The Future of Biotechnology … Today

Proteins are some of the most diverse structures in the biological system; they contribute for such a variety of purposes. Research at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) has shown through trials on mice produces bone instead of fat. The drugs that were used to treat the specimen were for inflammatory diseases, whose side effect is bone degeneration. The protein, GILZ, was used to correct this factor because it manages fat production, ; the protein was then shut off because fat and bone pathways are complementary, if fat increase ceases then bone would have to increase, giving way for a new type of anti inflammatory that will save many from Osteoporosis.
