Unlocking Photosynthesis Could Meet Growing Food Demands
Scientists have solved the structure of one of the key components of photosynthesis, a discovery that could lead to photosynthesis being “redesigned” to achieve higher yields and meet urgent food security needs.

Stem Cell Transplants Used To Grow Fully Functional Lungs in Mice
Researchers at Columbia University were able to grow fully functional lungs in mouse embryos using transplanted stem cells. The findings suggest that it may be ultimately possible to use the technique to grow human lungs in animals for patients who need transplants and to study new lung treatments.

Illiteracy Linked to Tripled Dementia Risk
A study of nearly 1000 over 75s in North Manhattan has shown that adults with an inability to read or write have a nearly three-times great risk of having dementia.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Danica Rankic, Associate Principal Scientist, MSD to learn more about their process chemistry activities. She touches on the synthesis strategies impacting drug discovery and provides a snapshot of her upcoming talk, taking place next month.
Much can be discovered about a cell’s condition and function by measuring its mechanical properties such as deformability. I recently spoke with Daniel Klaue, CEO, ZELLMECHANIK DRESDEN, to learn more about the field of cell mechanics. In this interview, Daniel explains why it is important to measure cell mechanics, discusses a novel method of doing so, and highlights how this technology could benefit clinical applications.
