• New material gets itself into shape

  Plant components that bend, roll or twist in response to external stimuli such as temperature or moisture are fairly commonplace in nature and often play a role in the dispersal of seeds. Pine cones, for instance, close their scales when wet and open them again once they have dried out. André Studar more

• LZH Spin-off "Particular GmbH" Starts Up

  The Particular GmbH is a new spin-off firm from the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH), which was started by two LZH scientists. Particular uses a new laser process for the production of highly sterile nanoparticles made of almost any material. There is a high demand for nanoparticles for research pu more

• Empa researchers «design» therapeutic coatings of silver
  

  Empa researchers have demonstrated how they can adjust process conditions to influence the properties of novel plasma polymer coatings containing silver nanoparticles. Tailor-made films can be generated through a one-step plasma process. The scientists developed these new coatings, which kill bacter more

• IJMS, Vol. 14, Pages 10063-10074: Melatonin Effects on Hard Tissues: Bone and Tooth

  Melatonin is an endogenous hormone rhythmically produced in the pineal gland under the control of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the light/dark cycle. This indole plays an important role in many physiological processes including circadian entrainment, blood pressure regulation, seasonal repro more

• Efficacy of Individual Computer-Based Auditory Training for People with Hearing Loss: A Systematic Review of the Evidence

  by Helen Henshaw, Melanie A. Ferguson Background Auditory training involves active listening to auditory stimuli and aims to improve performance in auditory tasks. As such, auditory training is a potential intervention for the management of people with hearing loss. Objective This systematic re more

• Preparation, characterization, and release properties of hydrogels based on hyaluronan for pharmaceutical and biomedical use

  ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polysaccharide that is widely distributed in the human body. Its physicochemical properties and high biocompatibility make it a good candidate for biomedical and pharmaceutical uses. In the present work, we report HA‐based hydrogels that could be applie more
