Minu seekordseks vestluspartneriks on Kirki Kubri, pesupoe Ulakas Kaunitar asutaja ja juht, kes on loonud ettevõtte, mis ühendab endas ilu, enesekindluse ja tähendrikkuse. Tema teekond ettevõtjaks ei alanud Exceli tabeli ega äriplaaniga, vaid sisemise äratundmise ja julgusega pakkuda turule midagi, millest ta Eestis ise puudust oli tundnud. Selles vestluses räägime Kirkiga esimese sammu tegemise julgusest, tegutsemisest enne täiuslikkust ja sellest, kuidas üks ehe ja südamelähedane idee võib kasvada jätkusuutlikuks ettevõtteks. “Minu ettevõtjaks saamine ei sündinud nii, et ma oleks kogu aeg teadnud, et tahan kindlasti ettevõtjaks hakata. Võiks öelda, et ma komistasin selle maailma ja ühe väga konkreetse puuduse otsa. Kui sa märkad midagi, millest on puudus, siis tekibki soov teha seda paremini või see tühimik täita. Ütlesin sõbrannale: ‘Nii ebaaus, et Eesti naised jäävad kõigest sellest ilma...' Ja tema vastas lihtsalt: ‘Noh jah, aga tee ära siis.' Ja nii see sündiski! Mina olen pigem selline, et kui millestki väga vaimustun ja mul tuleb idee, siis ma ei hakka pikalt analüüsima ega jooniseid tegema –- ma hakkan lihtsalt tegutsema.” – Kirki Kubri Kui sind huvitab, kuidas ühest ideest kasvab ettevõte ja julgusest saab jõud teha esimene samm, siis see episood on just sulle.

Seoul National University of Science and Technology Researchers Develop Bioink for Personalized Tissue Repair Using Kombucha SCOBY Nanocellulose. The bioink can be precisely applied directly onto damaged tissue with a digital biopen, offering a convenient solution for healing wounds. In a new breakthrough, researchers at Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SEOULTECH) have developed a novel bioink made from Kombucha SCOBY-derived nanocellulose, which provides a scaffold that supports cell growth for tissue repair. The bioink can be directly applied to the damaged areas through a handheld biopen, making it ideal for direct in vivo tissue engineering of wounds and complex defects, particularly in emergency and first-aid settings. Bioink for Personalised Tissue Repair Using Kombucha Tissue engineering utilizes 3D printing and bioink to grow human cells on scaffolds, creating replacements for damaged tissues like skin, cartilage, and even organs. A team of researchers led by Professor Insup Noh from Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea, has developed a bioink using nanocellulose derived from Kombucha SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) as the scaffold material. The biomaterial offers a sustainable alternative to conventional options, and it can be loaded onto a hand-held 'Biowork' biopen, also developed by the same team. The digital biopen allows the precise application of bioink to damaged defected areas, such as irregular cartilage and large skin wounds, paving the way for more personalized and effective in vivo tissue repair, eliminating the need for in vitro tissue engineering processes. This paper was made available online on 28 October 2024 and subsequently published in Volume 282, Part 3, of the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules on 1 December 2024. "Our prefabricated nanocellulose hydrogel network from symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast has the potential to be used as a platform bioink for in vivo tissue engineering by loading all types of biomolecules and drugs and direct bioprinting," says Prof. Noh. Kombucha SCOBY is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast used to ferment green tea. The microorganisms produce cellulose, which is biodegradable and compatible with cells. However, the nanocellulose derived from Kombucha SCOBY has an entangled structure, which requires modification for 3D bioprinting. This involves adjusting its rheological properties (how it flows) and mechanical properties to improve extrusion and maintain structural integrity after printing. The researchers accomplished this by partially hydrolyzing nanocellulose with acetic acid, breaking glucose bonds and disentangling the network for its bioprintablity. However, this treatment lacked control of its properties, leading to a reduction of its structural strength. The team reinforced the nanocellulose with chitosan (positively charged) and kaolin (negatively charged) nanoparticles. These chitosan and kaolin particles interact with cellulose through electrostatic forces, forming a stable hydrogel suitable for 3D bioprinting. The bioink was prepared by mixing the ingredients, including live cells, within a biopen. Digitally controlled, two counter-rotating screws within the biopen uniformly mixed the ingredients, creating a homogeneous bioink that could be directly applied through a needle onto damaged tissue. When attached to a 3D bioprinter, the biopen enabled the creation of multilayer, self-standing structures with high resolution, such as bifurcated tubes and pyramids exceeding 1 cm in height. The biopen was also used for direct in situ layer-by-layer printing of irregularly shaped defects. Using it, the researchers accurately filled 3D-printed cranium and femoral head molds with designed defects. The bioink and digital biopen combination offers a cost-effective solution for treating large areas and irregularly shaped wounds without any in vitro tissue regeneration ...

