Biotechnology is a field of science that involves using living organisms or their derivatives to develop products and processes for various applications. It combines biology, chemistry, genetics, and other disciplines to create innovative solutions in healthcare, agriculture, industry, and environmental management.
One of the key areas of biotechnology is medical biotechnology, which focuses on using biological processes, organisms, or derivatives to develop new pharmaceuticals, vaccines, diagnostic tools, and therapies for medical conditions. This includes research into genetic engineering, regenerative medicine, and personalized medicine.

Is the Risk From Bird Flu Rising?#americanscientist #sciencefather

  Recent reports of the  first “severe” human case of bird flu   in the U.S. are raising concerns among   public health   experts as to the potential long-term health threat the virus could pose for the public the longer it continues to circulate throughout the country. The  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  recently confirmed a Louisiana patient was hospitalized with a severe case of the  H5N1 strain of influenza  after being around sick and dead birds in backyard flocks, marking the first such case involving exposure to a backyard flock in the U.S. The case is the latest in an upsurge in virus activity this year. Earlier this month, the  U.S. Department of Agriculture  announced it would order the  testing of all raw, unpasteurized milk  under federal order for  bird flu  in response to a large outbreak among dairy cows that was first detected in March and has since been found in nearly  900 herd...

Elon Musk's 'social experiment on humanity': How X evolved in 2024 #sciencefather #americanscientist

Billionaire Elon Musk has hailed Twitter as a bastion for freedom of expression ever since he acquired the social media site two years ago. But over the course of 2024, X, as it is now called, has evolved from what felt like a communal town square into a polarised hub where views and posts seem even more controversial. ​​Certain profiles that have shared misleading takes on politics and the news, some of which have been accused of triggering hate, have recently shot to prominence.

Not only is it a place where certain high-profile politicians, governments and police forces share statements and views - but now its owner Mr Musk has directly aligned himself with Donald Trump, a relationship that could redefine how the bosses of other social media giants deal with the next US President. So, what's behind this new wave...

The  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  says there were  91 outbreaks reported  during the week of Dec. 5, up from 69 cases the last week of November, per The Associated Press. There have been a maximum of 65 outbreaks reported during the first week of December in recent years. The highly contagious infection is the leading cause of foodborne illness and causes sudden vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms include nausea, stomach pain, body ache, headache and fever. There is no medication to treat it. According to the CDC, there are between 19 million to 21 million cases of norovirus a year, and an estimated 900 people die from it while 109,000 are hospitalized. It's  estimated  that one in every 15 people per year are infected. Norovirus is often seen on  cruise ships , nursing homes, jails, schools and crowded living conditions. Cases...
