Biodegradable plastic: I found this interesting because instead of plastic harming the environment we have now found a way to protect the environment and still meet our day to day needs.
Epogen: An inject-able medicine for individuals with anemia that acts the the hormone that produces hemoglobin in order to improve red blood cell level count and oxygen transportation
Cancer spit test: instead of using biopsies a device designed by researchers at the University of California detects oral cancer from a drop of saliva. Proteins that are associated with cancer cells react with dyes on the sensor, emitting fluorescent light that can be detected with a microscope
Premise 75- effectively treats a termite or ant infestation using an organic pesticide. This product is an alternative to hazardous chemicals that could also be used to treat termites
A relatively new creation in the medical field of biotech are artificial lymph nodes. Created by scientists from Riken Institute in Japan. These produce immune cells for fighting off sickness. They could replace diseased lymph nodes or add to the already existing ones. This is interesting because it can definitely help the people who have weaker immune systems.

ReplyDeleteI found this interesting because I thought it was amazing that something that could act as a hormone was developed

ReplyDeleteDoctors can also make them focus on a certain illness to cure it. Possibly even cancer or HIV
