Developing Cultivated Meat from Pluripotent Stem Cells
The global demand for sustainable, ethical, and safe meat sources has surged in recent years, driven by concerns over environmental impact, animal welfare, and food security. Traditional livestock farming, while historically the primary means of meat production, faces significant challenges including land use, greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption and public health risks. Advances in stem […] Read More >
From Food to Medicine – Green and Safe Solution for Infection and Spoilage Based on the Natural S100 Proteins
We are leveraging the natural S100 proteins as a green, broad-spectrum antimicrobial platform. These can be efficiently recombinantly produced via fermentation and exhibit potent antibacterial and antifungal activity while also modulating inflammation. These proteins can be formulated as coatings or additives to prevent microbial infections and spoilage in medical, dental, and food applications. This technology […] Read More >
SLOW RELEASE OF A SYNTHETIC AUXIN INDUCES ADVENTITIOUS ROOT FORMATION
The ability to propagate plants efficiently is crucial for agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. Adventitious root formation, the process by which roots develop from non-root tissues, is a key factor in successful plant propagation. However, many woody plant species exhibit low rooting success, presenting a significant challenge for growers. Traditional rooting hormones, while effective, often have […] Read More >
Development Of Improved Immunosuppressant Targeting Calcineurin-NFAT Protein-Protein Interaction Via Small Molecule Drugs
Modern drugs are molecules that interfere with the activity of a specific protein related to a target disease. Within this realm, new molecules capable of interfering with protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are in the heart of modern drug discovery. However, the discovery or de-novo design of new molecules is often hampered by the lack of structural […] Read More >
MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR LARVAL FISH REARING
Most marine fish hatch from mm-size eggs irrespective of adult size, and suffer prodigious mortality (rates of 70-90% of the brood) in the first weeks of their lives. This mortality makes the rearing of larval (very young) fish costly, and an impediment for introducing new species to the growth cycle. We propose an automated system, […] Read More >
A Wheat Leaf and Stipe Rust Resistance Gene
Background Rusts are a group of plant diseases that are caused by certain types of plant pathogenic fungi. Three types of rust diseases, namely leaf, stem and stripe rusts, are the most widespread diseases of wheat, each causing great yield losses globally; Modern wheat cultivars contain many resistance (R) genes that have been used to […] Read More >
A Novel Antibacterial Bio-Treatment for USE In Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the globe’s fastest growing food production sector. Diseases are a primary constraint to the culture of many aquatic species and as a result, there is widespread use of anti-microbial veterinary medicines across the globe. The medicines pose a threat to human health because of the possible emergence of resistant strains and the transfer […] Read More >
An agricultural mobile robot guided by sonar and vision for crops and yield estimation
Using bio-inspired sensing methods (from bats) for crop estimation, plant examination and plant classification. The system is based on a mobile robotic platform with vision and sonar sensing that is doing the agricultural tests.The NeedAn agricultural manager‘s success depends on his ability to estimate accurately the status of the crops. Although it is assumed that […] Read More >
