Whether an odor is pleasant or disgusting to an organism is not just a matter of taste. Often, an organism’s survival depends on its ability to make just such…
In September 2014, Antarctic sea ice covered more than 20 million square kilometers for the first time since the beginning of continuous satellite measurements…
The finding follows a new study, which is published today in Nature Climate Change, in which the future distribution of lakes that form on the ice sheet…
The rate at which carbon emissions warmed Earth’s climate almost 56 million years ago resembles modern, human-caused global warming much more than previously…
he novel radiolabeled exendin derivatives provide a highly specific diagnostic tool for the detection of beta cells in the pancreas of patients at risk of developing diabetes or already having diabetes. An imaging protocol has been developed that allows single time point quantitative SPECT/CT imaging to allow for simple, time-efficient clinical imaging.
The product is ready-to-use for clinical applications and gives for the first time the opportunity for detection of changes in beta cell mass in persons with diabetes or at risk to develop the disease. The possibility of beta cell mass quantification is fur-thermore associated to the chance of validation of therapy success with already available medicaments or new drug candidates that may preserve or increase beta cell mass.
Scientist at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, have developed a new microtip measuring catheter that is equipped with a triaxial acceleration sensor and several pressure sensors around its circumference. The novel urodynamic catheter has been specifically developed for the diagnosis of urinary incontinence. Its considerable improvement in diagnosis allows for an optimized treatment of incontinence. A prototype of the catheter is currently subject to animal testing.
The invention describes a method for the in-situ conversion of chemically fixed carbon dioxide into low-molecular weight organic compounds by direct heterogeneous catalytic or electrochemical hydrogenation.
This property could have implications in spintronics, an emerging technology promoted by the European Union to create advanced computational systems.
The findings are among the first returns from NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, which entered its science phase on Nov. 16. The…
