A vital part of our ecosystem, horseshoe crabs face a critical threat. Their blood is used in medical testing, but over-bleeding is pushing them towards local extinction. The good news? New York's Horseshoe Crab Protection Act would offer desperately needed safeguards. The bad news? Time is running out. The act is on Governor Hochul's desk, and she needs to sign it into law. Urge Governor Hochul to sign the Horseshoe Crab Protection Act! ➡️ #biotechnology #lifescience #lifesciences #biomedicalscience #technology #technews #newtech #latesttech #latesttechnews #futuretech #innovation #techindustry #tech #biotech #savethecrabs

About us
Limuless is developing a drop-in, recombinant substitute for the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay, which will supply the pharmaceutical industry with the necessary tools to sustainably safeguard humanity’s supply of medicines from bacterial contamination. By removing the horseshoe crab from the LAL production cycle, we will provide a superior product at lower cost, enhance pyrogen testing capabilities for traditional users and open the way for bulk endotoxin testing in several brand-new industries, including healthcare, food service, aerospace, and defense.

As we gather for Thanksgiving, let’s appreciate the science behind our favorite dishes. The Maillard reaction creates the delicious browning on turkey and stuffing, transforming proteins and sugars into new flavors. Gelatinization occurs when starches in mashed potatoes absorb water and swell, giving them a creamy texture. Emulsification makes sauces like gravy smooth by mixing oil and water with the help of emulsifiers. Umami, the "fifth taste," found in turkey and mushrooms, enhances savory flavors detected by our taste buds. Smell significantly influences how we perceive taste, as aromas travel to our olfactory receptors. Understanding heat transfer is essential for cooking; convection ovens circulate air for even cooking, while conduction transfers heat directly. Pressure cooking speeds up meal prep by raising water's boiling point, cooking food faster while retaining moisture. As you enjoy your meal, marvel at the science enriching our holiday traditions. Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with delicious discoveries! #biotechnology #lifescience #lifesciences #biomedicalscience #technology #technews #newtech #latesttech #latesttechnews #futuretech #innovation #techindustry #tech #biotech #savethecrabs

Great news for these amazing creatures and for the future of medical testing! The United States Pharmacopeia has adopted a new policy allowing for alternative, non-animal methods for testing the safety of new drugs. This means fewer horseshoe crabs will be bled for a test that can now be replaced with more humane and accurate methods- like ours! 🔗 #biotechnology #lifescience #lifesciences #biomedicalscience #technology #technews #newtech #latesttech #latesttechnews #futuretech #innovation #techindustry #tech #biotech #savethecrabs
Historic Policy Change: Pharma Now Has Green Light to Save Horseshoe Crabs
