DespueÌs de que una mujer joven aparentemente sana colapsa repentinamente en el metro de Nueva York y muere cuando llega al hospital, su caso se atribuye inicialmente a una virulenta cepa de influenza. Es decir, hasta que termina en la mesa de autopsias del Dr. Jack Stapleton, donde Jack descubre algo inquietantemente sospechoso: primero, que la joven ha tenido un trasplante de corazoÌn y, segundo, que su ADN coincide con el del corazoÌn trasplantado. ExtranÌamente, siguen dos incidentes maÌs de joÌvenes con esta misma enfermedad repentina y raÌpida, y Jack teme que esto podriÌa ser el comienzo de una pandemia sin precedentes. Pero los hechos no cuadran. Algo anda mal en estos casos, algo espeluznante, y solo Jack puede resolverlo antes de que sea demasiado tarde. AsiÌ comienza una carrera contra el tiempo, durante la cual Jack revela la parte maÌs oscura del mercado de trasplantes de oÌrganos. Su nombre es Bui Zhao, un empresario y miembro de la junta del hospital que ha estado enganÌando al sistema mediante el uso de oÌrganos y ceÌlulas de cerdos quimeÌricos, a traveÌs de la biotecnologiÌa de edicioÌn de genes CRISPER/CAS9, que permite insertar genes de cerdo en ceÌlulas humanas vivas. En un enfrentamiento mortal culminante, Jack debe enfrentarse a Zhao, el megaloÌmano dispuesto a arriesgar el destino del mundo para perseguir sus intereses comerciales, si quiere salvar el futuro de la medicina. 520 $a The explosive new medical thriller from New York Times-bestselling author Robin Cook. After a young, seemingly healthy woman collapses suddenly on the NYC subway and dies by the time she reaches the hospital, her case is initially chalked up to a virulent strain of influenza. That is, until she ends up on Dr. Jack Stapleton's autopsy table, where Jack discovers something eerily fishy: First, that the young woman has had a heart transplant, and second, that her DNA matches that of the transplanted heart. Strangely, two more incidences of young people with this same sudden and rapid illness follow, and Jack fears that this could be the start of an unprecedented pandemic. But the facts aren't adding up. Something is off about these cases, something creepy, and only Jack can figure it out before it's too late. Thus begins a race against time, during which Jack unveils the dark underbelly of the organ-transplant market. His name is Bui Zhao, a businessman and hospital board member who has been cheating the system by using organs and cells from chimeric pigs, via the gene-editing biotechnology CRISPER/CAS9, which allows pig genes to be inserted into living human cells. In a climactic mortal showdown, Jack must face Zhao, the megalomaniac willing to risk the fate of the world to pursue his commercial interests, if he wants to save the future of medicine. 650 0 $a Influenza $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Heart $x Transplantation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sale of organs, tissues, etc. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a CRISPR-associated protein 9 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gene editing $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Gripe $v Novela. $2 bidex 650 7 $a CorazoÌn $x Trasplante $v Novela. $2 bidex 650 7 $a rganos $v Novela. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Novelas de suspenso. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Gripe $v Novela. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Genes $v Novela. $2 qlsp 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novelas de intriga. $2 tgfbne 655 $a Spanish language materials. 700 1 $a Bach, Mauricio, $d 1965- $e translator. 700 1 $i Translation of (work): $a Cook, Robin, $d 1940- $t Pandemic. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710063339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EFB2AD26EE2E11ED8D85606C28ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