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 25, 2025 is: nomenclature • NOH-mun-klay-cher • noun Nomenclature is a formal word that refers to a system of names that is used in specialized fields and especially in science. Nomenclature is also used more broadly as a synonym of name and designation. // It took Faith, a trained herpetologist, a while to become familiar with the nomenclature used at the entomology conference. See the entry > Examples: “The junior leagues wanted to instill the same type of nomenclature and methods used at the high school varsity level and teach the same type of philosophies.” — Rodger Roeser, Cleveland.com, 25 Nov. 2024 Did you know? Nomenclature has everything to do with names: it can refer to the act of naming, a name itself, and even a system of names—you name it! The term comes to English from the Latin word nōmenclātūra, which means “assigning of names to things.” One may marvel, for instance, at the nomenclature—that is, names—of towns in the United States, from Ninety-Six (South Carolina) to Frankenstein (Missouri). Or one may be required to learn the nomenclature—the system of naming—of a particular branch of science. If nomenclature reminds you of a term you heard in biology class, you know what we mean. Binomial nomenclature refers to a system of nomenclature in which each species of animal or plant receives a name of two terms, of which the first identifies the genus to which it belongs and the second the species itself. For example, the scientific name for humans according to this nomenclature is Homo sapiens.

October 1 marked the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Since its founding, China has made remarkable accomplishments in public health by addressing opium addiction, in the elimination of poverty and in the building of an eco-socialist society. Clearing the FOG speaks with K J Noh, an activist, author and political analyst specializing in Asia. Noh recently wrote "Your Mind Is A Battlefield: Decolonize It To Prevent Global Catastrophe!," which was published in Popular Resistance. Noh describes the Chinese approach of designing policies that benefit everyone, why the West, especially the United States, views China as a threat rather than a partner, and what people in the US can do to counter anti-China propaganda and prevent a global war with China.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 2, 2024 is: extemporaneous • ek-stem-puh-RAY-nee-us • adjective Extemporaneous describes something that is made up or done without special preparation. It is usually used to describe public speaking. // Now a seasoned professional, Abby is no longer unnerved when asked to make the occasional extemporaneous speech. See the entry > Examples: "The show [Shōgun] lovingly conveys all the details of court society: the Noh performance by torchlight, the extemporaneous verse, the calligraphic stroke falling on a blank sheet of paper." — Ryu Spaeth, Vulture, 23 Apr. 2024 Did you know? Extemporaneous, which comes from the Latin phrase ex tempore ("on the spur of the moment"), joined the English language sometime in the mid-17th century. The word impromptu, also from a Latin phrase (in promptu, meaning "in readiness") soon followed. In general usage, extemporaneous and impromptu are used interchangeably to describe off-the-cuff remarks or speeches, but this is not the case when they are used in reference to the learned art of public speaking. Teachers of speech will tell you that an extemporaneous speech is one that has been thoroughly prepared and planned but not memorized, whereas an impromptu speech is one for which absolutely no preparations have been made.
