According to the news – University of Minnesota declared that researchers found a natural occurring lantibiotic that can be added to food to kill harmful bacteria, which simply means that natural preservatives will make food longer and safe.

University’s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences university’s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences Dan O’Sullivan said that when they first saw it we were not too excited. [It] didn’t seem to be too novel. But then when we examined it, we found it can inhibit the E. colis and salmonellas that are present. He also said that he stumbled upon his discovery of the lantibiotic, which is a peptide produced by a harmless bacteria, while researching the genome of bacteria. Other experts say the discovery could transform the food industry.

University’s Office for Technology Commercialization Sue Patow said It is a huge deal. This has impact on the food industry; the impact on even just consumers’ sense of safety about the food they’re eating is huge
According to researchers, it is still not clear how long it will take before lanbiotic will show up in food. It actually depends on the research and funding progress.

According to the news – Today, it was announced that University of Minnesota School of Dentistry receives the amount of $3.5 million coming from Delta Dental of Minnesota Trust. The money is for funding the only Minnesota hospital-based dental clinic for children and the very advanced pediatric dental clinic in Upper Midwest.

The clinic is named University of Minnesota Pediatric Dental Clinic. It will be found in the adjacent to the new Amplatz Children’s Hospital on the west bank campus of the University of Minnesota Medical Center. It will actually be a regional resource for children that include complex medical, developmental and emotional needs and a home for pediatric dentistry advanced education program. Another good thing is it provides dental residents a rich educational experience.

Mike Howe Delta Dental of Minnesota Trust Board Chair said that they are tremendously excited to support a clinic that will have permanent, long-term benefits for Minnesotans.

Delta Dental of Minnesota Board Chair John Somrock added that every dollar will be invested in bricks and mortar, and the investment will be multiplied many times over through improved oral health for children.
According to interim dean of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Dr. Judith Buchanan said that amount of $3.5 million given by Delta Dental of Minnesota is the largest grant in University’s dental school history.

According to the news – University of Minnesota Morris is included in Fiske Guide to Colleges 2012. The featured colleges were chosen according to their subjects that include student body, social life, campus setting, academic quality, housing, extracurricular activities and food.

University of Minnesota Morris director of admissions Bryan Herrmann said that receiving this type of an accolade is always affirming. He also said that when an impartial entity identifies Morris’s strengths, it confirms our campus goal to provide an exceptional education at an affordable price—and a remarkable student life experience—is not only being fulfilled but also being recognized nationally

Fiske Guide to Colleges 2012 is a subjective, selective and systematic look at 300 plus universities and colleges in Canada, USA and Great Britain compiled by former editor of New York Times Edward B. Fiske. The profile of each college is seeking to characterize each personality of the institutions.

According to the news – The new President of University of Minnesota Eric Kaler will have his first community visit if he will going to attend Farmfest in Redwood County this week.

President Kaler is scheduled to attend Minnesota Farm Bureau’s annual breakfast and have a talk at Forum tent at 10:15 a.m. He actually have the plans to tour grounds and meet the attendees of the farmfest.
Farmfest is known as the largest farm-related event in the state. It will run from Aug. 2-4 at the Gilfillan Estate in Redwood County.

Other experts coming from of University of Minnesota will also discuss about agricultural topics.
Aside from that, 76 families coming from Minnesota will be honored by University of Minnesota as Minnesota Farm Families of the Year on Thursday afternoon.

According to the news – The discovery of University of Minnesota can lead to help canine and human bone cancer patients fight the disease. University of Minnesota laboratory principal investigator Jaime Modiano, VMD, PhD discovered a gene pattern that distinguishes severe form of bone cancer from a less aggressive form in dogs.

Aside from human beings, dogs are another species that develops the disease. Actually, dogs have higher incidence of bone compare to human.

However, Modiano said that the discovery is the key that differentiate signature may be beneficial in the treatment planning of human bone cancer patients. He also said that their findings pave the way to develop laboratory tests that can predict the behavior of this tumor in dogs and children at the time of diagnosis. It actually allows them to tailor individualized therapy to meet the patient’s needs.”

According to the news – There is something new that University of Minnesota engineering researches in the College of Science and Engineering found out. They discovered a completely new alloy material that converts heat directly into electricity.

At this time, it is still in the early stages of development, but it has the possibility to impact in creating green electricity that comes from waste heat sources.

The material could potentially used to capture waste heat from a car exhaust that can heat the material and then produce electricity for charging battery in a hybrid car. There is also a possibility that it can use for capturing rejected heat from power plants, industrial or temperature differences in the ocean to create electricity according to the researchers.

University of Minnesota aerospace engineering and mechanics professor Richard James, who is leading the team of researchers said that the research is very promising because it presents an entirely new method for energy conversion that’s never been done before. He also added that it’s also the ultimate ‘green’ way to create electricity because it uses waste heat to create electricity with no carbon dioxide.”
