Organ donors can save lives, for example, those of patients with kidney failure. Unfortunately, there are too few donors, and the waiting lists are long. 3D bioprinting of (parts of) organs may offer a solution […]
Aqueous batteries have been around for centuries. They are safe and relatively low-cost, but their adoption in new energy storage systems—such as grid storage and electric vehicles—has been limited. One major reason is material compatibility: […]
As we get older, our muscle strength slowly declines—increasing our risk of falls, injuries, and loss of independence. In particular, we rely on our lower body strength for many essential daily activities such as walking […]
The Trump administration has given notice that political appointees, rather than scientists, will ultimately decide who gets grant money from the world’s largest biomedical research funder—the federal government’s National Institutes of Health.This post was originally […]
In the lab, it’s easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new research unveils a blueprint […]
The PET (polyethylene terephthalate)-alternative PDCA (pyridinedicarboxylic acid) is biodegradable and has superior physical properties, according to a recent study. A Kobe University team of bioengineers engineered E. coli bacteria to produce the compound from glucose […]
Nearly six decades after its invention, the design of the computer mouse has remained largely unchanged—with serious consequences for users.This post was originally published on this site
Researchers led by Ken Shirasu at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have identified an ancient protein that has the potential to help defend plants against tens of thousands of different […]
Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess cells are pushed out.This post […]
The type of protein you eat after intense physical training can significantly impact recovery, according to new research from Texas A&M University’s Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management.This post was originally published on this site
