Study gives insight into process of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction – World News Network
Recent research showed that increasing the ketone supply to the heart in mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) allowed their hearts to utilise more ketones and produce more energy.
Study finds how genetic diagnostics of ultra-rare diseases – World News Network
Most rare diseases are caused by genetics. A molecular genetic diagnosis can be made more quickly and readily by identifying the underlying genetic change, for instance by exome sequencing (ES). The analysis of every region of our DNA that codes for a protein is known as ES.
Chemists design novel method for generating sustainable fuel: Study – World News Network
Tuning this environment by controlling how the CoPc catalyst was distributed on the carbon nanotube surface allowed carbon dioxide to be as much as eight times more likely to produce methanol, a discovery that could increase the efficiency of other catalytic processes and have a widespread impact on other fields,…
Study finds how blood cancer medication makes radiotherapy on brain tumours more effective – World News Network
According to a recent study, medications intended to treat blood and other malignancies may also increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy for low-grade brain tumours in adults.
Study finds how plastic waste can be converted to electronic devices – World News Network
The University of Delaware and the Argonne National Laboratory have developed a chemical process that converts Styrofoam into the high-value conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS. The researchers show how improved plastic trash may be successfully integrated into functional electronic devices such as silicon-based hybrid solar cells and organic electrochemical transistors.
Researchers discover new way concerning immune defence – World News Network
Monocytes, a kind of white blood cell, generate cytokines, which are inflammatory messengers required for an adequate immune response. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have discovered that platelets, also known as thrombocytes, interact with monocytes, increasing their inflammatory capability.
