If the results of a new genetic study underway at the University of Minnesota can be duplicated in humans, diseases such as sickle cell anemia and hemophilia may soon be a thing of the past. For the first time, U-of-M scientists say they have successfully repaired a gene that causes a deadly liver disease. Dr. Clifford Steer is leading the study. He says researchers developed a technique that allows them to go into a cell with a single defect and essentially re-write its genetic code.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
