2020 Green Purchasing Awards announced The pandemic has been an opportunity to reevaluate air travel policies, according to Green Purchasing Award recipient Megan Ryerson. A shift in kitchen waste streams designed by Award recipient Cheryl Hickey will stop approximately 12,000 cups from reaching a landfill each year. The University of Pennsylvania’s 2020 Green Purchasing Awards, presented by Penn Purchasing Services and Penn Sustainability, were recently announced during the award recipients’ virtual staff meetings. Ryerson is the UPS Chair of Transportation and asso...

Ruby Washington is poised to make her mark in bioengineering Data show that healthcare disparities plague the Black community in America, making it harder to receive adequate treatment and care. But rather than just accepting the status quo, Ruby Washington, senior in the Department of Bioengineering, is dedicated to leveraging her interest in biomedicine to change outcomes and systems. “I feel that I have a duty to help my community and make the healthcare system better for people who look like me,” she says. That’s a challenge well suited to a woman who is both fascinated by the inter...

New Target Discovered That Stops Progress of Osteoarthritis by Pooja Shete on  January 20, 2021 at 12:38 AM Currently there is no cure osteoarthritis. A group of scientists have discovered a new method by which a simple knee injection can potentially stop the disease's effects. The researchers showed that by targeting specific protein pathway in mice, they can be put into overdrive and halt the cartilage degeneration over time. Using these findings, they were able to show that by treating mice with surgery-induced knee cartilage degeneration through nanomedicine could drama...

Scientists discover new treatment target for osteoarthritis-like knee cartilage degeneration There is currently no cure for osteoarthritis, but a group of scientists believe they've discovered a method through which a simple knee injection could potentially stop the disease's effects. These researchers showed that they could target a specific protein pathway in mice, put it into overdrive and halt cartilage degeneration over time. Building on that finding, they were able to show that treating mice with surgery-inducedknee cartilage degeneration through the same pathway via the state of the ar...
