Biofilms - communities of microorganisms attached to surfaces - are a constant threat for long-term success in modern implantology. The application of laser scanning microscopy (LSM) has increased the knowledge about ...

A new method for the analysis of trace gases from fluid inclusions of minerals has been developed. The purge and trap GC-MS system is based on the system described by Nolting et al. (1988) and was optimized for the analyses ...

Understanding the role of polymers rich in aspartic acid (Asp) and glutamic acid (Glu) is the key to gaining precise control over mineralization processes. Despite their chemical similarity, experiments revealed a surprisingly ...
