Humans can do lots of things that plants can't do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But plants have one major advantage over humans: They can make energy directly from the sun.

This process of converting solar light directly into usable energy, known as photosynthesis, may soon become an achievement that can be mimicked by humans to harness solar energy for storable, clean and efficient fuel. If this becomes a reality, it could potentially pave the way to clean energy. Sufficient energy hits the earth in the form of solar light in one hour to fulfill all the energy requirements of human civilization for a whole year.

When muscle is damaged, resident stem cells mediate the repair of the injured tissue. At the same time, circulating immune cells race to the site to aid the repair. The presence of these infiltrating immune cells at injury sites raises questions about their role in coordinating with muscle stem cells to build or regenerate muscle tissue.

The next generation of treatments for cancer may be found, not by scientists peering through microscopes, but by computer scientists crunching numbers. Thanks to unprecedented amounts of data, Purdue University researchers across multiple disciplines, including comparative pathobiology, are using innovative data science techniques to better understand the genetics and cellular biology of cancer cells and tumors allowing them to pioneer new diagnostic tools, generate novel therapeutic treatments, and significantly advance the fight against cancer. Some of these advances may even allow oncologists to harness a patient’s own immune system to fight off cancer.
