Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear

The focus of cardiothoracic surgeon Sandra Lindstedt and her research team is lung transplantation. “Today, we can only use 20 percent of the donor lungs.
