A Skin Test for Alzheimer's Disease Scientists aim to commercialize a test that detects an inflammatory marker in skin. Qteros thinks its microbe could cut production costs. Bacteria could make acrylic glass from sugar. Corn Primed for Making Biofuel Researchers genetically modify a crop to break down its own cellulose. Researchers engineer never-before-seen catalysts using a new computational technique. A Fountain of Youth in Mitochondria? A recently discovered cell survival switch could be key to increasing longevity. Putting the Spotlight on Tumors A new imaging system could help surgeons remove small but deadly traces of cancer. Cheaper, Cleaner Ethanol from Biotech Corn The genetically-modified plants break down their own cellulose, making it possible to use waste biomass to produce ethanol. Researchers have found a way to efficiently convert different human blood types into a neutral type that can be given to any patient. A new process turns the greenhouse gas into useful materials. A Portable Refinery Powered by Garbage Researchers have built and tested for the military a portable machine that efficiently turns waste into electricity. Another Risk Factor for Alzheimer's? Newly discovered variants in a key gene may indicate a modest risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. [1]
