Medical Xpress / Preventive care protocol lowers risk of kidney injury after major surgery
The kidneys are among the most important organs of the human body. Every day they filter around 1,500 liters of blood, regulate electrolyte and fluid balance, control blood pressure and play a central role in detoxifying ...
Medical Xpress / How errors in the cytoskeleton lead to a smaller brain
Why do some children develop a brain that is too small (microcephaly)? An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover Medical School (MHH), and ...
Phys.org / Theoretical results could lead to faster, more secure quantum technology
University of Iowa researchers have discovered a method to "purify" photons, an advance that could make optical quantum technologies more efficient and more secure.
