Bacteria Can Make Infinitely Recyclable Plastic with Renewable Materials
A collaboration among experts at the Molecular Foundry, the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), and the Advanced Light Source has shown that the starting ingredients in an infinitely recyclable plastic known as poly(diketoenamine), or PDK, can be successfully made by microbes. The new approach shows that renewable, recyclable plastics are not only possible, but also outperform those from petrochemicals.

Genetic Background Influences Cancer Risk of Thirdhand Smoke Exposure
A new study investigating the effect of thirdhand smoke (THS) in a mouse model system specially designed to mimic the genetic diversity of human populations has shed new light on how genetic predispositions contribute to an individual’s cancer risk. This work is an instrumental step towards building a more realistic understanding of how tobacco smoke residue could impact cancer risk in people.
