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. 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. Natural Products Made in a Test Tube Researchers have developed a new technique to synthesize drugs faster. 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?
