This schematic shows how cellular milk products are produced.
Cellular milk is made by harvesting udder cells from a cow, then growing those cells in a large tank, or bioreactor. Eventually, the cells are encouraged to secrete milk that can be drawn off for use. This overview shows the production process being developed by Canada-based Opalia.

Isostrain and Isostress of a composite material. In isostrain each component has a uniform deformation, while in isostress each material has a uniform stress. The stress and strain, for isostrain and isostress, respectively, are in general “additive” but depend on the moduli and volume fraction of each component.

David Goldenberg came to Geisel with a BS in psychobiology from UCLA and research experience in genetics, psychopharmacology, and bioengineering. At Dartmouth, he was first author of a review article on acute pancreatitis and received a travel award to the Pediatric Academic Society to present original research on managing chronic pain in children. He also participated in a redesign of the Geisel gastroenterology course; was active in Lifelines, the medical school's literary journal; and served as president of the Geisel chapter of the Maimonides Society, a national Jewish medical society. And along the way, he carved out time to play blues and rock guitar. He will go on to a residency in internal medicine at Tufts and hopes eventually to do a fellowship in gastroenterology.

A brief meeting between a human and a pentapod businessbeing.
The pentapods are an alien race from GDW's classic roleplaying game 2300AD. Amphibious, radially symmetric, bioengineered and somewhat non-individual, they are definitely not people dressed up in funny suits. But they understand trade.

A three-dimensional, biodegradable, synthetic scaffold was molded into the precise shape of a hip joint. The scaffold was covered with cartilage made from stem cells taken from fat beneath the skin. The stem cells were seeded onto the scaffold, and coaxed into turning into cartilage cells, using a cocktail of growth factors. The stem cells regenerated cartilage throughout the woven scaffold, while the scaffold slowly dissolved. The newly formed cartilage can be used to completely resurface an arthritic joint. The engineered cartilage also releases anti-inflammatory molecules to keep arthritis at bay. This process may lead to treatments for hip osteoarthritis that avoid the need for extensive hip replacement surgery.

University of California San Diego bioengineering PhD student Arianna Miano in the lab of professor Jeff Hasty.
Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have redesigned how harmless E. coli bacteria “talk” to each other. The new genetic circuit could become a useful new tool for synthetic biologists who, as a field, are looking for ways to better control the bacteria they engineer to perform all sorts of tasks, including drug delivery, bioproduction of valuable compounds, and environmental sensing.

Dr. George Pantalos, bioengineering and cardiovascular and thoracic surgery professor with the UofL Cardiovascular Innovation Institute, in September took four UofL students to Houston where they conducted more tests in zero-gravity on the astrosurgery device he is developing with researchers at Carnegie Melon. This was the third time since 2012 that Dr. Pantalos and his research team tested the device in zero-G. The device is the Aqueous Immersion Surgical System – a water- and airtight-device that isolates surgical incisions and controls bleeding in a zero-gravity environment. The device seeks to control the escape of blood and bodily fluids in this environment, currently impossible to do. The ultimate goal is to develop a system that long-range space flights (such as to Mars) could use if surgery is needed onboard the spacecraft. However, applications on Earth for the device would be when sterile conditions are hard to come by, such as in war zones or areas where medical facilities are not present.

The Khasis have developed a means of crossing the fast-flowing streams that separate their villages by taking advantage of the growth habits of the native rubber tree (Ficus elastica), which is indigenous to the region and usually grows among rocks next to water. The tree, which is well adapted to the local conditions of heavy rainfall and high erosion, is epiphytic (growing on other plants) in its juvenile stages, and its secondary roots always grow towards the light. It’s this characteristic that the Khasis exploit, training these roots to spread laterally along hollowed-out trunks of betel palm that have been placed across the stream.
Once the roots have been trained across the stream bed, they anchor in the soil of the opposite bank, providing the foundations for a living bridge. Usually, several roots are threaded together for strength, while others provide handrails and supports for longer spans. Flat stones from the stream bed are used to fill gaps in the bridge floor and, in time, these are engulfed by woody growth and become part of the fabric of the bridge itself.
A root bridge takes around 20 years to become fully functional. Once complete, however, it will probably last for several hundred years and, unlike its non-living counterparts, will actually increase in strength with age.
Known in the Khasi language as jingkieng deingjri (‘bridge of the rubber tree’), the bridges may be anywhere from ten to 30 metres in span. Unlike most artificial structures, they are able to withstand the high level of soil erosion brought about by monsoon rains and, being living material rather than dead wood, are resistant to the ravages of termites.

The Chicken Fighting Association, or CFA, has become a major part of society in the year 2060. With the chicken flu of 2047 wiping out most real chickens and the breeding and keeping of chickens now prohibited, the CFA has stepped in to fill the void with their robotic chicken fights. These robots, controlled by advanced AI, are programmed to act like the now extinct chickens of the past and are subject to strict restrictions on their construction.
The chicken flu of 2047 was a devastating virus that swept through the global chicken population, killing millions of birds and crippling the poultry industry. The virus, believed to have originated in Asia, spread rapidly due to the high concentration of chickens in factory farms and the ease of transportation of live birds. The symptoms of the virus were severe, causing respiratory distress, organ failure, and ultimately death. Many people lost relatives to the flu, making the sight of chickens unbearable for many, but the CFA has been able to bring back the excitement of chicken fighting in a new form.
The CFA has become a major source of entertainment for people all over the world, with fans tuning in to watch the robotic chickens furiously fight each other for the title of Golden Chicken. The fights are a sight to behold, as the robots are programmed to act like real chickens, displaying their natural aggression and determination to win. The CFA has also become a major source of income for many people as they are able to bet on the fights, with large sums of credits being exchanged during the event. The CFA has also become a worldwide spectacle, with people tuning in from all over the world to watch the fights.
The two most accomplished chicken fighters in the CFA are "Cluck Norris" and "Fowl Fury". Cluck Norris is a veteran of the CFA, known for his aggressive fighting style and lightning-fast pecks. Fowl Fury, on the other hand, is a newer addition to the CFA, but has quickly made a name for himself with his agility and ability to dodge his opponent's attacks. The fight between Cluck Norris and Fowl Fury was highly anticipated and did not disappoint. From the opening bell, the two robots were locked in a fierce battle, with Cluck Norris relying on his brute strength and Fowl Fury on his agility. The fight was back and forth, with both robots landing powerful blows. But in the end, it was Fowl Fury who emerged victorious, using his agility to dodge Cluck Norris's final attack and land the winning blow.
It's hard to believe that in the past, real chickens were used for fighting, a practice that seems barbaric in today's times. But it was a part of culture in the past and the CFA has managed to keep this tradition alive in a new and more technologically advanced form. The future of chicken fighting may seem bleak, but thanks to the CFA and their robotic chickens, the tradition lives on. Despite the emotional weight that chickens carry for many people, the excitement of the fights is undeniable, making the CFA a must-watch for many.

Researchers led by UC San Diego built a device that sorts and separates cancer cells from the same tumor based on how “sticky” they are. They found that less sticky cells migrate and invade other tissues more than their stickier counterparts, and have genes that make tumor recurrence more likely.

A team of researchers has developed a system that uses ultrasound to remotely activate genetic processes inside CAR-T cells so that they can target and kill cancer cells. This work addresses one of the major challenges of of CAR-based immunotherapy: non-specific targeting of CAR-T cells against nonmalignant tissues. Researchers say this work could ultimately lead to more precise and efficient CAR-T cell therapies that can better target malignant over benign tissues.
