The discovery of a gene controlling prickliness can lead to the development of smooth, prickle-free plants without compromising fruit and flower quality.

Researchers have created genetically engineered microbes that produce nylon-like plastics, offering a potential solution to plastic waste.

Genetically engineered male mosquitoes can inject venom into females during mating to reduce mosquito populations and disease transmission.

Successful genetically modified pig kidney transplant performed on a 66-year-old man raises hopes for addressing organ shortages.

Biotechnology is advancing with a new 'gene revolution' in the 2020s, allowing for gene editing without splicing in genes from separate organisms to enhance food security and address climate challenges.

The FDA has approved clinical trials for organ transplants using genetically modified pigs, a potential solution for the kidney transplant shortage.

A 66-year-old man received a genetically modified pig kidney transplant, marking a significant advance in addressing organ shortages in the U.S.

Grapefruit can dangerously interact with many medications, but genetically engineered varieties may offer a solution by eliminating harmful compounds.

Grapefruits contain furanocoumarins that can interfere with medication, warranting warning labels.

The debate centers on genetically engineered mosquitoes for malaria control, highlighting the balance between potential benefits and risks to ecosystems.

Engineered mosquitoes can deliver vaccines, potentially providing enhanced immunity against malaria, especially critical due to the high malaria death rate.
