Diabetic kidney disease: Cause and possible therapeutic approach identified
Researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center have deciphered a new mechanism that plays a central role in the development of diabetic kidney disease.
Measures to restore biodiversity in peatlands fall short
Several experimental measures taken at Frisian farms to restore biodiversity in former peatlands, are unsuccessful. Three different ways in which the water levels were raised, did not have the desired effect. This is according to research by ecologist Tom Heuts of Radboud University. 77% of Dutch wetlands (bogs, marshes) have been drained, mainly for agriculture and cattle breeding.

Ring trial enables establishment of ceramide reference values
A peak shows the diversity of a forest
Its preservation benefits many others: the umbrella species. This is the role played by the white-backed woodpecker for beetles that feed on dead wood. This rare bird is therefore an indirect indicator of biodiversity, as researchers at BFH-HAFL have shown.
A stiff material that stops vibrations and noise
Materials researchers have created a new composite material that combines two incompatible properties: stiff yet with a high damping capacity.
New 3D printing technique creates unique objects quickly and with less waste
By using a 3D printer like an iron, researchers can precisely control the color, shade, and texture of fabricated objects, using only one material.
How catalysts remove dangerous nitrogen oxides
Catalysts belonging to the zeolite family help to remove toxic nitrogen oxides from industrial emissions.
Mitigating the consequences of heavy rainfall with Blue-Green Infrastructure
During heavy rainfall, sewage systems are frequently overloaded, leading to untreated wastewater being discharged into surface waters. Modelling techniques used by researchers now show that the volume of such combined sewer overflows could more than triple as a result of climate change However, these studies also reveal that this increase could be avoided through the use of Blue-Green Infrastructure, such as infiltration basins, retention ponds, and porous pavements.
Coffee during pregnancy safe for baby’s brain development
A University of Queensland-led study has failed to find any strong links between drinking coffee during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental difficulties in children, but researchers are advising expectant mothers to continue following medical guidelines of caffeine consumption.
How personal care products affect indoor air quality
An EPFL study has revealed the impact of five common personal care products when they're used in enclosed spaces. Surprisingly, when they come into contact with ozone, the products spark chemical reactions generating new air pollutants.
