Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with many other sciences, such as chemistry, physics and mathematics, which help us to better understand cells, genetics, evolution and the interaction of many living systems.
Synthetic biology, a rapidly growing area of science, aims to take it all to another level, drawing on innovative techniques from biology and engineering, including the use of DNA sequencing and synthesis.

The UD spacesuit shell textiles are treated with multiple nanotechnologies, including shear thickening fluid, a revolutionary material co-developed by UD and STF Technologies that normally behaves like a liquid, but becomes a solid under impact, a useful feature when puncture resistance is a priority. The hope is that beyond puncture protection, the STF-infused spacesuit textiles will offer greater dust deterrence, increasing the material’s lifespan in space.

Mimicking the complex structure and function of the lung in a lab setting is inherently challenging. The UD-developed 3D lung model is unique in several ways. First, the model breathes in the same cyclic motion as an actual lung. That’s key, Fromen said. The model also contains lattice structures to represent the entire volume and surface area of a lung.

You might think of tuberculosis (TB) as a disease of the past, similar to polio or smallpox. In fact, it is the world’s most infectious killer, according to the World Health Organization, causing an estimated 1.5 million deaths annually. Up to one-fifth of the global population, including 13 million Americans, have TB, although most cases are in a dormant, or inactive, form.
TB is treatable with antibiotics, but up to 5% of infections are now resistant to drugs.

If you or anyone close to you is among the world’s estimated 100 million people who have survived a stroke — a disease that causes blood clots or ruptured blood vessels, disrupting blood flow in the brain — you probably already know that strategic, effective rehabilitative care is critical for the best possible recovery.
