New super-enzyme “eats” plastic six times faster
Scientists have created a super-enzyme that can degrade plastic bottles up to six times faster than a previously discovered plastic-eating enzyme. The synergistic enzyme “cocktail” combines PETase and MHETase. These enzymes are produced by Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium that has evolved the ability to eat polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a strong, synthetic fiber used in creating plastic […]

Scientists develop artificial muscles powered by glucose: Findings will be used to develop a system that’s “even closer to a biological muscle”
A recent breakthrough in engineering and robotics just might blur the line between man and machine. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have successfully developed and created artificial muscles that run on glucose and oxygen — just like their organic counterparts. According to the researchers, they wanted to develop artificial muscles, which, instead of using traditional […]

The secret to “unlimited” hair: Can this novel scientific achievement finally address hair loss?
Scientists from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) believe that they have found a way to cure baldness for good. The team of researchers figured out how to grow an “unlimited” amount of natural-looking hair all from stem cells. According to the researchers, who presented their findings to the International Society for Stem Cell […]

Ebola as MEDICINE? Protein expressed by Ebola virus enables selective targeting and elimination of brain tumors
The Ebola virus (EBOV) is notorious for causing outbreaks and a deadly disease known as a viral hemorrhagic fever. An aggressive pathogen by nature, EBOV not only infects different organs and cells, it also produces several proteins that help it evade the human body’s immune response to viruses. But researchers recently discovered a way to manipulate and put one of […]

From transplanting organs to repairing and regrowing them: Biomaterials may save a lot of lives
For many decades, countless human organ transplants have been done. Some of these transplants fail because of complications such as immune system rejection, donor organ failure, and many others. These reasons are what gave rise to regenerative engineering, a field of study which aims to repair or regrow tissues and organs instead of replacing them. A study […]

The rise of Terminator-like machines: Biohybrid robot made with muscles grown from hydrogel sheets
What did Japanese researchers do when they found a new way to grow biological muscles out of hydrogel sheets? Why, make cyborgs, of course. An article in Science Daily detailed how they created a robot with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton using their newly developed technique. This prototype is the latest Frankensteinian creation of […]
