Forget Pfizer, Chickens Now Produce Cancer Drug
Scientists in the UK have genetically engineered chicken that produces an important protein to fight cancer.
(BBC) The Roslin Institute, near Edinburgh, says it has produced five generations of birds that can produce useful levels of life-saving proteins in egg whites.I wonder if that could even happen in this country? Or would too many people cry religious values?
The work could lead to a range of drugs that are cheaper and easier to make.
