Replacing human organs could get as easy as assembling electronics!
Mrs. Pooja Chavda Lecturer, Biotechnology Engg. Dept.
VVP Engineering College – Rajkot
Scientists at Brown University, Rhode Island Hospital, and the Warren Alpert Medical School
say they have developed a new instrument that might eventually build replacement human
organs the way electronics are assembled today: with precise picking and placing of parts.
In this case, the parts are not resistors and capacitors, but 3-D micro tissues containing
thousands to millions of living cells that need a constant stream of fluid to bring them nutrients
and to remove waste. The researchers have published a paper (“Bio-Pick, Place, and Perfuse: A
New Instrument for 3D Tissue Engineering”) in Tissue Engineering Part C, published by Mary
Ann Liebert.
“We have developed an innovative instrument, the Bio-Pick, Place, and Perfuse (Bio-P3),
which picks up large complex multicellular building parts, transports them to a build area, and
precisely places the parts at desired locations while perusing the parts,” wrote the investigators.
These assembled parts subsequently fuse to form a larger contiguous tissue construct.
Because it allows assembly of larger structures from small living micro tissue components
future versions of BioP3 may finally make possible the manufacture of whole organs such as
livers, pancreases, or kidneys, according to Jeffrey Morgan, Ph.D., a Brown University
bioengineer and founder of Micro Tissues, which sells such culture-making technology.
"For us it's exciting because it's a new approach to building tissues, potentially organs, layer by
layer with large, complex living parts," said Dr. Morgan, who is professor of molecular
pharmacology, physiology, and biotechnology. "In contrast to 3-D bioprinting that prints one
small drop at a time, our approach is much faster because it uses pre-assembled living building
parts with functional shapes and a thousand times more cells per part."

3 Testing an Ebola Vaccine" Researchers announce good news in the fight against a deadly disease
What is the difference between natural and organic foods? Dr. Krishna K. Joshi
Lecturer, Biotechnology Engg. Dept. VVP Engineering College – Rajkot
“Natural,” “all-natural,” “100% organic,” “organic,” and “made with organic ingredients” – these are
some of the many different ways you will find products advertised today. But what does it mean? Are
they basically the same thing? Does it really matter if a product is “all-natural” or “organic”? Let’s flesh
out these questions and answers to see the bigger picture in greater detail.
Food Label Confusion
Within the last few decades, consumers discovered that all of the tens of thousands of chemicals that
came out of the petrochemical boom of the 1950s may not have been as wholesome and harmless as
once believed. A new brand of shopper has arisen – and with it, a new advertising tactic – based on the
credo that just because a scientist can make it, doesn’t mean your body can take it!
For the most part, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has attempted to protect consumers by
monitoring some of the different food labels that open this article. But not all of them (see below)! And
unfortunately, not all consumers have an equal understanding of what the different terms used actually
mean. So here’s a quick break down:
Natural and All-Natural:
By and large, the labeling of something as either “natural” or “all-natural” is supposed to mean that the
product “does not contain added color, artificial flavors or synthetic substances,” but in reality, it’s very
easy to find the these words on foods and drinks that are loaded with artificial colors, flavors,
preservatives, and any other number of chemically-derived additives.
In fact, the USDA acknowledges that as food processing and manufacturing techniques have changed
over time, what has been termed “natural” has become increasingly questionable, requiring continued
conversation and legal refinement. There is even a new movement afoot taking aim at “food identity
theft” – false labeling that has made it past government oversight. For example, some “blueberry”
products such as bagels, cereals, and muffins may be labeled “naturally flavored” although they actually
have no blueberries in them!
100% Organic, Organic, and Made with Organic Ingredients:
These are a series of labels that are protected by the FDA, and they each mean something different. In
general, when a food is “organic,” it means that it is farmed, grown, or otherwise produced in a way that
encourages soil and water conservation, reduces pollution, and uses non-chemical fertilizers, herbicides,
and pesticides.
When you see it on food packaging, a food that is “100% organic” is made with 100% organic
ingredients and can bear the desirable USDA organic label.
If the label reads just “organic,” then it means that the product in question is at least 95% organic; this
too can use the USDA Organic label. And if the product says “made with organic
E Bulletin Biotechnology Dept. Feb-2015 edited by Dr. Krishna Joshi
4
ingredients,” it indicates that, while it isn’t fully organic, at least 70% of its ingredients are
Organic. These foods cannot use the organic label. Finally, if a food product has less than 70%
organic ingredients, it is not allowed to use the term on any of its labeling.
So what does this mean to you? Just about any holistically minded health enthusiast or health practitioner will advise you to
make sure that, as often as possible, the products you buy and consume are 100% organic.
Depending on different variables, of course, that may not be feasible for everyone. When you
cannot get your products in some organic variety, looking for the labels “natural” and “all-
natural” may not be a bad idea. At the very least, it signifies that the manufacturer is interested
in catching your eye, hopefully, by offering something that isn’t completely synthetic.
Still, you need to be careful when buying “natural” and “all-natural” products. It’s good to
remember that these labels are loose and relatively meaningless; what they should mean to you
is: “Read the label!” That is, look at the ingredients and determine for yourself whether they are
things you have heard of before (and probably have in your kitchen), or whether they are multi-
syllabic, unpronounceable, hyphenated ingredients that were obviously boiled up in a beaker.
Read Labels The more organic products you buy, the more commonly they will show up in the marketplace
and the cheaper they will become. The more organic products you use, the healthier you and
your family may be. So, aim for organics and try to follow common sense eating patterns that
engender good health. When you see “natural” or “all-natural,” remember that that really means
you should read the labels. Knowledge is power!

