Faster Wound Healing with GMO Maggots
Sterile, lab-raised green bottle fly larvae are used for maggot debridement therapy (MDT), most commonly for non-healing wounds, such as diabetic ulcers. Maggots promote healing by cleaning the wound, remove dead tissue, and secrete antimicrobial…

Metabolic Mojo of Cancer Cell Proliferation
Metabolic studies investigating the mechanics of cancer cell proliferation have been critical to understanding resource allocation driving tumorigenesis. Generally, proliferating cells eschew efficient energy production in favour of metabolic…
