The domestication of crops is a directed evolutionary process that has lasted for most of human history. It has allocated naturally occurring mutations that encode traits for higher production, better taste, and convenient cultivation. These traits can better manage...
Plasma Seed Coatings to Protect Crops Against Fungi
A trilayer plasma-deposited coating that encapsules maize to protect against infection by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum.
Living Machines: A Macrophage–Mg Hybrid Biomotor
Artificial biomotors for in vivo therapeutic applications.
The Risk of Microplastics: Plight or Hype?
Microplastics are synonymous with risks to health and the environment, but how much of this concern is actually justified?
Stem Cell-Macrophage Interactions with Ferumoxytol and Ferumoxytol-derived Nanoparticles
“Off the shelf” allogeneic stem cell transplants and stem cell nano‐composites are being used for the treatment of degenerative bone diseases. However, major and minor histocompatibility antigens of therapeutic cell transplants can be recognized as foreign and lead to their rejection by the host immune system.
Scalable Method to Generate Human iPSC-Derived Macrophages
Protocol for iPSC-derived macrophages with excellent functional and transcriptomic fidelity.
Microplasma-Synthesized Magnetic Nanoparticles in a Hydrogel
In situ synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles in a hydrogel and fabrication of a magnetic thermoresponsive hydrogel composite.
Understanding Microplastics
Reserchers intend to develop a market-ready process for efficient sample collection in water.
A Mesh in the Fight against Microplastics
GKD introduced an optimized dutch weave for use in sewage plants that reliably retains microplastics >6 µm thanks to its slot-shaped pore geometry.
