- Abstract
The article offers biotechnology news briefs in the U.S. A group of malignant melanoma-initiating cells (MMICs) that express the chemoresistance mediator ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 5 (ABCB5) has been identified. Meanwhile, plant varieties identified by marker-assisted selection (MAS) are gaining prominence as a publicly acceptable alternative to transgenic crops. On the other hand, adult fibroblasts and epithelial cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent, embryonic-like state.
