Elsevier Launches Artery Research

Artery Research (http://www.arteryresearch.com), is the official journal of the Association for Research into Arterial Structure and Physiology (ARTERY) (http://www.artery.uk.net) and will be published quarterly from 2008. The journal focuses on research into the arterial structure and physiology. The official launch of the journal is scheduled to take place during the 17th European Meeting on Hypertension (http://www.aimgroup.it/2007/esh) being held in Milan (Italy) from 15-19 June 2007.

Artery Research features original articles on the advancement of knowledge and dissemination of information concerning the pathophysiology, epidemiology, detection, investigation and treatment of arterial structure and function. The journal will also include review articles, case studies, letters to the Editor and short communications. Authors are invited to submit their work to Artery Research through the online submission and review system - http://ees.elsevier.com/artres

The first issue will include a summary of the recent consensus statement on arterial stiffness from The European Network for Non Invasive Investigation of Large Arteries lead by Stephane Laurent. Research into arterial stiffness is moving rapidly and the editorial board welcome feedback for improving the journal and its content. The first issue is available for free at http://www.arteryresearch.com

The Editor-in-Chief, Professor John R. Cockcroft, explains why the new journal is being launched: “The past few years have seen much progress in terms of research into arterial structure and physiology. The number of publications in this field has risen steadily with novel and important results being reported in a variety of high impact factor journals spanning many different disciplines and epidemiology. Artery Research is the official journal of the Association for Research into Arterial Structure and Physiology (ARTERY) and as such I hope will be viewed as the natural home for publications of studies in this field”.

Graham Brumfield, Elsevier Publishing Editor for Cardiology journals adds: “We are pleased to launch this new journal in association with ARTERY. The amount of published research in this area of medicine has been increasing steadily over the past few years and we feel this is an ideal moment to launch a new journal on arterial structure and physiology”.

Im Focus: Why we need erasable MRI scans

New technology could allow an MRI contrast agent to 'blink off,' helping doctors diagnose disease

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is a widely used medical tool for taking pictures of the insides of our body. One way to make MRI scans easier to read is...

Im Focus: BAM@Hannover Messe: innovative 3D printing method for space flight

At the Hannover Messe 2018, the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und-prüfung (BAM) will show how, in the future, astronauts could produce their own tools or spare parts in zero gravity using 3D printing. This will reduce, weight and transport costs for space missions. Visitors can experience the innovative additive manufacturing process live at the fair.

Powder-based additive manufacturing in zero gravity is the name of the project in which a component is produced by applying metallic powder layers and then...

Im Focus: Molecules Brilliantly Illuminated

Physicists at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics, which is jointly run by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, have developed a high-power laser system that generates ultrashort pulses of light covering a large share of the mid-infrared spectrum. The researchers envisage a wide range of applications for the technology – in the early diagnosis of cancer, for instance.

Molecules are the building blocks of life. Like all other organisms, we are made of them. They control our biorhythm, and they can also reflect our state of...

Im Focus: Spider silk key to new bone-fixing composite

University of Connecticut researchers have created a biodegradable composite made of silk fibers that can be used to repair broken load-bearing bones without the complications sometimes presented by other materials.

Repairing major load-bearing bones such as those in the leg can be a long and uncomfortable process.

Im Focus: Writing and deleting magnets with lasers

Study published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is the outcome of an international effort that included teams from Dresden and Berlin in Germany, and the US.