Testing an Ebola Vaccine" Researchers announce good news in the fight against a deadly disease
Thummer Nirav
7th Biotechnology Student
VVP Engineering College – Rajkot
Results are in from the first human test of a vaccine to prevent people from getting the deadly disease Ebola. On November 26, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States announced that the new vaccine appears to be safe and effective. Other trials of the vaccine are still in progress in the U.K., Mali, and Switzerland.
The 2014 Ebola outbreak prompted researchers to accelerate vaccine testing. No cure and no approved vaccine exist for the Ebola virus, which the World Health Organization reports has infected 17,942 people and killed 6,388 during the current outbreak, mostly in West Africa, through December 7. An effective vaccine could prevent future outbreaks.
The Phase 1 clinical trial began in Maryland last September, when NIH researchers injected the vaccine into 20 healthy volunteers. The volunteers couldn’t get Ebola from the vaccine, which doesn’t contain the virus itself but delivers some of its genetic material. Researchers hoped the vaccine would trigger the immune system to produce defenses against Ebola. Then, if a vaccinated person ever became exposed to the real virus, he or she wouldn’t get infected.
Researchers checked the volunteers over four weeks. None of them experienced serious side effects from the vaccine, and blood tests revealed that all 20 developed immune defenses against Ebola. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says, “Based on these positive results from the first human trial of this vaccine, we are continuing our accelerated plan for larger trials to determine if the vaccine is efficacious in preventing Ebola infection.”
If the Ebola vaccine is found to be safe and effective in humans, it can be given to people who are at risk of contracting the deadly virus.

During his expert talk, he shared that Life Science and Chemical Engg being concerned more,
there is requirement of dedicated faculties for collaborative project on formulation and research
in areas of biofertilizers, plant tissue culture, probiotics, pesticide and biocontrol agents.
He also shared that India is globalplayer and international economics is also focussed on in
India. He added to it that technical chemistry must be applied in Biotechnology; niche part can
be engineering which can be foccused for Gujarat and India wherein the companies can involve
themselves. He also suggested collaborative Master’s Program known as International Master’s
Thesis.
To sum up, he discussed all possibilities where various areas of Biotechnology can be
conquered to generate possibilities of future education and research with win-win situation.

On January 21st, 2015, Dr. Beena Patel delivered an expert lecture at Biotechnology
Engg. Dept., V. V. P. Engineering College, on “Biofertilizers”. She focused on ongoing
research of Abellon Clean Energy at Ahmedabad. They optimized the pH, C: N ratio, various
micro and macro nutrients, including organic carbon, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus,
magnesium, sulfur, calcium and chloride, by trying various combinations of different
components. They even identified various mineral solubilizing bacteria from Bacillus,
Pseudomonas and Enterobacter genera. Mineral solubilization activity in case of potassium,
phosphorus and zinc enables the plants to uptake the minerals easily. They isolated
entomopathogenic fungus is that can act as a parasite of insects and pests as biological
insecticides. They created pellets of biofertilizers that last about a year, saving labor costs of
replenishing soils with regular fertilizers various times a year whose effects fluctuate as time
passes.
She motivated the students to do their best work in their prefinal and final year projects.
Prof. Dharmesh Sur, HoD Biotechnology Dept. along with his team did the effort to facilitate
the talk.
