Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A Review
Abstract: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a recently developing technique in the field of developmental biology. The rationale behind artificial insemination is increasing the gamete density at the site of fertilization. Since many centuries diverse pioneers added to the historical backdrop of manual sperm injection, not only in humans but even more pronounced in farm animals. The primary reason for using this technique in farm animals is to speed up the …

Characteristics of Mycrocystin aeruginosa – Review
Abstract: Cynobacteria are photoautotrophs, they have major significance in the branch of phycology. There are some cynobacteria which synthesize microcystin which is a toxin compound released and caused deleterious effect to human kind. Mycrocystin aeruginosa produces a toxic algal bloom, this organism released a hepatotoxin called mycrocystin. Cyanobacterial toxins they are membrane-bound or occur free within the cells. In in-vitro research, most of the toxin release occurs as cells age and …

A Pre-domestic Approach for Farm Animal Production: Free Range, Resource-efficient, Organic-driven and Fair-trade-directed
Abstract: Food security and Human Nutrition are two topics of interest for modern world farming. Food scarcity does not allow proper nutrient intake in some areas of the modern world and even in locations where food is abundant concern is persistent given the use of bioaccumulable agrochemicals for their production. Animal welfare is also a modern concern. To this regard, organic and free-range farming meet the demand of a reduced number …

Common Methods for Isolation, Revival and Freezing of Peripheral Animal Blood Mononuclear Cells—A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe main players to investigate to effect of bio actives on various immune cells are human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). These cells are easily isolated from blood of healthy donors or buffy coats (leukocyte concentrates, a by-product from hospital Blood Banks in the manufacturing of red blood cell and thrombocyte concentrates from anti-coagulated whole blood). PBMCs vary from intestinal tissue cells in terms of structure, phenotype, and activation status. …

Transgenic Animals: Methods and Applications
Abstract: Transgenic animals are those animals whose genetic makeup is altered by ingesting foreign genes into the genes of that animal in order to produce enhanced product. The process of inserting the gene of the desire to express that gene in the animal and then in its offspring by using recombinant DNA technology is termed as transgenesis. With this advancement it has become easier to use the process of transgenesis for …

Cow’s milk trigger for type 1 diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes is an autoimmune, metabolic disorder that occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin hormones. Type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes may occur genetically due to viral infection, vitamin D deficiency and environmental factors. Cow’s milk protein is one of the causes for type 1 diabetes. Casein protein which is found in the cow’s milk is responsible for production of antibodies bovine β–lacto globulin. Such antibodies destroy the β cell …
