Tougher climate-resistant crops

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:28

Might it be possible to make better plants more quickly than we do today? And without the public objection that accompanies genetic manipulation? Climate change means that this is now an urgent question. The EU funded ABSTRESS project is intended to address it. “Climate change means that we don’t know whether next year’s harvest will be affected by floods or by drought. So we need more resilient crops,” project coordinator Adrian Charlton tells youris.com, referring to the need to reduce EU’s dependency on imports.

Alzheimer’s disease protein controls movement in mice

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:27

HEIDELBERG, 24 June 2013 – Researchers in Berlin and Munich, Germany and Oxford, United Kingdom, have revealed that a protein well known for its role in Alzheimer’s disease controls spindle development in muscle and leads to impaired movement in mice when the protein is absent or treated with inhibitors. The results, which are published in The EMBO Journal, suggest that drugs under development to target the beta-secretase-1 protein, which may be potential treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, might produce unwanted side effects related to defective movement.

Controlling ship noise

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:26

Noise and vibration generated by ships cause serious discomfort for the crew, passengers, seacoast residents and marine ecosystem. The SILENV project proposed a global approach to investigate all of these noise-related annoyances and suggested ways to limit the noise.

Coming together on sustainability

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:24

We depend on our natural environment, yet our activities and resultant emissions are rapidly carrying us to an unsustainable situation. ''Convergence'' is a relatively new visionary concept that comes to guide us on the path to global sustainability.

Maternal immunisation to protect the newborn

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:23

The neonatal immune system is underdeveloped and relies on maternal antibodies to fight neonatal diseases. A European consortium exploited this further by proposing maternal immunisation to protect newborns against a lethal infection of early onset.

Industrial scale production of natural wood fibres

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:20

One of the strongest materials known to man is not man-made. EU funded scientists have mass produced nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) cost effectively for use in paper and packaging materials.

Nano sensors detect dangerous chemicals

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:19

Workplace safety and environmental protection are getting a boost from novel sensor technology being developed by EU-funded scientists. Increasing the sensitivity of a low cost, portable device will enable the detection of trace concentrations of dangerous chemicals.

Robotic fingers and tissue-engineered touch sensors

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:17

EU-funded scientists are studying the biological basis of touch perception and the sensation of pleasure. Novel biosensors with tactile and emotional resolving power comparable to that of humans are the goal.

Agreeing on safe, ethical conduct of nanotech research

Ιουλ 04, 2013 09:16

An EU-funded consortium is developing a framework of compliance with the European Commission''s Code of Conduct (CoC) for responsible nanosciences and nanotechnologies (N&N) research. Input from relevant international stakeholders should support its application.
