Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer in both dogs and humans. The high mortality rate of this disease can be attributed to its ability to spread (metastasize) to the lungs. Metastasis is a complex and multi-step process. To promote the survival of cancer cells when they spread, organs can change their characteristics […]

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis. They are often involved in development of inflammation, but in some settings can have the opposite effect. Much research is dedicated to investigating how macrophages develop […]

TRUST is a joint research project among the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), University of Stuttgart and other research institutions and technology providers. The objective of the project is to develop innovative solutions and planning tools for drinking water supply in water scarce regions. The methodological approach includes satellite-based remote sensing and water balance modeling […]

The Digital Fabrication Lab (Fab Lab) is situated in a high-risk zone where many youths become get involved in local gangs or else have to leave the area in order to study or obtain formal employment. The FabLab’s mission is to design a solution that is compatible to the local practices and context on order […]

The Diocesan Food Bank of Guadalajara (BDA) is a Civil Society organization which has operated in the Jalisco state of Mexico since 1991. Its main function is the management and distribution of food donated by companies and individuals, which are destined to the poor families of the State of Jalisco. Jalisco is home to 8.3 […]

n noisy environments, normal hearing individuals demonstrate an ability to tune into a desired speaker while attenuating irrelevant background noise. Previous studies have shown that by analyzing brain wave data in the form of electroencephalography (EEG), and applying a technique called stimulus reconstruction technique, we can determine and even roughly reconstruct the attended speech. These […]

Proton Membrane Exchange Fuel cells (PEMFC’s) are a promising and advantageous because of its simple structure, low maintenance, high efficiency, low operating temperature and rapid startup. It has variety of application in real world like, transportation, clean energy and use as an aviation fuel and many other possible uses. Regardless of that, there are certain […]

With the onset of climate change and an ever-increasing human population, Sub-Saharan Africa faces a three-pronged sustainable development dilemma: how to increase food security while also conserving biodiversity and reducing social inequality. Given the importance of agriculture in Sub-Saharan economies, agricultural intensification and expansion will likely comprise the main course of action to address food […]

Plasmonic catalysis is an emerging technology which holds the promise of utilizing light to facilitate a chemical transformation. Antenna nanoreactor is comprised of a plasmonic core and a transition metal shell in which the plasmonic core can absorb the light and generate the highly energetic electrons (hot electrons) and the transition metal shell receives these […]

When soil becomes contaminated, it is important to conduct a risk assessment to determine if there is any risk to humans. One way that humans can be exposed to soil is through ingestion where contaminants are made accessible by the body’s saliva, gastric, and intestinal juices. This concept is known as bioaccessibility, and gives a […]
