Adolescent jokes aside, the process finally makes useful something that until now has been collected to burn up on re-entry. What’s more, like so many other…
Researchers at the Mechanobiology Institute at the National University of Singapore have comprehensively described the network of proteins involved in…
The technique combines synchrotron X-rays (SX) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In experiments, the researchers used SX as a probe and a nanofabricated…
“Maybe they are part of the machinery that allows an organism to turn hundreds of genes off or on,” said Associate Professor of Biological Science Hank Bass.
A new study will help researchers create longer-lasting, higher-capacity lithium rechargeable batteries, which are commonly used in consumer electronics. In a…

A natural substance present in red wine, resveratrol, inhibits the formation of inflammatory factors that trigger cardiovascular diseases.
The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that this was a decrease of 3% from the previous year.
This invention offers a new method for the direct and halogen-free formamide or acetamide formation of adamantane.
The adamantane modifications are chosen to enhance lipophilicity and stability of drugs, thereby improving their pharmacokinetics. Amido- and amino admantane derivatives can be used as drug delivery systems. They are able to overcome the blood-brain barrier and are competent to penetrate into the fatty tissue.
Due to these properties adamantane derivates are already used as therapeutics (e.g. for neurodegenerative diseases) and cosmetics. They are, for example, used as antiviral drugs or to treat Parkinson?s as well as Alzheimer?s diseases.
The tin-enriched adhesive system according to the invention provides a better and more durable bonding of tooth-colored filling materials (composites/ceramics) to eroded hard tooth substance. This system was specifically designed for individuals with pre-eroded teeth, can however also be used for all other indications of tooth-colored restorations.
The invention concerns a surgical drape, especially for surgical interventions on the brain or head.
These novel drapes are provided to cover two areas. First the sterile cover of the area of surgery and additionally the sterile cover for a surveying system, especially with infrared radiation.
Previous drapes, especially for surgeries on the brain or head have only one fenestration in the area under the contact area of the patients head.
