In biology, offspring are the young born of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms. Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny in a more general way. This can refer to a set of simultaneous offspring, such as the chicks hatched from one clutch of eggs, or to all the offspring, as with the honeybee.

CICM cells and non-human mammalian embryos prepared by nuclear transfer of a proliferating differentiated cell or its nucleus

InactiveUS6235970B1Simple procedureSimplifying and facilitating procedureNervous disorderMuscular disorderPresent methodNuclear transfer
An improved method of nuclear transfer involving the transplantation of donor differentiated cell nuclei into enucleated oocytes of the same species as the donor cell is provided. The resultant nuclear transfer units are useful for multiplication of genotypes and transgenic genotypes by the production of fetuses and offspring, and for production of isogenic CICM cells, including human isogenic embryonic or stem cells. Production of genetically engineered or transgenic mammalian embryos, fetuses and offspring is facilitated by the present method since the differentiated cell source of the donor nuclei can be genetically modified and clonally propagated.

No maintenance lethal mosquito breeding trap

A device into which gravid (pregnant) female mosquitos are attracted to deposit their eggs and where both the adult and her offspring are then eliminated. The trap is set in the out-of-doors at the onset of the mosquito breeding season and is replenished by rain water and, by its unique construction, a larvicide within is protected from flushing and photo degradation thereby making it maintenance free throughout the mosquito breeding season. The low cost trap is constructed from biodegradable paperboard and at the end of the mosquito breeding season, decomposes, thereby foreclosing the possibility that the trap will become a breeding incubator.
