Mice engineered to produce excess amounts of a protein involved in blood vessel and skin cell growth are super healers, suggesting a new approach to treating wounds in humans.
The mice were engineered to produce a growth factor, called angiopoietin-related growth factor, in their skin cells.
Researchers from Keio University and Kumamoto University in Japan found that [...]
Alcohol Driven Fuel Cells.

In this month’s Popular Science a new type of fuel cell has been presented that solves the problem of storing hydrogen which can be dangerous if handled improperly. This fuel cell uses alcohol and enzymes to secure hydrogen for the fuel cell. As the alcohol comes into contact with the enzymes at the anode a [...]
