Healing cells could be "tuned" in the test tube to target repair and regeneration work in the body
Engineering researchers at Monash University have found new evidence that special cells involved in tissue repair can be "tuned" to take on different types of repair and regeneration work in the body by modifying the physical environment in which the.....»»
Researchers estimate anthropogenic mercury emissions from 1500 to 1900
Mercury, toxic to humans, is the only known metallic element that is liquid at standard Earth temperature and pressure and therefore comprises a hazard to children because it is so cool. But many historic human activities have involved the use of mer.....»»
