Firm says it could make 10 million doses vaccine per month against the #coronavirus, if approved by FDA. Medicago CEO Bruce Clark said they could produce as many as 10 million doses a month. How could they do that so fast? Using plant GMO, that’s how! defenseone.com/technology/202…
Medicago doesn’t work with a live virus. Instead, it uses GMO plants. The plant begins to produce the protein that can then be used as a vaccine. If the virus begins to mutate, as is expected for COVID-19, they can just update the production using new plants.

You are looking at one of oldest microbes on earth! A single-celled ancient lineage of Archaea, a domain of life similar to bacteria. Took 12 years of lab work to grow them! Shows life’s greatest leaps toward complexity, from bacteria-like organisms to complicated eukaryotes.
Link to the Nature paper nature.com/articles/s4158…
“On the basis of the available data obtained from cultivation and genomics, and reasoned interpretations of the existing literature, we propose a hypothetical model for eukaryogenesis, termed the entangle–engulf–endogenize”
An unusual meal kicked off the evolution of complicated cell2B years ago. An ancient archaean gobbled up a bacterium sparked a symbiotic relationship (endosymbiosis), evolving into mitochondria, the energy-producing cellular structures that fueled the rise of complex life.
