Bt gene insertion in wheat
Bt gene insertion in wheat can help address the problem of increasing pest resistance to insecticidal sprays. The Bt gene from Bacillus thuringiensis produces an insecticidal toxin that is inserted into crop plants like cotton, corn, wheat and maize through genetic engineering techniques. This allows the plants to internally produce the toxin, killing insect pests without the need for concentrated insecticidal sprays. The Bt gene is isolated from B. thuringiensis bacteria and modified with a promoter and terminator sequence before being inserted into the plant genome using transformation methods like biolistics or Agrobacterium. Transformed plants are selected and grown in greenhouses before field testing to ensure expression of the Bt toxin and resistance
Applications Of Industrial Biotechnology
Industrial biotechnology uses microorganisms and biological processes to produce industrial goods in a more environmentally friendly and efficient way compared to traditional industrial production. It involves isolating microbes, screening them for useful product formation abilities, improving product yields through fermentation, and recovering valuable end products.

The principles of biotechnology involve genetic engineering techniques like recombinant DNA to alter genes and introduce traits. Applications include GMOs in crops and animals to improve traits, as well as gene therapy to treat genetic disorders. Biotechnology impacts society through advances in healthcare, agriculture, environment, and industry. However, genetic engineering risks include unintended consequences and ethical issues that require careful evaluation and oversight.
Designing of drug delivery system for biotechnology products considering stab...
This document discusses drug delivery systems for biotechnology products, focusing on stability aspects and monitoring methods to improve stability. It provides background on biotechnology and its history, then describes various routes for delivering biotech products, including orally, nasally, transdermally, parenterally, and rectally. For each route, it discusses technologies being investigated or developed to enhance stability and absorption of biotech drugs, such as using polymers, absorption enhancers, and targeted delivery methods. The goal is to develop delivery systems that can safely and reliably deliver biotech medications at therapeutic levels.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Biotechnology Notes 1, Introduction.pdf
- 1. Biotechnology: The use of Biological processes, organisms or systems to establish a product that tend to improve human life is termed as biotechnology. Types of Biotechnology: 1. Red Biotechnology ( related with health and medicines) 2. White Biotechnology (Applicable in industries for processing of new chemicals) 3. Green Biotechnology (used in agriculture) 4. Yellow Biotechnology ( Applicable in food production) 5. Dark Biotechnology ( Biological Warfare) 6. Gold Biotechnology ( Cross between biological process and monitoring the data by using computers i.e Bioinformatics) Scope Of Biotechnology: Scope is termed as that how much far you can go with the field. Or up to what extent you can make your career in a relevant field is known as it’s scope. So any field in zoology is a scope of biotechnology. or we can say that in any field in which we can apply Biotechnology is known as it’s scope.
- 2. Applications of Biotechnology: The live or ongoing procedures which we perform using biotechnology is it’s application. 1. Health: ● The main application of biotechnology is in the health and medicine sector ● . The very first thing is that all the diagnosis method in the health field are based on Biotech principles. ● Secondly the commercial production of enzymes just like reverse transcriptase is also a main application of Biotechnology.
- 3. 2. Electrophoresis: ● Electrophoresis is a technique used to identify DNA/RNA sequences. It is also based on Biotechnology. ● Staining technique and Elisa( a diagnosing technique) are also the applications of Biotechnology. 3. Treatment: ● Biotechnology plays a vital role in the treatment of different diseases. ● Antibiotics production comes under it. ● And also vitamin production is an application of Biotechnology. ● Biotechnology also has role in preventive measures against any disease. Vaccines are the best examples of it. 4. Agriculture: ● Biotechnology related to the agriculture is known as green biotechnology. ● There are many examples regarding green biotechnology such as. ● Selective breeding of plants. ● Producing pest resistant plants. ● Producing drought resistant plants( plants with high yields)
