One result of the new research is that scientists will now be able to exploit the COMPcc portion of a polymer to wrap around a Vitamin D molecule in order to stimulate its tissue-regenerating power. Genetically engineered copolymers have applications in everything from artificial therapeutics, biocatalysts, scaffolds, and cells for medicine, to sustainable energy and environmental remediation.
NYU—Researchers are finding remarkable ways in which bioengineered paired macromolecules can be made to self-assemble, disassemble, and more—and then biodegrade when they’ve finished their work. Continue…

U. MICHIGAN (US)—In the search for an efficient way to understand the roles of different genes, researchers have developed a technology that allows two water-based liquids to mingle without mixing, much like oil and water. The “micropatterning” method could prove useful in biological experiments. (more…)
