Mengniu's model farm just outside of Hohhot is billed as the United Nations of dairy farms. Although, farm hardly seems like the right term for this high tech and innovative showcase. The nearly 600 hectare farm has capacity for 10,000 cows, all selectively bred in vitro for high milk producing genetics. Surrounding fields provide cattle with forage from 12 different countries. The dairy production facilities integrate cutting-edge automation technology, much of it from technology transfer from Mengniu's Australien partners.Mengniu was established in 1999 by Niu Gusheng, former employee of rival Yili Dairy. At only 9 years old and already with 30,000 employees and 2B USD in annual revenues, Mengniu has grown through great management and effecient operations, all evident at its showcase farm.This video shows the beginning and end of the milk production process. Notice how few people are required for production.http://beijingtaotie.blogspot.com/

From Washington - The FDA has approved a new, noninvasive test for heart transplant rejection. The test, called AlloMap, analyzes genetic information contained in white blood cells to determine whether a patient's body is rejecting a transplanted heart. Previously, a biopsy had to be performed to check for signs of rejection, which required sending a probe through a vein to remove a small amount of heart tissue, which was then analyzed by a pathologist.From Boston - According to research in the journal Nature, scientists from Harvard have discovered a way to convert pancreas cells into insulin producing cells. The researchers injected a cocktail of proteins into the bodies of diabetic mice, which activated dormant genes that commanded the pancreas cells to transform. The researchers note that this approach could lead to treatments for numerous conditions, such as ALS and heart attack.And finally, back to Washington - According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers have identified a brain chemical that may control appetite and obesity. In a study of 33 people, those who were missing a copy of the gene that controls BDNF, or brain-derived neurotrophic factor, were obese by the age of 10 with a tendency to overeat. The researchers suggest that this finding may lead to the development of drugs that could help certain obese people that have not been able to lose weight by other means.For Insidermedicine in 60, I'm Allison Chow from Queen's University.

I should have two children; one of them would be turning 17 this year, the other should be 11 years old. Both the kids would have been striking; their mothers were olive-skinned, long-limbed and brunette, with more than enough natural beauty to dilute the genetics of my rough head. But I'm never going to find out.

Their discovery contradicts the prevailing theory that aging is a buildup of tissue damage akin to rust, and implies science might eventually be able to halt or even reverse the ravages of age."We were really surprised," said Stuart Kim, PhD, Stanford professor of developmental biology and of genetics, who is the senior author of the research.

There are so many events in our lives that are possible triggers of depression. Job loss, financial problems, arguments with loved ones, death, illness and many many more. Some of us may be depressed due to genetics and chemical imbalance but these triggering events increase our levels of depression, sometimes to the point of immobilizing us f

Energy problem? Why not genetically alter bacteria to have them provide ‘renewable petroleum’. Crude oil is only a few molecular stages removed from the acids normally excreted by yeast or E. Coli during fermentation, it does not take much fiddling to get the desired result. Will we soon be driving on bacteria shit?
