Researchers at the University College London are transforming yeast leftover from brewing beer into edible "scaffolds" for cultivated meat — also known as lab-grown meat — thus offering a more ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as a versatile biomaterial pivotal to advances in tissue engineering and composite fabrication. Owing to its intrinsic high purity, excellent biocompatibility, and ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as a promising biopolymer across diverse sectors, ranging from biomedicine, food packaging, electronics, and textiles, ...

Bacteria produce materials that are of interest to humans, such as cellulose, silk and minerals. The advantage of producing bacteria in this way is that it is sustainable, takes place at room ...

Bacteria-produced leather is already an eco-friendly alternative to its cow-derived counterpart, but it could soon be even eco-friendlier. Scientists have derived a method of getting the microbes to ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Transitioning towards sustainable clothing practices is a must for ...

The field of bone tissue engineering (BTE) was a promising avenue for addressing bone injuries and defects by constructing artificial scaffolds with bionic functionalities. Due to its unique 3D ...

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...
