  • In debating the pros and cons of this new and revolutionary science, director Harriet Power's production is profoundly involving. The FDA official argues that [Jonas Tuttle]' scientific breakthrough will result in a caste system in which the genetically enhanced rule over the non-enhanced. Jonas retorts that the time will soon come when "choosing not to manipulate your child's genes will be considered a form of child abuse. These are only the extremes. [Seth Rozin] takes the investigation further, questioning the influence parents should have on their child's life, identity, behavior, free will, natural selection and intelligence. It's provocative stuff, and audiences find themselves vacillating between repulsion at Jonas' meddling and understanding of the couple's desire to have a hea...

  • On May 3, 2011, under authority of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 111 and 112, the EPA proposed both national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) from coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) and standards of performance for fossil-fuel-fired electric utility, industrial-commercial- institutional, and small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units (76 FR 24976). After consideration of public comments, the EPA is finalizing these rules in this action. Pursuant to CAA section 111, the EPA is revising standards of performance in response to a voluntary remand of a final rule. Specifically, we are amending new source performance standards (NSPS) after analysis of the public comments we received. We are also finalizing several mi...

  • While recombinant methods such as phage display require fancier footwork, if you're working with an antigen that is highly toxic or nonimmunogenic, such as some self-tumor or virus antigens, recombinant techniques may be the way to go, according to Louis Weiner at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. The phage infects Escherichia coli, in which the phage single-stranded DNA is replicated and phage particles are assembled and secreted into the culture without bursting the bacterial cell. Baculovirus has become the most popular of insect cell-expression systems, because it produces large amounts of active proteins; early reports indicated 1-500 mg of recombinant protein per liter of infected insect cells.2 The antibody gene is inserted downstream of a polyhedron promoter, enabling t...
