At University of Bremen a new wound healing strategy has been presented: The team of the Wound Repair Unit at the Centre for Biomolecular Interactions Bremen (CBIB) has shown the influence of lung surfactant on keratinocytes and the benefit of these interactions for cell migration and wound resurfacing. Lung surfactants contain phospholipids and surfactant proteins and are used as standard therapy for respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants.
Materials and quality control must meet increasingly stringent requirements in the paper processing industry. To provide thickness measurement, for instance,…

Only few years ago, researchers succeeded in prolonging the lifespan of worm C. elegans, fruit fly D. melongaster and rats by almost 50% through a simple…
The optical sensors are extremely resistant to a variety of surfaces and are further suitable to measure true run/synchronism and thickness and for position…
Although traditionally viewed as a predator of insects, researchers have become increasingly aware that spiders are not exclusively insectivorous. Some spiders…
The rain forests in the mountains of the tropical Andes are amongst the most biodiverse regions on the planet. But the multitude of ants, beetles, moths and…
Quantum computing differs fundamentally from classical computing, in that it is based on the generation and processing of qubits. Unlike classical bits, which…
Imagine a house that could fit in a backpack or a wall that could become a window with the flick of a switch.
Instead of using large seismic vibrations to find oil, we used gentle vibrations to find out where problems exist in the back,” explains Kawchuk, professor of…
Liposomes are soap-bubble-like nanocontainers made of a double phospholipid membrane that shields off an inner aqueous compartment. In a lenticular form, as…
Depending on the coating and the surface to be coated, infrared heat or UV light, or a combination of the two can offer the best solution. Heraeus offers both…
Their diverse metabolic characteristics make bacteria of the Roseobacter group some of the most abundant microorganisms in nutrient-rich coastal waters….
This is the first time such simple ‘universal models’ have been found to exist. The study, published this week in Science, builds on pioneering work from the…
