Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Scientists at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh say that they have developed a genetically modified chicken that lays cancer-fighting eggs. The eggs themselves don't fight cancer (although that does present an interesting mental picture), but they do contain a very high concentration of a potentially cancer-treating protein in their egg whites. This particular protein has been used to develop cancer antibodies before.
These eggs are still being studied, and the first "production line" is about five years away, by some estimates. A few other groups, including the US company AviGenics in Georgia and GeneWorks in Ann Arbor, Michigan, have also been working on developing on producing similar antibodies in egg protein, research which may help to speed the process up. Imagine the surge in popularity that the egg white omelet would have if they were to become commercially available!
