Chicken eggs take the fight to cancer
[ratings]
British scientists have developed a genetically modified chicken… Actually, scrap that, they have developed 5 GENERATIONS of them who’s eggs fight cancer. Now, I know you’ve got little pictures of an egg kind of like Pus’N'boots from Shrek in your head right now, with a cap and holding a sabre but it’s not quite that exciting.
The eggs in fact contain proteins that are essential for the body to fight cancer. Dr Helen Sang has poured 15 years or her life into perfecting these genetically modified birds to the point where she has bread 500 in the current crop.
The chickens lay the eggs, secreting the proteins into the egg whites, allowing them to be extracted and purified.
