The heart, with its complex structural and functional characteristics, plays a critical role in sustaining life by pumping blood throughout the entire body to supply nutrients and oxygen. Engineered heart tissues have been introduced to reproduce heart functions to understand the pathophysiological properties of the heart and to test and develop potential therapeutics. Although numerous studies have been conducted in various fields to increase the functionality of heart tissue to be similar to reality, there are still many difficulties in reproducing the blood-pumping function of the heart.

Insect farming: A bioeconomy-based opportunity to revalorize plastic wastes.

Environ Sci Ecotechnol

January 2025

Global Centre for Environmental Remediation (GCER), College of Engineering, Science and Environment, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, 2308, Australia.

Managing plastic waste is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in the coming years. Current strategies-landfilling, incineration, and recycling-remain insufficient or pose significant environmental concerns, failing to address the growing volume of plastic residues discharged into the environment. Recently, increasing attention has focused on the potential of certain insect larvae species to chew, consume, and partially biodegrade synthetic polymers such as polystyrene and polyethylene, offering novel biotechnological opportunities for plastic waste management.

In overcoming the barrier of rapid Li transfer in lithium-ion batteries at extreme temperatures, the desolvation process and interfacial charge transport play critical roles. However, tuning the solvation structure and designing a kinetically stable electrode-electrolyte interface to achieve high-rate charging and discharging remain a challenge. Here, a lithium nonafluoro-1-butanesulfonate (NFSALi) additive is introduced to optimize stability and the robust solid electrolyte interface film (SEI), realizing a rapid Li transfer process and the structural integrity of electrode materials.

Age-related hearing loss affects one-third of the population over 65 years. However, the diverse pathologies underlying these heterogenous phenotypes complicate genetic studies. To overcome challenges associated with accurate phenotyping for older adults with hearing loss, we applied computational phenotyping approaches based on audiometrically measured hearing loss.
