Synergistic Nootropic and Caffeine Combinations for Cognitive Enhancement Beverages
University of Michigan researchers have identified five natural nootropics with distinct mechanisms of action and are using human-derived neuron-like cells with calcium sensors to screen for synergistic cognitive enhance...
Polyols and cellulose fibers from biomass residues for sustainable polyurethane foam cushions
A research platform that converts crop residues (corn stover, wheat, flax, alfalfa, rice straw) into cellulose fibers and lignin-derived polyols using ionic liquid fractionation, enabling replacement of petroleum-based p...
Method to remove non-target nucleic acids for enhanced pathogen detection in food and clinical samples
A rapid, inexpensive, and PCR-compatible methodology for selectively removing human DNA, dead bacterial DNA, and non-viable cell DNA while preserving target bacterial DNA. Validated in blood, urine, and sputum, with prop...
Sorting at scale to advance quality in post-consumer recycled bulk food handles
Research initiative to evaluate whether isolating and reusing plastic packaging handles from warehouse retailers as pure resin streams yields higher value than homogenized post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics. The proje...
