Prosthetic Heart Valves Design Inspired by Dragonfly Larvae
The dragonfly larva is the only insect that uses jet propulsion to move and the only arthropod known to use reciprocal jetting—inhaling and exhaling through the same orifice—for underwater breathing,” says Roh, the lead author of a paper on the larval jets that was published online by the journal Bioinspiration & Biomimeticson May 30.
Moderna Opens Manufacturing Facility for mRNA Therapeutics
the manufacturing facility was designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Moderna is limiting energy use with advanced energy metering, LED lighting, and systems designed to reduce water usage by up to 25%.
Ancient Biocrust’s Microorganisms Helped Seas With Nitrogen
Like our oceans, today’s continents are brimming with life. Yet billions of years ago, before the advent of plants, continents would have appeared barren. These apparently vacant land forms were believed to play no role in the early biochemical clockwork known as the nitrogen cycle, which most living things depend on for survival. Researchers discover ancient biocrusts played an important role in the nitrogen cycle.
Gold Nanoparticles Could Improve Solar Energy Storage
gold nanoparticles, coated with a semiconductor, can produce hydrogen from water over four times more efficiently than other methods – opening the door to improved storage of solar energy and other advances that could boost renewable energy use and combat climate change, according to Rutgers University–New Brunswick researchers.
Water Evaporation Controlled by Graphene
The study, carried out by a team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Collaborative Innovation Center of Quantum Matter (Beijing), looked at the interactions of water molecules with various graphene-covered surfaces.
Kinesin Proteins Study New Doors Open for Cancer Drug Innovation
The research involved kinesin proteins: tiny, protein-based motors that interact with microtubules inside cells. The motors convert chemical energy into mechanical energy to generate the directional movements and forces necessary to sustain life. Microtubules are microscopic tubular structures that have two distinct ends: a fast-growing plus end and a slow-growing minus ends. Microtubules help make up a cell’s skeleton.
Herpes Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease
“It was as long ago as 1991 when we discovered that, in many elderly people infected with HSV1, the virus is present also in the brain, and then in 1997 that it confers a strong risk of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain of people who have a specific genetic factor.”
Neural Circuits Controlled By Sound Waves
In the maze of our brains, there are various pathways by which neural signals travel. These pathways can go awry in patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Researchers have developed new therapeutic strategies to more precisely target neural pathways involved in these conditions, but they often require surgery.
Gene Editing Therapy Made Safer With New CRISPR Technique
Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin took an important step toward safer gene editing cures for life-threatening disorders, from cancer to HIV to Huntington’s disease, by developing a technique that can spot editing mistakes a popular tool known as CRISPR makes to an individual’s genome. The research appears today in the journal Cell.
Immune Cells Boosted by Nanoparticles
By developing nanoparticle “backpacks” that hold immune-stimulating drugs, and attaching them directly to T cells, the MIT engineers showed in a study of mice that they could enhance those T cells’ activity without harmful side effects. In more than half of the treated animals, tumors disappeared completely.
Biotechnology Innovation Platform Launched by HKU
Biotechnology Innovation Platform Launch expected to become a national-level technology startup incubator. It aims to host at least 50 spinoff companies and commercialize the results of at least 10 HKU research projects within five years. The platform will focus on key areas including cancer treatment, medical devices and infectious disease treatment.

Since the first DNA cloning experiments almost a half century ago, biotechnology techniques such as genetic engineering have developed to allow for the creation of engineered biological molecules. The biotechnology field focuses on designing and innovating new and different biological microorganisms and cells, constantly finding ways to create new gene formations and figure out how they work. The research and development of gene formations often happens in transgenic animals and plants. The biotechnology revolution has brought on an abundance of commercial applications that include gene cloning, directed mutagenesis, DNA sequencing, RNA interference, biomolecule labeling and detection, and nucleic acid amplification.
