Abstract Multiple sclerosis and gut microbiota: Lachnospiraceae from the ileum of MS twins trigger MS-like disease in germfree transgenic mice—An unbiased functional study We developed a two-tiered ...

Higher levels of a type of bacteria called Lachnospiraceae in the gut may be a key risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS), per a study.

Cyclotides are unique cyclic mini proteins derived from plants which are recognized for the distinctive cyclic cystine knot (CCK) structure and the cyclized backbone. To date, more than 760 sequences ...

Yes, according to Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, which uses transgenic silkworms to produce lines of recombinant spider silk. The company plans to produce up to 10 metric tons of spider silk in 2025.

Exploiting human immune repertoire transgenic mice for protective monoclonal antibodies against antimicrobial resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038 ...

In the approach taken by the Cambridge team, however, transgenic mice were exposed to the outer membrane of A. baumannii bacteria, triggering an immune response.

Now, a new study proposes using transgenic cows to create human insulin in their milk, a process that's much more efficient than the current, transgenic yeast/bacteria method.

Using the upper dose of ten units, based on Wheeler’s calculations, a liter of transgenic cow milk would provide me with enough insulin to cover 2,881 lunches – very nearly eight years’ worth.
