremost, there is currently no known research anywhere in the world with the purpose of growing genetically engineered humans. There are discussions about the benefits of such technology, as this would allow us to eradicate genetically inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis and haemophilia. Genetically engineered human embryos could be used for research to understand how and why defects occur during development of a baby in the womb. Theoretically, it could allow modifying most biological traits of the human body. Some people consider this an advantage, but across the world it is most commonly considered unacceptable and/or undesirable. Genetically engineered human cells (as opposed to entire humans) are already in use to treat severe genetic blood diseases. For this purpose, haemopoietic stem cells are taken from the patient's bone marrow. They are then genetically modified to correct the mutations that cause the blood disease. Finally, the patient's bone marrow is eradicated and the treated haemopoietic stem cells are injected. These stem cells then restore the bone marrow to a healthy state. Similar technologies are being developed to cure other organ-specific genetic defects.
Are lab mice treated harshly?
It depends on the lab I imagine. Most universities probably feed their mice, give them names, etc. Companies likely won't bother and treat them badly to cut costs. It could also depend on the research: I would be happy to be a genetically engineered supermouse, but I wouldn't want to be a mouse used in spinal injury research!

What is murdoch syndrome?
An illness that affects clones that have been genetically engineered (don't get hyped up, I mean like test rats that had a cancer gene removed, I mean). It's when the body's modified parts have been changed so much they don't appear to be part of the host body anymore, and the entire body rejects itself. It can be treated with serious medication, and as long as the patient's kept on its meds, there's no change to life expectancy.
How can prevernt from mosquito?
Potential breeding sites can be either treated or eliminated altogether, you can also aerial spray
Can psorIasis patient donate blood?
Potential volunteer blood donors with a history of psoriasis are eligible for blood donation IF the lesions are not in area of venipuncture AND the donor has not been treated with Tegison. Potential donors treated with Soriatane are deferred for three (3) year following cessation of therapy. Potential donors treated with Tegison are permanently deferred.
Why should you buy organic seeds?
Conventional seeds tend to be preventatively treated with fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. They may have included genetically modified organisms. Neither of these tendencies is allowed in organic seeds. In Germany, organic seeds can be preventatively treated with low-energy electrons.
Presssure treated lumber 2 x 4?
Is good whenever there is the potential for water/rot/insect problems.
Why is Odysseus treated as an outsider upon his arrival home?
