New methodology to produce double‐walled carbon nanotubes
08/21/2019The group at POLYMAT lead by the Ikerbasque researcher Koke Mateo in an international collaboration has reported a wall-selective synthetic methodology to produce double-walled carbon nanotubes. Such coaxial carbon nanotubes have been prepared in two steps by subliming a nitrogen-rich polycyclic...
Advances in understanding congenital heart defects
08/01/2019A new study published in the scientific journal Nature reveals molecular factors that determine the fate of specific cardiac stem cells and exposes mechanisms of disrupted cardiac development. This study provides a new framework for investigating congenital heart defects. These results stem from...
Astrocytes control mapping of synaptic connections and memories
07/23/2019Human brain has roughly 100 billion neurons and about the same number of glia cells, which have been traditionally considered to be playing a support role for neurons. Neurons are connected through synaptic connections which involve the participation of presynaptic and...
