GalleryUSDA: RNA-interference Pesticides Will Need Special Safety Testing
A new peer-reviewed paper in the journal Bioscience draws attention to potential hazards on nontarget species of pesticides and GMOs made with RNA-interference (RNAi) gene-silencing techniques. These hazards could include off-target gene silencing or immune stimulation. (more…)
Dr. Thongprakaisang: Glyphosate Induces Growth in Human Breast Cancer Cells
This study shows that Glyphosate exerted proliferative effects only in human hormone-dependent breast cancer, T47D cells, but not in hormoneindependent breast cancer, MDA-MB231 cells, at 10-12 to 10-6 M in estrogen withdrawal condition. (more…)
