OSDD is a CSIR led team India Consortium with global partnership with a vision to provide affordable healthcare to the developing world by providing a global platform where the best minds can collaborate collectively endeavor to solve the complex problems associated with discovering novel therapies for neglected tropical diseases like Malaria, Tuberculosis, Leshmaniasis, etc.OSDD is a translational platform for drug discovery, bringing together informaticians, wet lab scientists, contract research organizations, clinicians, hospitals and others who are willing to adhere to the affordable healthcare philosophy. It is a concept to collaboratively aggregate the biological, genetic and chemical information available to scientists in order to use it to hasten the discovery of drugs. This will provide a unique opportunity for scientists, doctors, technocrats, students and others with diverse expertise to work for a common cause. The success of Open Source models in Information Technology (For eg, Web Technology, The Linux Operating System) and Biotechnology (For eg, Human Genome Sequencing) sectors highlights the urgent need to initiate a similar model in healthcare, ie, an Open Source model for Drug Discovery. Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (www.csir.res.in) India is one of the largest publicly funded research organizations in the world. CSIR has played a key role in the development of industry in India by providing them with technologies. In particular, it ...From:osddvoicesViews:1 0ratingsTime:05:45More inScience Technology

Introduction

Genetic disorders are becoming common nowadays due to stressful modern lifestyle. Latest technologies are the added values to create many genetic disorders. To overcome the disorders, Gene therapy is a blessing. In order to compensate abnormal genes and make a good gene, genetic material is introduced into cells. In this way, mutated gene will act as a normal gene. Let us see in detail.

Ways to insert the gene

There are indirect ways need to be followed to make a gene to function as if it is inserted directly does not function. Carrier also called as vector is used to deliver the gene. In the place of vectors, virus play the role as they are getting modified and hence people are not affected with new diseases when it is integrated into the chromosome of the human cell.

The vectors need to get injected to specific tissue in the body or outwardly patient’s cell is removed and exposed to the vector. In either of the ways need to be again returned to the patient. Successful treatment makes proper genes and genetic disorders get solved.

Gene therapy for treating cancer

Cancer is the dangerous disease and there are many ways to cure cancer including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. But cancerous cells in due course again spread and hence it is a deadly disease. Gene therapy is the best way discovered nowadays for treating cancer.
Let us see the basic fundamentals of cells. cells include packets of data in genes, created either from DNA or RNA. Sequence is there for DNA and if it is in the order, there will be no problem. But at the same time If there is disorder occurs in portion of the genes either turning or changing the position, cells lost their control and abnormal growth is seen which result in cancerous tumors. It can spread in mouth, breast, lung etc.,

Specialists in Gene therapy analyze the patient’s criticality first and follow the treatment procedures. One way is they replace missing or mutated genes into wholesome genes. Inserting totally new genes for fighting cancer, placing DNA into cancerous cells to undergo chemotherapy and radiation or injecting bad gene to destroy them etc., Mesothelioma type of cancers are not at all responded in formal therapies and hence one need to undergo gene therapy essentially. Need to have consultations with doctors to overcome their deadly disease.

Gene therapy importance

Doctors decide whether gene therapy is suitable by the following approaches. If genetic disorders are from mutations in one or more genes or whether a normal copy of the gene that is available in the patient is enough to fix the problems in the affected cells, then doctors determine that gene therapy will be more helpful rather than going for traditional methods.

Conclusion

Genetic engineering is a vast topic. Latest Science innovations in the field of genetic engineering yields for gene therapy. Doctors and scientists together working to find out whether gene therapy is the best suitable way for treating deadly diseases like cancer and others. Let us salute for the positive force of gene therapy.

Ribbon "lifting" for 100000th cross display at IRRI
Also see: http://www.youtube.com On 29 November 2012, the community at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org) celebrated the 100000th rice breeding cross, a true milestone in the Institute #39;s 52-year history existence. The parents for the 100000th cross were IR09M105 and NSICRC 214.The objective of this particular cross was to improve eating quality. In this clip, Bas Bouman (left), director of the Global Rice Science Partnership (GRiSP) and Bruce Tolentino, deputy director general for communications and partnerships, "lift" the ribbon at the display showing the mature plants resulting from the cross along with the parents in the background. Glenn Gregorio, senior scientist in Plant Breeding, Genetics, and Biotechnology (PBGB) at IRRI, is the MC wrapped in the ribbon by Dr. Bouman at the conclusion. Special guest at the event was Rizal M. Herrera, who was among the first breeders to make crosses at IRRI in the early 1960s - http - Mr. Herrera arrived at IRRI in 1961 as a research aide and retired 36 years later in 1997 as a senior assistant scientist. Below is his poem-essay about how, in rice breeding, marriage respects no boundaries. Marriage Respects No Boundaries by Rizal M. Herrera IRRI rice breeder, 1961-97 Innocent-looking rice plants also engage in courtship and marriage practices. The rites are simple, devoid of elegant, expensive entourage, and there are no high government officials in flashy cars acting as principal sponsors. The bride, the ...From:irrivideoViews:64 3ratingsTime:02:29More inEducation
