In Japan, scientists are pushing the boundaries of medicine with a remarkable breakthrough: the creation of pigs whose organs may one day save human lives. A startup called PorMedTec, spun out of Meiji University, has successfully cloned piglets from gene-edited cells designed to reduce the risk of immune rejection when transplanted into people. These piglets carry genetic changes developed by U.S. biotech company eGenesis, which not only suppress immune barriers but also eliminate harmful viruses hidden within pig DNA. For Japan, where organ shortages are especially severe—thousands wait while only a few hundred transplants occur each year—this research represents more than just science; it offers a glimpse of hope. By proving that animals can be engineered with safer, human-compatible organs, PorMedTec and its partners are laying the foundation for a future where lifesaving transplants are no longer limited by the scarcity of donors.

‎Day 3
‎
‎APPLICATIONS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY (BTG)
‎Biotechnology is broad and has diverse applications, which are majorly classified into:
‎1. Health sector
‎2. Agriculture
‎3. Industries
‎4. Environment
‎
‎---
‎
‎- APPLICATIONS IN HEALTH
‎Biotechnology is used in the health sector to produce vaccines, drugs, and diagnostic tools, such as the production of insulin to tackle the issue of diabetes, the silencing or deleting of the gene responsible for sickle cell anemia, and the production of diagnostic tools such as PCR and ELISA for the detection of diseases.
‎
‎---
‎
‎- APPLICATIONS IN AGRICULTURE
‎Biotechnology is applied in the field of agriculture to increase yield and establish food security. It can boost crop yield by up to 50% or more, thereby establishing food security. It can also give rise to new species or breeds of fruits, e.g., a mango that tastes like an apple — where the gene responsible for the apple taste is transmitted into the mango.
‎
‎Biotech in agriculture improves:
‎- Crop production/yield
‎- Pest resistance
‎- Reduces crop maturity date
‎- And also leads to more income
‎
‎---
‎
‎- APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRIES
‎Biotechnology almost or affects most of our lives activities, aiming to provide solutions to unsolved questions in the health sector, agriculture, industries, and environments.
‎Biotechnology is applied in industries to produce biofuels and enzymes. These enzymes are fermented to produce beer, cheese, yogurt, and other industrial products to serve humanity. Biofuels are produced through the fermentation of biological materials, which reduces the greenhouse effect and can serve as fuel/gas for daily life activities such as fueling a car for transportation purposes or a generator for electricity.
‎
‎---
‎
‎- APPLICATIONS IN ENVIRONMENT
‎Biotechnology is applied in the environmental sector for bioremediation and waste management purposes.

Day 2
WHO IS A BIOTECHNOLOGIST?
‎A biotechnologist is a person grounded in the knowledge of genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, chemistry, statistics, data management, etc. The list is much longer, but these are some of the major ones.
‎
‎He is a person who has been trained for 4 years to have vast knowledge and a wide understanding of the most complex species I.e humans, microbes, and plants.
‎
‎"Why do biotechnologists require all this knowledge?"
‎The work of a biotechnologist is simple, he modifies organisms, microbes, and crops to get desirable outcomes.
‎
‎Which happens to come with a lot of complexity. What complexity? You may ask.
‎
‎Have you ever heard of the word "GMO"? Does it ring a bell? It stands for "Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)", which are majorly produced to meet the fast-growing needs of a society or nation.
‎
‎ HOW DOES THIS WORK?
‎Just like explained in my first post on "WHAT'S BIOTECHNOLOGY" mating of animals, e.g., a sheep which usually gives birth to a single offspring, with a ram which has the gene of birthing triplets in order to boost yield in which the sheep could reproduce triplets due to the mating. This is one of the aims of biotechnology using natural methods.
‎
‎But chances are excellent that sometimes the goat might still give birth to a single offspring. Then scientists thought: "Okay, what if the gene for triplets is transferred into the goat permanently?" Meaning from now henceforth, she will be birthing triplets always instead of a single offspring and that, is MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY.

Continuation in comments....
Tomorrow we will be looking at the APPLICATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGY.

Day 1
WHAT IS BIOTECHNOLOGY?
Many people have asked the question: What’s biotechnology? Which course is it? Its relevance? And sometimes even question its existence.
‎
‎The time I exchanged departments from Chemistry to Biotechnology was because I had difficulty in understanding Chemistry — or let me say, the lack of an ideal background in Chemistry.
‎
‎So many people often ask, Is Biotechnology a course? What do they do? What is the course all about? I have never heard of it — it must be a new discipline.
‎
‎Of course, I never took offense in what they say, because indeed, Biotechnology happens to be a new course and discipline to many, even though it has been in existence since 1919 and was first named Biotechnology by Karoly Ereky.
‎
‎Many of us practice Biotechnology without even knowing. Yeah, let me explain:
‎
‎- That moment you took a duck egg to be bred by a chicken -that’s Biotechnology.
‎- That moment you mate two different compatible animals to obtain a desirable breed — that’s Biotechnology.
‎- That moment a farmer breeds two different species of plant to obtain a desirable outcome — that’s Biotechnology, but formally known as crossbreeding.
‎You can see we practice Biotechnology in our daily lives without even knowing. All those:
- Brewing
‎- Hybridization
‎- Plant breeding
‎- Crossbreeding
‎- Spontaneous mutation, etc.
‎
‎They are all fractions of Biotechnology.
‎
‎The above processes are natural, while Biotechnology involves the use of sophisticated machines, instruments, and technology.
‎
‎ SO WHAT IS BIOTECHNOLOGY?
‎"Bio" means life
‎"Technology" means the practical implementation of science and engineering to produce desirable outcomes.

‎BIOTECHNOLOGY: is the use of biological systems, organisms, or processes to develop products and technologies that improve human life and the environment.
‎
‎It combines biology with technology to solve problems in fields like agriculture, medicine, industry, and environmental science.

Tomorrow we will be looking at who's a BIOTECHNOLOGIST!
