Super Glue for cells Scientists in Canada have made a super-strong cell membrane adhesive and used it to stick red blood cells together. The polymer, based on the phospholipid head group phosphatidyl choline, could be used to secure cells in particular positions for tissue engineering and wound closure. |

Materials for a sustainable future This multi-author volume edited by Letcher and Scott does an excellent job of explaining how we can make better use of available resources. It considers the dwindling of elemental sources, biomass and chemical feedstocks, and materials for energy and the built environment. |
