Constructing Living Buildings: A Review of Relevant Technologies for a Novel Application of Biohybrid Robotics

This research explores how we could create buildings that are partially alive by combining robots with living organisms like plants and material-depositing animals. Living buildings could offer several advantages over traditional construction, including self-repair capabilities, improved structural performance over time, and environmental benefits. Here’s how this research could impact everyday life: • Future buildings could be more sustainable and environmentally friendly by incorporating living materials that naturally grow and adapt • Structures could repair themselves when damaged, reducing maintenance costs and extending building lifespans • Living buildings could help reduce urban heat and support local ecosystems by incorporating natural biological processes • Construction costs could potentially be reduced by having buildings that partially construct themselves through guided biological growth • Buildings could become more resilient to harsh environments through the natural adaptation capabilities of living organisms

In Vivo Toxicity of Bioreactor-Grown Biomass and Exopolysaccharides from Malaysian Tiger Milk Mushroom Mycelium for Potential Future Health Applications

Scientists tested the safety of extracts from the Malaysian tiger milk mushroom grown in laboratory conditions. This mushroom has traditionally been used to treat breathing problems like asthma. Using zebrafish embryos as test subjects, they found that the mushroom extracts were safe at therapeutic doses, supporting their potential use in future medicines. Impact on everyday life: – Could lead to new natural treatments for asthma and breathing problems – Provides a safer alternative to current steroid-based asthma medications – Demonstrates the value of traditional medicines when scientifically validated – Opens possibilities for sustainable production of natural medicines – Could reduce healthcare costs through natural therapeutic alternatives
