Kidney

...is and kidney transplants Generally, one can live fine with just one kidney. If both kidneys do not function properly, dialysis is performed, where the blood is filtered outside of the body. Kidney transplants are now also quite common. The first successful such transplant was announced on March 4...

...passed the blood of an infected animal through a fine porcelain-glass filter and found that the fluid that was collected could still cause the disease in healthy animals. FMD occurs throughout much of the world, including parts of Europe , Africa , Asia , and South America . While currently (Jul...

Dallinger concluded that he had clearly found evidence for Darwinian adaptation in his incubator, and that the organisms had adapted to live in a high-temperatur...

Electrophysiology

... electrode is fashioned by the experimenter from a fine capillar glass tube, which is then pulled to an even finer (but still hollow of about 1 micrometer diameter for patch-clamp) tip under heat and allowed to cool. This glass "micropipette" is then filled with a chloride-based salt solution, and a chlor...
