Curtin university researchers have developed membrane to separate from air using a ceramic ion transport membrane

Posted on July 22, 2018 by adminedit

Oxygen can be separated from air using a ceramic ion transport membrane, a device permeable only to oxygen. Commercial efforts to use this technology in oxygen production and other applications have so far failed due to insufficient rates of oxygen transport, or flux. Researchers at Curtin University have developed a uniquely structured ceramic ion transport membrane for oxygen separation that shows remarkably high flux. The membrane employs a multitude of microchannels extending into the dep...

Scientists at University of Birmingham have successfully reversed aging-associated skin wrinkles and hair loss in a mouse model

Posted on July 22, 2018 by adminedit

In humans, a decline in mitochondrial function is seen during aging, and mitochondrial dysfunction can drive age-related diseases. A depletion of the DNA in mitochondria is also implicated in human mitochondrial diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, age-associated neurological disorders and cancer. Scientists at University of Birmingham have successfully reversed aging-associated skin wrinkles and hair loss in a mouse model When a mutation leading to mitochondrial dysfunction is indu...
