Could cow milk be the new cure for diabetes? Researchers have genetically modified a brown cow in Brazil to produce human insulin in its milk, which marks a breakthrough in diabetes treatment research ...

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign animal scientist Matt Wheeler, pictured, helped develop the first transgenic cow to produce human insulin in her milk. An unassuming brown bovine from the south ...

The prospect of an outbreak of avian influenza among dairy cattle triggering a pandemic in humans is one step closer than scientists thought. New research shows that cow udder cells can be infected ...

Cows have entry portals for both human and bird flus. This new finding may mean that cattle could host both types of flus at once. The two viruses could then swap parts to create a new type of ...

Scientists are on alert for changes in the H5N1 or bird flu virus that could signal it is adapting to spread among humans. The virus has caused serious, sometimes fatal, infections among people and ...

Although this project is a laudable attempt to remind us that human beings are only one part of the world, the setting of the piece is very limited: a nursery cow field and wooded area in England. So ...
