eBriefing
Organizers: Anthony Atala (Wake Forest University), Stacie Bloom (New York Academy of Sciences), Yilin Cao (Shanghai Jiao Tong University), Anita Chong (The University of Chicago), Stefanie Dimmeler (University of Frankfurt), Michael P. Sheetz (Columbia University), Qiming Zhan (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences), Alex Zhang (Sanofi Aventis), Chunhua Zhao (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences)
A recent international conference in Beijing focused on exciting developments in fields like stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and xenotransplantation. A new eBriefing documents the event.
eBriefing
Speakers: Eric Dufresne (Yale University) and Steven P. Bitler (Landec Corporation)
As a new eBriefing reports, researchers are developing "intelligent" materials that respond to changes in their environment in ways that solve engineering challenges. Products like "smart" food packaging have even begun entering the market.
