(Natural News) Japanese and Dutch researchers demonstrated a new technique to extract an important plastic-making chemical from non-edible plant matter in large quantities. Their method of getting furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from a renewable source of material could displace the fossil fuel equivalent that is used to make plastic bottles and other plastic products. There is […]

(Natural News) Broken bones take long periods of time to heal because growing new tissue requires a lot of energy. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have come up with a way to supercharge the regeneration process: a citrate-based biomaterial that provides stem cells with the energy boost they need. Citrate is naturally found in bones and citrus […]
