The standard for storing lungs for transplant procedures has been to pack them in ice in coolers and rush them to the surgery site. But researchers have found that a warmer temperature can dramatically improve the time during which they stay viable. Source of Article
Even though logging is prohibited in many of the world's forests, that doesn't stop some companies from logging in those areas anyways, then lying about the origins of the timber. Such groups may soon be foiled by the wood's chemical fingerprint. Source of Article
Six incredible ancient Egypt animal coffins have been examined for the first time. To do so, scientists used pioneering neutron imaging, which meant the mummified lizards' stories could be pieced together without the sealed sarcophagi being opened. Source of Article
Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a wearable system that can help patients regain movement and mobility after a stroke. The system consists of a motion-sensing watch and an earpiece that zaps a nerve to help rewire neural circuits. Source of Article
We've long known of a link between exercise and benefits to the brain, but there's a lot of mystery as to the precise processes involved. Scientists have unlocked another piece of the puzzle, showing how muscle cells fire up important neural pathways. Source of Article
For type 1 diabetics, it's imperative that they maintain healthy blood glucose levels to avoid complications. Researchers have developed a self-adjusting nanoparticle-based insulin that may go some way towards improving blood glucose control. Source of Article
Concrete is one of the largest single sources of human-induced carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington State University have now developed a new method for making concrete that absorbs more carbon than it emits. Source of Article
A team of researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Texas at Austin (UT) have developed a novel graphene heart implant that’s about the thickness of a strand of hair and monitors and corrects abnormal heart rhythms using light. Source of Article
Bears don't move much all winter long, but people are advised to get up frequently during a long flight to prevent blood clots. A new study uncovers why this discrepancy exists, and how it might lead to safer replacements for blood thinners. Source of Article
ESA's historic mission to explore the moons of Jupiter and orbit the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede, has begun. The Juice robotic probe lifted off from Europe's Guiana Space Centre at Kourou, French Guiana atop an Ariane 5 rocket. Source of Article
