Development of an Advanced Bovine Embryo Culture
The Problem: Through advanced genetics, In vitro produced (IVP) cattle embryos can increase farm protein and milk production by improving important herd production traits for average daily gain and milk yield. Unfortunately, IVP cattle embryo development is limited by in vitro culture conditions including embryo culture media which are considered suboptimal....

Accelerated Wound Healing and Wrinkle Reduction
Project ID: D2006-10Background: Wound healing is the body's natural process of regenerating dermal and epidermal tissue. When an individual is wounded, a set of complex biochemical events takes place in a closely orchestrated cascade to repair the damage. Wound healing is generally considered to be a process occurring in three phases; inflammation,...
