Scientists have come up with a remarkable biobot innovation, powered by mouse muscle tissue, that may serve as a springboard for further robotic developments across various fields. Read on to know more.
A North Carolina-based biotechnology company has been awarded a $1 million grant to develop a management tool for sepsis using extracts from horseshoe crabs. Read the article to learn more details.
A new biotechnology technique produces synthetic milk that changes the dairy industry from animal-based food systems to more sustainable food production. Find out more about this innovation in this article.
In 1951, doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital took tissues from the tumor of Henrietta Lacks before she died. Since then, it was infinitely reproduced and became the cornerstone of modern medicine.
San Deigo Zoo Global announced the successful cloning of the Przewalski's horse, a critically endangered species. Conservation efforts of endangered species and the revival of extinct species may be possible through biotechnology and other reproductive technologies.
Oxford develops a new portable device that analyzes swab tests in about an hour. Weeks from now, the mass screening will possibly reach a new breakthrough.
A new research show how the remnants of ancient Hominid species helped modern humans in adapting to the environment and becoming resistant to diseases.
Experiments like this create a path to understanding how plants will adapt to extreme environments like the zero-gravity setting of the International Space Station and enable agribusinesses like Front Range Biosciences to breed crops that can withstand harsh environments and can adapt to climate change.
Three major universities are now engaged in a patent lawsuit to protect their rights to use genome editing technology called CRISPR-Cas9. The fallout will have far more impact than the simple settling of ownership and intellectual property rights, however; experts believe that CRISPR-Cas9 may be the most efficient route toward a ticking off items on a laundry list of amazing biotechnological discoveries.
