While these concepts may sound like they're from a science fiction novel, researchers at esteemed institutions like Johns Hopkins University are actively pursuing advancements in tissue engineering to make them a reality. Some scientists are pioneering innovative biomaterials for transplantation, while others are constructing miniature human tissues or organs for drug testing and facilitating communication between different organ systems.

By: Raina Shah and Hannah Sanborn  Within the field of conservation, success stories gleam in the darkness of extinction accounts. Every success is a glimmer of hope for the biodiversity of our world, from well-known pandas, whose numbers have recovered from the edge due to unceasing conservation efforts in China, to blue whales still swimming despite human-caused risks. It is important to celebrate the comeback or improvement that many of these species have made. All of these stories demonstrate the strength of group effort and commitment in the struggle to protect Earth's priceless wildlife.
