Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

The core iron oxide–oligonucleotide complex is further coated with dextran, a glucose polymer, to protect the oligonucleotides from degradation and to provide overall stability to the particle.

Although glucose transporters are also used in other organs, such as muscles or the spleen, the boost in the brain obtained by using polymer micelles and glycaemic control is dramatic. That’s ...

E. coli bacteria could be used to create biodegradable plastics, reports a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology. The engineered bacterial system described in the study may help in the production ...

Plastics are deeply woven into modern life, valued for their strength, clarity, flexibility, and affordability. However, the production and disposal of these materials pose serious environmental ...
