Commercialization of novel biomarkers of male fertility in humans and farm animals
(2010-03)Each year, US infertility clinics treat 135,000 couples who fail to conceive naturally. Up to 40% of these infertility cases can be attributed to male infertility stemming from poor sperm quality. An additional 20% of ... -
Swine models of Human Conditions
(2010-03)Since the introduction of Dolly, the first cloned sheep, genetic engineering of livestock has advanced to the point that nearly any genetic modification appears feasible. Genes can be introduced, deleted or altered in ... -
Porcine induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSC) for expanding the use of swine in biomedical research
(2010-03)Our goal is to create porcine pluripotent stem cells, i.e. ones capable of differentiating into all cell types of the body that can expand the use of swine as a biomedical model for studying human disease. It is well ... -
Derivation and characterization of LIF and FGF2 dependent Porcine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [abstract]
(2010-02)Authentic embryonic stem cells (ESC) have probably never been derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pig, despite over 25 years of effort. Recently, several groups, including ours, have reported derivation of induced ... -
Swab Test Using ELISA Technique for Diagnosis of Brown Recluse Bites
(2010-03)Envenomations by the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, are a significant source of morbidity and occasional mortality in endemic regions of the United States, and misdiagnoses are common. A survey of physicians ... -
Cloning & Transgenic Swine for Medical and Agricultural Uses at MU
(2010-03)The pig is an important component of the world's food supply. As of December 1, 2009 the hog inventory in the United States of America was 65 million head. The United States is the world's third largest producer and second ... -
Genetically Engineered Swine Models to Study Diseases like Cystic Fibrosis
(2000)Swine have become important in biomedical research as they are excellent models for a variety of diseases including cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, cutaneous pharmacology, wound repair, cancer, diabetes, ophthalmology, ... -
High-throughput genomics and the Sword of Damocles
(2010-03)Next-generation sequencing and high-throughput assaying technologies have dichotomized entire research communities into those individuals who have rapidly evolved in response to the technological selection pressure and ...
