A protein named after the famous Hollywood movie Rambo which was earlier thought to be causing death can in fact protect against heart failure, according to research from King’s College London. New research has identified a protein which could protect against heart failure, pointing the way to possible new treatments. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications.
Scientists have developed a novel technique to make production of biodegradable plastic cheaper and greener. The findings could help make the biodegradable plastic known as polylactic acid (PLA) a full-fledged alternative to cheaper traditional petroleum-based plastics. PLA is not yet considered a full alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, as it is costly to produce.
