Study reveals hidden 'chemical currency' fueling the ocean's carbon cycle
A new study, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Columbia University, identifies a diverse set of molecules released by marine phytoplankton that fuel microbial life and help drive Earth's carbon cycle. While scientists know that carbon is moved through an invisible network of phytoplankton and other microbes in the surface ocean, the specific compounds have long been a mystery. These compounds are small, chemically difficult to detect in salty seawater, and are rapidly consu…

More than 10,000 Americans who suffer from chronic liver disease are on a waitlist for a liver transplant,
-- but there are not enough donated organs for all of those patients.
Additionally, many people with liver failure aren’t eligible for a transplant if they are not healthy enough to tolerate the surgery.
To help those patients, MIT engineers have developed ⭐️ “mini livers” that could be injected into the body and take over the functions of the failing liver.
In a n…
