Obstacles no barrier to higher speeds for worms, NYU researchers find
(New York University) Obstacles in an organism's path can help it to move faster, not slower, researchers from New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences have found through a series of experiments and computer simulations. Their findings have implications for a better understanding of basic locomotion strategies found in ...
Capturing an octopus-eye view of the Great Barrier Reef
The camera enables the researchers to see an aspect of light that humans are essentially blind to: polarized light. Though humans aren't sensitive to polarized light, many reef dwelling animals are but this has not always been taken into account in previous studies of reef communities. ...
FzioMed’s DYNAVISC adhesion barrier gel receives European CE Mark approval
FzioMed, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has received CE Mark approval to market DYNAVISC adhesion barrier gel in Europe for tendon and peripheral nerve surgery.
To Preserve Vital Blood-Brain Barrier, Brain Glia Cells Increase Their DNA Content
The blood-brain barrier is essential for maintaining the brain's stable environment - preventing entry of harmful viruses and bacteria and isolating the brain's specific hormonal and neurotransmitter activity from that in the rest of the body. In addition to nerve cells, the brain contains glia cells that support and protect ...

Inflammatory Cues Modulate Goblet Cell Products Important For Intestinal Barrier Function
In a paper published in the December 2011 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, a team of scientists at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign led by Rex Gaskins, PhD have demonstrated that both microbial and host inflammatory factors modulate sulfomucin production in a human cell line, LS174T, that models intestinal ...

Inflammatory cues modulate goblet cell products important for intestinal barrier function
(Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine) The paper by Croix and coauthors demonstrates that both microbial and host inflammatory factors modulate sulfomucin production in the human goblet cell line. Sulfomucins provide crucial protection to the intestinal mucosa and their expression is altered in mucosal lesions of both inflammatory bowel disease ...
Tecnalia is looking into the upcycling of end-of-life tyres for the roadway noise barrier sector
This project is in line with the principles laid down in the current European Parliament Directive (Directive 2006/12/EC) on waste, in which the upcycling and use of waste as raw materials are encouraged in order to preserve natural resources. Added to the environmental benefits, the use of ...
