Chicken eggs are already used to harvest helpful proteins called antibodies to protect humans from viruses such as influenza. Now, a breakthrough at the University of Missouri could one day lead to chickens that produce other useful medical proteins in their eggs.

chicken eggs are useful in producing weakened viruses, not antibodies, thats very different, they usually use other animals like horses, rabbits for anti-venim.
if we can do it in chickens why the fuck wouldnt we do it in some micro organism?
There’s something very funny about HRT coming from a literal egg
Get ready for an estradiol egg contract to show up on Egg Inc. lol
yes, let us become more relient on animal cruelty and enslavement
Who knows, maybe this backfires and conservatives stop eating eggs because they give you the gay.
If HRT stops being vegan I’m gonna flip My fucking lid.
Is it vegan now?
Estrogen is made from soybeans or other plants, unsure about progesterone and testosterone. It’s possible pills can sometimes be made with lactose or something but the hormones themselves are usually vegan
Huh, TIL - thank you!
