One unique sample, goose poop collected at a local park, had a bacterium that showed antibiotic activity and contained a novel compound that slowed the growth of human melanoma and ovarian cancer cells in lab tests. Microbes supporting the production of more metabolic energy could be key to the evolution of large brains. In his sustainable aviation course, aerospace engineering professor Phil Ansell asked, “What does sustainability look like integrated to a system engineering process?” One of his student's answer became a new definition of sustainable aviation and a framework for achieving it. Mayo Clinic's Center for Individualized Medicine has achieved a significant milestone with its Tapestry study, generating the clinic's largest-ever collection of exome data, which include genes that code for proteins — key to understanding health and disease. As a proof-of-concept approach, the team pasted hydrogels with varying amounts of silver onto 800-year-old pieces of wood from the Nanhai One shipwreck, which was discovered off China’s south coast. A team of researchers from Penn State have developed a novel bioprinting technique that uses spheroids, which are clusters of cells, to create complex tissue.
