Hebrew Univ. study: One-fifth of pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine harbor cancer mutations acquired in culture.
The researchers show that 22% of the samples analyzed appeared to have at least one cancer-related mutation, and at least 70% of those were acquired throughout their propagation in culture.

Penn State researchers have discovered that a bacterial protein can selectively bind to different rare earth elements, offering a new and more efficient way to harvest and purify these essential components of modern technologies
Rare earth elements, like neodymium and dysprosium, are a critical component to almost all modern technologies, from smartphones to hard drives, but they are notoriously hard to separate from the Earth's crust and from one another. Scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria can select between different rare earth elements, using the ability of a bacterial protein to bind to another unit of itself, or 'dimerize,' when it is bound to certain rare earths, but prefer to remain a single unit, or 'monomer,' when bound to others.
