Tufts University School of Engineering researchers have demonstrated silk-based implantable optics that offer significant improvement in tissue imaging while simultaneously enabling photo thermal therapy, administering drugs and monitoring drug delivery. The devices also lend themselves to a variety of other biomedical functions.
Elektron Technology is launching a new, easy-to-use macular pigment screener (MPS II) that can quickly identify those most at risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Professor José Miguel Soria, a member of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera, has co-directed with Professor Manuel Monleón of the Universitat Politècnica de València a study on the compatibility of polymeric biomaterials in the brain and its effectiveness to favour neuroregeneration in areas with some kind of damage or brain injury.
The printing of three-dimensional tissue has taken a major step forward with the creation of a novel hybrid printer that simplifies the process of creating implantable cartilage.
Bio-based polymers have been largely limited to specialized niche applications, but a new analysis from Lux Research finds that the top markets for bio-based materials are largely the same ones currently dominated by petro-based materials.
Air Products’ PRISM® Membrane technology is enabling vehicles to run on methane at quasar energy group’s biomethane refueling facility in Columbus, Ohio. PRISM® PB Membrane modules are the key component of quasar’s biofueling plant, which uses anaerobic digestion to convert biogas generated from waste products into purified biomethane. The purified methane produced by quasar is currently fueling 25-50 municipal trucks, fleet vehicles, and non-commercial CNG vehicles every day.
Bioengineers at Harvard have developed a gel-based sponge that can be molded to any shape, loaded with drugs or stem cells, compressed to a fraction of its size, and delivered via injection. Once inside the body, it pops back to its original shape and gradually releases its cargo, before safely degrading.
After cellulose, xylan is the most abundant biomass material on Earth, and therefore represents an enormous potential source of stored solar energy for the production of advance biofuels. A major roadblock, however, has been extracting xylan from plant cell walls. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have taken a significant step towards removing this roadblock by identifying a gene in rice plants whose suppression improves both the extraction of xylan and the overall release of the sugars needed to make biofuels.
The University of Nottingham has been awarded funding of £2.9m to help make low-carbon fuel.
