A team of researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is using microbes to turn single-use plastics into biodegradable plastics and bioproducts, including biodegradable jet fuel, nylon and chemicals used in chemotherapy and child myopia treatments. They published their findings in Trends in Biotechnology.  Common recycling practices can only use a fraction of plastic waste in… The post…

The valorization of fishery-derived wastes through microalgal biotechnology provides a practical route to integrate wastewater remediation with high-value bioproduct generation. This study demonstrates an integrated process in which solid fish waste was converted into an algal growth medium via sulfuric acid hydrolysis (3% H2SO4; 1:8, w/v) combined with autoclave-assisted pretreatment (121 °C, 20…

Every seventeen minutes, give or take, a bacteriophage called T7 tears open an E. coli cell from the inside. It has spent that time making perhaps 180 copies of itself, each one packed with DNA, and now the cell ruptures to release them into the world. Scientists at the National University of Singapore have been watching this cycle very carefully. Not because they want to destroy bacteria, but be…

The human heart shrivels away in space, but researchers have found that mini-hearts grown from human stem cells sprout in space significantly faster than in labs on Earth.

BioticsAI CEO Robhy Bustami joined Isabelle Johannessen on Build Mode to discuss how the company has navigated a highly regulated space and kept the team motivated while cutting through all the red tape.

Imagine holding a miniature, beating human heart in the palm of your hand—not a metaphor, but a real, living mini-heart grown from stem cells. That’s not science fiction. It’s science fact, and it’s happening thanks to a powerful partnership between Michigan State University (MSU) and CytoHub Inc., a biotech company poised to revolutionize cardiac research, drug development, and regenerative medi…

New research has shown that single blood vessel cells that appear in the earliest stages of lab-grown skin organoids have the ability to form complex microvascular networks that grow and mature over time.
