Cloning humans?

Article Abstract:

The Dolly experiments have supported the idea that technically human cloning is possible. In view of this, manipulation of human oocytes are being studied for more feasible prospects of cloning humans. Generating one clonal human requires at least 100 rounds of ovulation induction. However, the lack of scientific, legal and moral literacy have deterred the spread of such technology.

PGC-1alpha: Looking behind the sweet treat for porphyria

Article Abstract:

PGC-1alpha a transcriptional coactivator is important for inducing porphyria by fasting as well as amelioration of symptoms by glucose treatment. The sweet treat for porphyria depends on how efficiently glucose is able to tame PGC-1alpha, however, less calorific treatments that target PGC-1alpha in liver can be given directly.
