Reprogramming tissue mechanically to promote wound healing
Researchers at PSI and ETH Zurich have taken connective tissue cells that have been mechanically reprogrammed to resemble stem cells and transplanted them into damaged skin. In their laboratory experiment, they were able to show that this can promote.....»»
Ozone layer recovery delayed, surface UV radiation continues to rise, finds study
According to a new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, the ozone isn't healing as quickly as expected, leading to higher levels of surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation in recent years......»»

How internal job candidates could have a leg up
When a new role opens up at a company, managers often face a choice: Promote an employee from within or bring an external candidate on board......»»
Precisely measuring the differing filamentary cytoskeletal characteristics of mobile and stationary cells
Most biological cells have a fixed place in an organism. However, cells can become mobile and move through the body. This happens, for example, during wound healing or when tumor cells divide uncontrollably and migrate through the body. Mobile and st.....»»

Taiwan-based IC distributors are aggressively promoting sales of automotive chips and related solutions in China in anticipation of the new energy vehicle market boom......»»
Recently discovered protein domain regulates collagen transport
Collagen is the protein that holds our body together. It is produced inside cells, from where it must be transported to its site of action in connective tissue. The protein domain that is responsible for the recognition of collagen has previously bee.....»»
Environmental memory propels collective cell migration, shows study
Throughout their lives, cells encounter environments that vary in terms of how stiff or soft they are. These mechanical conditions impact just how quickly cells can grow, move and carry out basic functions like repairing damaged tissue. Though scient.....»»
Researchers transform our understanding of crystals
When most people think of crystals, they picture suncatchers that act as rainbow prisms or the semi-transparent stones that some believe hold healing powers. However, to scientists and engineers, crystals are a form of materials in which their consti.....»»
Sovereign wealth fund a way to acquire key technology? Taiwanese central bank says no
The Taiwanese government has announced its policy to promote Taiwan as a center for high-end manufacturing and advanced semiconductor processes in Asia. However, key materials, equipment, and technology are still dominated by foreign companies from J.....»»
A new nondestructive method for assessing bioengineered artificial tissues
Engineering organs to replace damaged hearts or kidneys in the human body may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the building blocks for this technology are already in place. In the burgeoning field of tissue engineering, live cells grow.....»»
Incredible bacterium can transfer its genes into plants for desired traits
Humans have bred for desirable plant and animal traits for millennia by selecting and crossing their offspring. Now, researchers at the University of Copenhagen are taking a natural shortcut to promote beneficial changes using a special bacterium tha.....»»
Study shows more woodlands will not impact tourism
Hiking, cycling, climbing and boating. When we take time off from work or school, we like to go out into nature. The landscape in other words play an important role for our vacations. To promote biodiversity and carbon sequestration there is a focus.....»»
Engineers develop electroconductive hydrogel for biomedical applications
Synthetic hydrogels show great promise in tissue repair, drug delivery, medical implants and many other applications. Hydrogels functionalized with electrically conductive components can be used in bioelectronic devices for cardiac or neural interfac.....»»
How cells are influenced by their environment as tissues grow
How does an embryo develop? How do children grow, wounds heal or cancer spread? All of this has to do with the growth of body tissue. One of the major research interests of ETH Professor Viola Vogel and her senior assistant Mario C. Benn is to unders.....»»
How are dinosaur tissues preserved in deep time?
Ever since Mary Schweitzer found soft, stretchy tissue in a T. rex fossil in 2004, scientists have been trying to come to grips with how some biological tissues and cells could preserve within ancient critters......»»
Scientists design new bio-inspired molecules to promote bone regeneration
People's ability to regenerate bones declines with age and is further decreased by diseases such as osteoporosis. To help the aging population, researchers are looking for new therapies that improve bone regeneration......»»
Fallow land found to promote bird biodiversity
In recent decades, many of Germany's animal populations in agricultural landscapes have experienced sharp declines, both in terms of the number of species and the number of individuals. Fallow land is considered an effective measure to slow this decl.....»»
