In Embryonic Stem Cells gene inactivation can have a totally new meaning
26.11.2007 | Press monitoring
Embryonic stem cells (ESC) can both self-renew or differentiate into the many cells of the organism and it is crucial to understand the mechanism behind this capability if we want to use them in clinic.
Germany massively increases biofuels targets to kickstart next generation fuels
25.11.2007 | Press monitoring
The German government has announced its new Biofuels Roadmap, with which it will massively increase the country's biofuels target, doubling it from 5% by 2010 to 10% by that year, and to 20% by 2020. This way it doubles the EU's biofuel targets (which require 10% of all fuels to be biofuels by 2020).
