The trust's then medical director was found to have "manipulated" and "engineered" her dismissal and was condemned by the tribunal as a "self-acknowledged liar".
The whole concept illustrates utter disregard, disrespect for and misunderstanding of nature -- as if we so mightily master all of creation that it is entirely under our control to be precisely and predictably manipulated and engineered for our own purposes.
The CMV RNA3 component is rather small in size, 2.2 kb, and is easy to manipulate and to engineer to contain restriction enzyme sites to allow for easy removal of the CMV CP gene and replace it with any gene of interest.
But underneath it all, it's about this: our culture's excruciatingly dangerous claim to have such complete understanding and command over nature that we can radically manipulate and re-engineer it with minimal risk to the natural systems that sustain us.
Advances in RNA nanotechnology will depend on the ability to manipulate, probe the structure and engineer the function of RNA with high precision.
It is possible that many of these proteins could be useful for future approaches to successfully manipulate or engineer CHO cells in order to sustain productivity of recombinant protein.
If the proteins involved in biological nanoparticle synthesis can be put into a suitable bacterial chassis then they might be manipulated and the pathways engineered in order to produce more valuable nanoparticles.
