A new amazing rubber-like protein that helps grasshoppers and other insects to jump, flap their wings and chirp, may be used in medicine, scientists claim in their new article. It evaluates the latest advances toward using a protein called resilin in nanosprings, biorubbers, biosensors and other applications. Kristi Kiick and colleagues explain that scientists discovered resilin a half-century ago in the wing hinges of locusts and elastic tendons of dragonflies. ...Saturday, 3 August 2013
