It started with a trip to a farmers market. Researchers from Oregon State University spotted packets of Pacific dulse, a reddish marine seaweed typically sold as a snack or salad ingredient, and wondered: could this ocean vegetable double as a scaffold for growing human heart cells? The answer, published this week in the journal Biointerphases, is a resounding yes. After stripping away the seaweed's own cells and leaving behind only its structural skeleton, the team successfully grew human cardiomyocytes (the muscle cells that power your heartbeat) on the repurposed marine scaffold.

Scientists have found an unlikely new material for growing tissue: Seaweed. The ocean plant, best known for wrapping sushi or floating along the shore, may soon help doctors repair hearts and reduce animal testing. In a study published Oct. 21 in Biointerphases, researchers...

In Biointerphases, a Hiroshima University researcher closely examines the light-emitting organ in a bioluminescent deep-sea fish to reveal layers of guanine platelets that do more than just reflect the light — they scatter the light in complex ways. The platelets are needle-shaped and clustered locally around the light organs, and when light hits the guanine crystals, their shape causes light scattering. Knowing this could provide insights into highly efficient biomimetic designs that maximize
