La materia è intelligente. Solitamente pensiamo i materiali che ci circondano come semplici strumenti, passivi e incapaci di interagire con l’ambiente in modo complesso, ma a ben guardare non è affatto così. Numerosi materiali sono in grado di adattarsi agli stimoli che ricevono, di assemblarsi e ripararsi in autonomia e, in alcuni casi, di conservare una memoria del proprio passato.

ウイルス学者は、ウイルスを作り出すことができます。感染細胞から、ウイルスのタンパク質の設計図が書いてあるDNAをとってきて、それをプラスミドという大腸菌内の環状DNAに入れて増殖させるのです。

Scientific discoveries in the field of genomics just began about 50 years ago. These breakthroughs answered many questions about how we are built and live. The discoveries also proved the power and importance of the tiny chromosome.

Contemporary Issues: Science, Africa, and More attends to very sensitive and contemporary issues pertaining to biotechnology such as human cloning and genetic engineering. It also comprises such areas as affirmative action, one's right to abortion, one's right to sexual choice(s), questions relating to whether Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero or not, and other similar but controversial issues. In addition, there are topics included in Contemporary Issues relating to matters of ethnicity, culture, and development, in particular as they impact Africa.

Life on earth is facing unprecedented challenges from global warming, war, and mass extinctions. The plight of seeds is a less visible but no less fundamental threat to our survival. Seeds are at the heart of the planet's life-support systems. Their power to regenerate and adapt are essential to...

Our health care system is crippled by desperate efforts to prevent the inevitable. A third of the national Medicare budget - nearly $175 billion - is spent on the final year of life, and a third of that amount on the final month, often on expensive (and futile) treatments. Such efforts betray a fundamental flaw in how we think about healthcare: we squander resources on hopeless situations, instead of using them to actually improve health.

La vida, el misterio que subyace tras los seres vivos, se rige por principios tan hermosos como sencillos. Patrones que se repiten a distintas escalas, en lo grande y en lo pequeño, en la organización de las diminutas células que nos forman y de nuestro propio cuerpo; en las bacterias que fermentan el yogur, en las moscas de la fruta o en los elefantes. Y es que todos compartimos, además de la vida, una historia común. En los genomas, los libros de instrucciones de los seres vivos, han quedado registrados nuestro origen y la historia de la vida en la Tierra. La vida misma nos muestra ...

Die vielfach ausgezeichnete Biochemikerin Renée Schroeder über den Menschheitstraum als Motor der Wissenschaft. Wissen Sie, was ein Xenobot ist? Es ist der erste lebende Roboter, hergestellt aus embryonalen Stammzellen eines Frosches. Diese Frosch-Roboter sind nur eines der vielen, bis vor kurzem ungeahnten Ergebnisse der biotechnologischen Forschung. Die Entwicklung ist rasant, etwa in der Gentechnologie, in der Bioinformatik, oder in der synthetischen Biologie, ein junges Forschungsgebiet, das programmierbare Organismen mit neuen Eigenschaften schaffen will.

What is embryonic stem cell research? Why is it so controversial? What is its relationship to human cloning? Events are moving so fast and biotechnology seems so complicated that many of us don't have an informed opinion about issues that are remaking the human future before our very eyes.

¿Qué es un genoma? ¿Qué moléculas lo constituyen? ¿Cuál es su estructura? ¿Cuál es su función? ¿Cómo se secuencia? ¿Qué diferencias hay entre los genomas de diferentes especies? ¿Qué genomas se han secuenciado hasta ahora? ¿Por qué y para qué? ¿Qué hemos descubierto del genoma humano? ¿Qué nos depara el futuro? Estas y muchas otras preguntas, dudas, reticencias y precauciones son las que la autora, responsable del Laboratorio de Secuenciación Automática de DNA del Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas "Alberto Sols" (IIB) CSIC-UAM, y coordinadora de las jornadas ...

En un mundo donde la ciencia ha dejado de ser mera herramienta y se ha convertido en poder para redefinir la vida misma, surge una pregunta que atraviesa cada laboratorio, cada debate ético y cada decisión humana: ¿qué podemos y qué debemos hacer con la capacidad de reescribir nuestro propio código genético? EL CÓDIGO PROHIBIDO. Poder y límites para rediseñar la vida nos invita a recorrer los caminos fascinantes y peligrosos de la biotecnología contemporánea, explorando cómo la humanidad se enfrenta a su ambición más íntima: la posibilidad de crear, modificar y mejorar la ...

The ethical questions surrounding human cloning and stem cell research cannot be answered without deciding what rights a human embryo has, and that cannot be decided without first deciding what human rights are and where they come from. In this philosophical essay (updated from controversial but popular public talks to university student, professional and community groups in 2002-2003), these questions are approached and answered in the context of a secular, objective theory of ethics and rights. Because of the nature of rights, embryos have no rights: and legal enforcement of such "rights"...
