“While it’s relatively easy to grow animal cells for mass food production you need to be able to grow them on something cheap, edible and that preferably provides a structure that resembles real meat, ...

Nanomedicine. 2013;8(2):297-298. The authors would like to thank the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for funding a DTA studentship for JM Dugan. The authors have no other ...

Bacteria-produced leather is already an eco-friendly alternative to its cow-derived counterpart, but it could soon be even eco-friendlier. Scientists have derived a method of getting the microbes to ...

Researchers have modified certain bacteria with UV light so that they produce more cellulose. The basis for this is a new approach with which the researchers generate thousands of bacterial variants ...

A new study tests whether spent yeast from breweries can supply cellulose scaffolds that support lab-grown meat production.

The scaffold proved worthy for your next lab-cultured burger. The cellulose grown on brewing waste was similar in its texture ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as a versatile biomaterial pivotal to advances in tissue engineering and composite fabrication. Owing to its intrinsic high purity, excellent biocompatibility, and ...

Researchers from a couple of American universities are corralling bacteria with shear force, giving the tiny organisms renewed purpose. As a result, biodegradable bacterial cellulose can be ...

The Global Market for Next-Generation Natural Fibers 2026-2036 provides comprehensive analysis and forecasts for the rapidly expanding sustainable materials sector, covering plant ...

Polybion completes full-cycle venture with one of Mexico’s leading pension funds while nonprofit Drip by Drip teams with Eco ...

Scientists have used genetically engineered bacteria to simultaneously create and color fabrics in a one-pot method. Compared with current methods that rely on fossil fuels, the new technique offers a ...
