In the future, Mitalipov anticipates it will be possible to produce a stem cell line from each donated egg.
Even if he can make either kind of stem cell produce insulin, it would at first only help a minority of diabetics, Melton says.
This is enough to produce a completely different sequence of genetic chunks - and results in the cell beginning to produce proteins that the virus can use to reproduce itself.
The second is hydrogen, which is suitable for cooking or for powering a fuel cell to produce electricity.
Another way to fly farther is to swap the batteries for hydrogen and use that in a fuel cell to produce electricity.
The most futuristic product is a tiny fuel cell to produce power for use in portable applications, from hedge trimmers to mobile telephones.
When a clock gene is switched on, it directs the cell to produce proteins, which eventually trigger a signal that switches the gene off.
This is a highly sensitive business, the number of companies around the world that have the technology to produce this kind of cell is very limited and by us going out on the BBC and explaining where our source is is equivalent to commercial suicide.
Craig Venter, who mapped the genome back in 1995, talked about his latest project: ushering in the "Jurassic Park" era of combinatorial genomics, where scientists will create life by typing out DNA. He predicts his team will be able to produce a single-cell eurkaryote--and eventually gasoline--in the lab from cellular building blocks within ten years.
The idea was to produce silicon for things like cell phones and those big boxes in Telco datacenters.
This can then be used to produce electricity using a fuel cell.
The so-called SLIVER cell technology will produce electric power from sunlight for operating electronic devices improving tactical awareness in close combat settings, replacing the need for heavy, burdensome batteries.
That has led to concerns that the birds used to make the eggs themselves could succumb to bird flu. (The companies emphasize that the chickens are kept under extremely secure conditions.) There is research going on to use dog, monkey or human cell cultures to produce flu shots, but such production is five to ten years away.
Children with the disease have a genetic mutation that causes them to produce the protein progerin, which blocks normal cell function.
The introduction of the whipworm appears to spur the body to produce more of a different type of helpful immune cell T2 helper cytokines as a defense against the worms.
WSJ: In a Squeaky-Clean World, a Worm Might Help Fight Disease
In 2002 MIT professors started a not-for-profit called BioBricks that has collected 2, 000 biological components, including gene sequences that sense light, produce light, send messages between cells and switch cell functions on and off.
Both said embryonic stem-cell research is morally objectionable and unlikely to produce promised treatments or cures.
Entrepreneurs and companies will take raw info, combine it with other raw data to produce useful information, and get it to farmers on cell phones, in publications and online.
FORBES: Can Technology Help Farmers Adapt to Climate Change?
Neodymium is a rare earth metal used extensively to produce permanent magnets found in everything from computer hard disks and cell phones to wind turbines and cars.
According to Dr Rattan, such interventions improve the function of a cell over time, and in doing so, may produce clinical benefits such as protection against neurodegenerative diseases.
Bacteria oxidize the organic matter and, in the process, produce electrons that run from the anode to the cathode within the fuel cell, creating an electrical current.
The host cell has no idea that its genetic code (which it generally needs to produce new, healthy cells) has been hijacked, for a long time at least, until the code has been copied and read to reproduce the virus many, many times by the host cell.
FORBES: Progress in Drug Therapy Marks the 25th Anniversary of World AIDS Day
Both produce handsets but also the basic telecoms infrastructure that's so essential in the age of cell phones and the Internet.
Her research will produce a unique, robust platform that allows for the first time high sensitivity detection of biomarkers without cell manipulation, with high temporal resolution, and for long continuous periods of time.
Zhang lead a Virginia Tech team that developed a way to produce large quantities of hydrogen from xylose, an abundant simple sugar that makes up 30 percent of the cell walls of plants.
FORBES: Could Hydrogen Breakthrough Revive The Fuel-Cell Car?
Canadian inventor Louis Michaud has created the Atmospheric Vortex Engine, which harnesses the energy of tornados to produce clean energy, and energy companies Dominion and FuelCell Energy Inc. announced plans to build the largest fuel cell power plant in North America.
