A team of Swiss researchers has discovered a surprising variety of bacteria in glacier streams worldwide, which are now under threat due to melting glaciers caused by climate change. Led by Tom Battin from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne…
Loyal, a biotech startup in the U.S., plans to launch a daily pill, LOY-002, aimed at extending healthy life for dogs by at least one year. This research may also provide insights into human longevity. Meanwhile, the Dog Aging Project,…
As chocolate remains a festive staple, a Swiss startup, Food Brewer, is innovating with bioreactor technology to produce cocoa powder as an alternative to traditional cocoa bean cultivation. Under the guidance of biotechnology expert Adriana Gallego, they extract cocoa cells…
The article explores the concept of chiral life, where molecules exhibit a preferred directional spin, affecting their biological properties. While DNA spirals in a right-handed manner, amino acids turn left. Researchers can now create mirror-image molecules, which could function as…
Researchers at Reutlingen University are making strides in creating 3D-printed meat alternatives that are free from animal cruelty and antibiotics. This innovative approach to meat production involves cultivating fat cells from slaughterhouse byproducts. While the technology shows promise, challenges remain,…
Researchers at Radboudumc have developed a revolutionary microscope that allows for real-time visualization of biological processes, including atherosclerosis development. This world-first technology combines high detail imaging with live cellular activities, previously thought incompatible. Using graphene to protect biological samples from…
