Ceramides from sheeps wool similar to those of the human skin
The high concentration of ceramides extracted by means of supercritical fluid technology has provoked great interest in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Due to their composition, these ceramides increase the hydration of the skin and accelerate the repair of damaged skin tissue.   view more (2005-04-26)

Early-onset obesity in father linked to increased potential for liver disease in child
A history of early-onset paternal obesity increases the odds of elevated liver enzyme levels in offspring and points to the potential for a genetic link between obesity and liver disease, according to a study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association... view more (2008-04-01)

Understanding the global carbon budget -- Woods Hole Research Center expert provides insights
As climate change becomes more and more a central issue in local, national, and international discussions, understanding the global carbon budget, and how it influences trends in global warming, will become increasingly crucial.   view more (2007-05-10)

Air-conditioning of buildings using solar energy
2% of buildings capable of having solar air-conditioning installed, could stop emitting 27,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere   view more (2003-01-16)

Sugars in liver found to clear fats from the bloodstream
Maybe you ate a big, juicy steak for dinner last night, adding a large amount of fat - scientifically known as triglycerides - to your system. For one in ten of us, that could be a big problem.   view more (2007-01-03)

New research shows EU how to hit Kyoto target
High temperature superconductor (HTS) devices could help the EU reduce its CO2 emissions by up to 52 million tonnes, equivalent to 65 per cent of its Kyoto Protocol commitment. Teemu Hartikainen, Jorma Lehtonen and Risto Mikkonen from Tampere University of Technology, Finland have worked out how... view more (2003-07-23)

Rising carbon dioxide levels increase risks to satellites
Climate change is widely attributed to the build-up of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the Earth's atmosphere. However, scientists from the School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton have shown that the impact of carbon dioxide is being felt in space too.   view more (2005-04-18)

Steroid Treatment Offers No Benefit In Preemies, Hopkins Children's Study Suggests
Results of a multicenter study led by Johns Hopkins Children's Center challenge the longstanding practice of treating premature babies with hydrocortisone, a steroid believed to fight inflammation and prevent lung disease.   view more (2008-10-10)

Lab-on-a-chip detects ammonia in human breath
A lab-on-a-chip that is sensitive enough to detect just a tiny ammount of ammonia in human breath has been developed by Björn Timmer of University of Twente in The Netherlands. Ammonia is an indicator for the development of a bacterial infection in the stomach. The tiny dimensions of this... view more (2004-05-28)

Research finds that Earth's climate is approaching 'dangerous' point
NASA and Columbia University Earth Institute research finds that human-made greenhouse gases have brought the Earth's climate close to critical tipping points, with potentially dangerous consequences for the planet.   view more (2007-06-01)

TU Delft, ECN and Stanford Work Together For Clean Energy
The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) of the University of Stanford has announced that it will be investing 9 million Dollars in seven research proposals. Over a period of three years, The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and TU Delft together will receive 2,3 million Dollars... view more (2005-02-16)

A laser uncovers the logic of the stomata function
What you do is sometimes determined by what your neighbours do. Scientists believe that this extends to stomatal behaviour. Stomata are pores placed at the plant surface that allow gas exchange with the atmosphere.   view more (2006-12-21)

Energy, technology and environmental challenges: European research predicts bleak world picture in 2030
In 2030 the world's energy consumption will have doubled; fossil fuels, namely oil, will continue to dominate as energy sources and carbon dioxide emissions will be nearly twice those recorded in 1990, according to research published today by the European Commission. the "World Energy,... view more (2003-05-13)

Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level can reflect adrenal adenoma
The female patient, reported on the December 7 issue 45 of World J Gastroenterology, presented a rare case, with symptoms consistent with hyperadrenocorticism and hypercatecholaminism, and also had a Cushingoid appearance.   view more (2007-11-26)

Nitrous oxide: definitely no laughing matter
Farmers, food suppliers, policy-makers, business leaders and environmentalists are joining forces to confront the threat of the 'forgotten greenhouse gas' by taking part in an influential new forum at the University of East Anglia (UEA).   view more (2008-02-19)

Link found between immune system and high plasma lipid levels
Researchers at the University of Chicago have found an unsuspected link between the immune system and high plasma lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood) in mice. The finding could lead to new ways to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering elevated lipid levels.   view more (2007-04-13)

Biologists offer distilleries a leaner, cleaner solution
Biologists in Manchester have helped create a breakthrough in alcohol production that could save industry millions of pounds and help clean up the environment. Many distilleries across Europe still rely on 19th century technology pioneered by Louis Pasteur, so the invention of a vastly more... view more (2003-03-04)

Focus on methane to save the planet
SMALL print in the Kyoto Protocol threatens to make global warming more severe than it need be over the next 10 years or so. An obscure rule is discouraging countries from applying cheap technologies that could dramatically curb global warming in the short term, warns a British climate scientist.... view more (2002-02-13)

Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations.   view more (2006-03-17)

More efficient use of compressed air
Compressed air is an indispensable source of energy. 60,000 compressed-air systems in Germany consume 14 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which corresponds to the entire power requirement of the German railroads. Although compressed air is the most expensive source of energy,... view more (2002-06-26)

Sticky blood protein yields clues to autism
Many children with autism have elevated blood levels of serotonin - a chemical with strong links to mood and anxiety. But what relevance this "hyperserotonemia" has for autism has remained a mystery.   view more (2008-03-05)

Liquid ventilation
The main problem that premature babies have is that their lungs are not well formed. In order to alleviate this situation, the Nautical School at the University of the Basque Country has developed a liquid respiration respirator.   view more (2006-03-29)

University of Miami scientist uncovers miscalculation in geological undersea record
The precise timing of the origin of life on Earth and the changes in life during the past 4.5 billion years has been a subject of great controversy for the past century.   view more (2008-09-11)

Early detection of Alzheimer's disease a possibility
Research investigating concentrations of magnetite, a magnetic form of iron, in Alzheimer's disease tissue has produced preliminary results that suggest the possibility of developing a technique to detect Alzheimer's disease before clinical symptoms appear. The research*, published in Biology... view more (2003-04-07)

Modeling of long-term fossil fuel consumption shows 14.5 degree hike in temperature
If humans continue to use fossil fuels in a business as usual manner for the next several centuries, the polar ice caps will be depleted, ocean sea levels will rise by seven meters and median air temperatures will soar 14.5 degrees warmer than current day.   view more (2005-12-07)
