Abstract Schizophrenia, as a severe mental illness, the number of patients is far beyond imagination. Although its researches have gradually shifted from complete psychological-focused to the neurochemical level, the studies on treatments have not made much progression. In recent years, with the deepening of understanding of long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs), the co-expression pattern and the important roles of some dysregulated lncRNAs, such as HAR1F and DGCR5, in the development of schizophrenia have been revealed. Two potential treatments that target lncRNAs...

Genetically modified soy has become increasingly popular among food distributors all over the world. In fact, soy is the most genetically modified product on the planet, causing most soybeans we purchase and consume to be genetically modified organisms. These legumes are mainly cultivated as they are high in protein and oils. Since soy is a popular food item, they have been genetically modified to withstand herbicides, allowing farmers to obtain more crops, sometimes two per year which will, in turn,...

GMOs have changed the production of crop with all of the benefits they have added throughout the development. They have not only helped farmers produce more crops, but they have also helped the world over come major issues and still continue. Climate change will start to have major effects on crop production if there is not GMOs developed before changes arise. A stress resistant GMO will need to be developed that can adapt to major climate changes and a plan...

Genetic alteration of livestock proves useful to human power by economic and efficient production of important pharmaceutical proteins and to study human diseases. The creation of transgenic animals has resulted in the additional use of laboratory animal such as mice in its place of large size animals and has decreased the number of animals used in experiment interrelated to the development of disease models. Since transgenic technology has great potential in many fields including livestock, medicine and industry. Several methods...

Genetically modified foods (GMFs) are foods that have been deliberately modified in order to create healthier and more beneficial crops for both the farmers and the society. The purpose of this report is to draw a justified conclusion about whether we should continue to produce genetically altered foods, focusing particularly on corn. Both the benefits and issues associated with this transgenic technology will be considered as well as the past, present and future of this specific technology. Without the utilization...

Genetically modified food might be everywhere in our supermarkets and restaurants. Most of us probably have no idea how much of it weâre eating â or how much itâs affecting our health. In the past two decades, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have completely infiltrated farm fields, grocery stores and kitchens â so much so that most people canât say with any certainty how many GMOs they actually consume daily. If you eat corn chips, cook with canola oil, drink soymilk,...

In my 20 years of living, I always thought of why God made possible that humans and animals able to communicate with one another and what is the hidden purpose of God? Why humans, plants and animals are comparable in other ways and what is the purpose of existence of one another? The answer was revealed and it was a genetic modification organism. A genetic modification organism (GMO) is an organism or microorganism whose genetic material has been altered by...

Unlabeled. Unassuming. Untested (‘Genetically Modified Foods’). Whatâs the truth about genetically modified organisms (GMOs)? Genetically engineered foods have affected the economic and agricultural landscape for the worst. A process which refers to the unnatural transferring of foreign genetic material (DNA) from one organism to another has many concerns. If continued, the future withholds crippling ecosystems, rising superbugs, and declining human health. The truth of these âFrankenfoodsâ will soon be exposed to the public. Little do Americans know, nearly 75% of...

Genetically engineered organisms could have a massive impact on humans. They can do almost anything. They could solve thousands of problems that plague the human race. Genetically modified organisms will benefit the human race in innumerable ways. They will likely be the cure for cancer, an inevitable food crisis, and the organ crisis. They can produce insulin and will make transplants more available and much easier. Genetic modification or genetic engineering is the altering of the genetic material in a...

Genetic modification is the area of biotechnology which concerns itself with the manipulation of genetic material in living organisms and enabling them to perform a specific function. New developments leading to modern genetic modification which took place in 1946 where scientists first discovered that genetic material was transferable between different species. Genetically modified yields have been helpful to both the economy and nature. The worldwide nourishment harvest yield (1996â2013) has expanded by > 370 million tons (Raman, 2017) over a...

Imagine if we could produce crops that do not require any pesticides, grow quicker than normal, and are produced with vital nutrients not previously found in them. This isnât fantasy, as we already do all of the above through GMOs. According to the World Health Organization, GMOs or genetically modified organisms, are defined as organisms, such as plants, in which the genetic material, or DNA, has been modified in a manner that would not occur in nature. This is generally...

People depend on plants and creatures as sustenance sources and have since a long time ago utilized organisms to deliver nourishments. GMO or genetically modified foods are novel organisms created in a laboratory using genetic modification/engineering techniques. Scientists and consumer and environmental groups have cited many health and environmental risks with foods containing GMOs. However, GMO are everywhere in todayâs society where they effect every person through regulations on food consumption, technics and its economy. However, these methods are relatively...

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from animals or plants whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified. For example, by the insertion of a gene from another organism, in a fashion that does not occur normally. Combining genes from different organisms is known as ârecombinant DNA technologyâ, while the resulting organism is claimed to be ‘genetically modified’, or ‘genetically engineered’, or ‘transgenic’. The technology is sometimes referred to as ‘modern biotechnology’ or ‘gene technology’ or ‘genetic engineering’ often as...

Genetic modification is the action of changing the genetic material (DNA) of an organism using engineering techniques. For thousands of years people have been modifying the genes of plants and animals by introducing new pieces of DNA into other organismsâ sequences of DNA. This can be done by taking DNA from the same species, a different species or synthetically making DNA in a lab. The technology is frequently called modern biotechnology or gene technology. Genetic modification plants were developed to...

Gene therapy is an experimental method for correcting faulty genes that cause disease to develop. Gene therapy attempts to treat illness by altering a person’s gene expression, with the ultimate goal of curing or preventing genetic diseases. Gene therapy aims to solve the problem at its source by inserting the right gene or repairing an existing one. Genes are the fundamental components of all living species. Genes are in charge of producing proteins that enable cells to work properly. These...

Rationale Godfrey (2000) in the Lancet claimed that âit is unknown whether the use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture affects human healthâ. While the article discussed uncertainties of GM foods, it stated the USA has a broad range of modified nourishment already but lacks case study on the affects for those who digest the genetically modified food and those who do not, as research upon human test subjects violate the ethical code of conduct. Subsequently, with preliminary investigation, a...

The World Food Program estimates that 795 million people worldwide â mostly in the third world – experience hunger. Starvation may worsen in events of global climate-change effects like drought (Effiong & Noor, 2019). Indeed, recent natural disasters in major food-exporting nations in Africa and Asia could aggravate adverse food situation (Qaim & Kouser, 2013). Fortunately, recent scientific discoveries have shown that genetic modification of food and gene-editing can provide effective ways of addressing starvation. This paper shows that GM...
