Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

What if you could create household objects, say biogarmints, kitchen appliances, or blinds and curtains

that powered themselves using the sun, were fully recyclable,

100% biodegradable, sequestered carbon just by existing, filtered toxins out of the air,

and were also alive. Dr. Maria Obantham at Delft University and a postdoc researcher in her lab,

Dr. Srikan Basubmeranian,

have gotten one step closer to making that a reality. They have created a 3D printed

photosynthetic material made out of algae. Here is Dr. Aubentam. Yeah, we were interested in

a 3D printing living material that's made of

microalgae. And there were a couple examples of 3D printed algae material already out

there. But we were interested in making one that would be enough mechanically robust to be

used in real applications. because a lot of these

material are based on hydrogel, which tend to be very fragile.

You might not have heard of hydrogels, but you've certainly used them.

Wet disposable baby diapers, chia pudding, toy water beads, all of these are hydrogels that you might have around your house.
