SpanishWill humans also benefit from darkfield CT?
German researchers have developed a device that hopes for the use of the so-called Dark field computed tomography (CT) in clinical application on humans. If dark field could be used successfully in diagnostics, CT scans would provide much more detailed information than today.
The CT used X-raysto get pictures. The device collects information about the absorption of radiation in different tissues. The data collected in this way is then analyzed by computer software, which creates readable images from it. Darkfield CT can provide additional useful information as it allows the measurement of properties of the X-rays allows that at the current tomography are not taken into account.

A new Nanomaterial can "stray" chemotherapeutic molecules intercept before they can damage healthy tissue. Therefore, there is hope that the side effects of chemotherapy both during and after treatment. The main component of the nanomaterial are "hairy" nanocrystals made of cellulose. The developers claim that 1 gram of such crystals is more than 6 grams of commonly used chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) can capture. This makes it 320 times more potent than previous DNA-based alternatives.
The world is facing a growing crisis Antibiotic resistance faced. The excessive use of Antibiotics in medicine, the food industry and in cosmetics leads to the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The penetration of antibiotics into the environment, with concentrations in some rivers exceeding safe levels by 300 times, forces the pathogens to continuously develop antibiotic resistance. Hundreds of bacterial antibiotic resistance genes have even been discovered in the intestines of children. Without new antibiotics or other solutions, the scenario of people dying again from common infections or currently harmless diseases becomes real.
Josef Käs from the University of Leipzig and Ingolf Sack from the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin have shown that the spread of Brain tumor cells depends on both their physical and biomechanical properties. According to the researchers, a small change in the elasticity of glioma cells - the most dangerous brain tumor - significantly changes its ability to metastasize.
A team of researchers from the University of Arizona developed a super-thin wireless device that works permanently with the Bone surface merges. A new electronic circuit solution of this kind, the so-called Osseo-Surface electronics, is in an in Nature Communications. published article. 
This is what a human cell looks like up close. The unusual picture was from the NASA recorded with the help of cryo-electron microscopy. NASA has got us used to breathtaking images from the cosmos. Edited and colored images of distant nebulae and galaxies have always caught the imagination. This time, however, the agency associated with outer space helped create an image of one of the smallest objects that surrounds us - the cells of our body
Scientists at MIT were amazed to find that compared to other mammals, human neurons have a lower density of ion channels than one would expect. Ion channels generate the electrical impulses through which Neurons communicate. This is another amazing observation about the structure of the Brain.
