------------------------------------------------------------
Researchers from Kyushu University and the University of Pittsburgh
have created miniature human livers exhibiting fatty liver disease
through the genetic engineering of skin cells.

*Adaptation to life in cattle may be driving E. coli to develop
harmful features

“To develop the most effective preventive measures, we need a deep
understanding of the source and living conditions of the bacteria,”
says Yoshitoshi Ogura, associate professor at Kyushu University’s
Department of Bacteriology, who led the research.

*Thermoelectric performance of graphene gets a boost
http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/researches/view/137
------------------------------------------------------------
The collaborative work by Kyushu University, Tohoku University,
and Purdue University not only demonstrates the ability to separately
tune electrical and thermal conductivity at an unprecedented level
but also indicates that graphene is a very promising non-toxic,
low-cost, light-weight, and flexible thermoelectric material for powering
small-scale smart devices with heat.
