UIC researchers are using nearly $2 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health to develop a better way to regenerate bone or tissues that have been lost to disease or injury. Sriram Ravindran and Praveen Gajendrareddy run a lab at the UIC College of Dentistry that develops biomimetic tools. They hope to evaluate and characterize the use of engineered exosomes — small vesicles in cells that carry cellular messages — as a safer and more clinically promising alternative to growth factors.
WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE A SPECIES
A multi-sector partnership coordinated by the Energy Resources Center at UIC is working together to develop a voluntary conservation agreement to aid the plight of the monarch butterfy. The species has been in jeopardy as population has been declining, in part due to loss of lands containing native fowering plants that the butterfies need for food. Spanning more than 1.8 million acres of land over 45 states, 26 organizations are working together to encourage landowners to use methods to help maintain the plants monarchs need for survival. CALL HIM ‘MISTER’
With only an estimated two percent of teachers in American public schools being black males, chances are that most male students of color never had a chance to learn from someone who looked like them. UIC’s College of Education is hoping to change that with a new program, “Call Me MISTER,” that aims to prepare black and Latino men as elementary teachers who want to teach in the Chicago Public Schools system. Mentors Instructing Students Toward Efective Role Models (MISTER) is part of a network currently operating in 31 schools across the country.
