The focus of BIOTECH CHINA will be on biotechno- logical applications and marketable products in the key segments of medicine, pharmaceuticals, nutriti- on, agriculture, industry and environm ental protec- tion, as well as laboratory equipment, bioenginee- ring and services. BIOTECH CHINA will be opening its gates for business for the fourth time from June 2 to 4, 2010. A well-established meeting-place for the biotech community, the event in Shanghai offers Chinese companies in the biotech and life sciences sector, and their counterparts from across the world, excellent opportunities to establish new business contacts on the vibrant Chinese market.

K. Lu from Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published a paper in Science to “The Future of Metals”. The Boeing
787 Dreamliner is mostly made from carbon fiber- reinforced polymeric composites (50% by weight, up from 12% in the Boeing 777). Aluminum usage has dropped to 20% (versus 50% in the 777). Lu discusses the reasons behind the trend that the share of metals in engineering materials has been diminishing, and which applications are likely to stay in the domain of metals. © Science

Using a nanoparticle core, Jie Song, PhD, assistant professor of orthopedics & physical rehabilitation and cell biology at the University of Massachusetts
Medical School, and postdoctoral fellow Jianwen Xu, have fashioned a new type of tissue and bone
scaffolding polymer that addresses a number of long-standing limitations.
