Nobel Prize for Chemistry given to 2 scientists for developing genome editing method
Researchers need to modify genes in cells if they are to find out about life’s inner workings. This used to be time-consuming, difficult and sometimes impossible work. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors, it is now possible to change the code of life over the course of a few weeks. Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna have discovered one of gene technology’s sharpest tools: the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Using these, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. This...

A little more than one year ago, BHI Therapeutic Sciences Jamaica (BHI Jamaica), located in Montego Bay opened its doors and welcomed its first stem cell therapy patients. Since then, more than 50 patients have participated in investigational stem cell research. Brian Mehling, MD said: “Cellular medicine is in high demand and stem cells are being studied for a wide range of conditions. Stem cells are essentially “blank slate” cells that possess the remarkable potential to differentiate to any one of the billions of cells...
