A team of scientists at the University of California, Irvine, have figured out a way to turn human urine into a key material ...

There may be a new use for that urine you've been so thoughtlessly flushing. Scientists say it could be an alternate source of a valuable bone- and tooth-repair material, with a little help from a ...

Genetically modified yeast transforms human urine into hydroxyapatite, a valuable biomaterial for bone repair, enhancing ...

UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), have used biology to convert human urine into a valuable ...

The key to this breakthrough is a synthetic yeast nicknamed “osteoyeast.” Inspired by mammalian bone cells called osteoblasts ...

Scientists have developed a method to recycle human urine into hydroxyapatite, a material widely used in dental and bone ...

A key chemical in urine can help make a high-value mineral for use in medicine, construction, and more — cheaply and ...

As these cells are not suitable for large-scale production of hydroxyapatite, the researchers turned to synthetic yeast cells that carry out a similar process. The study found that this method can ...

Engineers and scientists have developed a yeast platform that turns human urine from wastewater into a high-value material.<br /><br /> ...

The reuse of human urine offers opportunities for sustainable resource management, water conservation and environmental ...

Figure 1: Immunization with recombinant yeast elicits antigen-specific, T-cell protective, cytotoxic and proliferative responses. Figure 2: DCs internalize yeast and efficiently prime MHC class I ...
