What's up with the Production of #EFuels in #Chile?
In 2022, #Siemens #Energy, #Porsche, and #HIF inaugurated a pilot plant for the production of #EMethanol and #EGasoline in southern Chile. The #HaruOni plant was intended to be just the beginning — with plans for large-scale production just a few years later. However, it does not look like that will ever happen. https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/whats-up-with-the-production-of-e-fuels-in-chile.html

Now Johns Hopkins research ophthalmologists report in the journal Science Translational Medicine preclinical studies that demonstrate how low blood sugar episodes, known as hypoglycemia, that are experienced by diabetics trigger the development of the blinding retinal damage known as diabetic retinopathy. Studying diabetic mice, the investigators discovered that levels of the protein hypoxia-inducible factor or HIF increase as blood sugar levels decline. HIF, in turn, initiates harmful retinal blood vessel leaks with exposure of retinal cells to toxic circulating elements. This leads to the retinal degeneration characteristic of diabetic retinopathy. Low blood sugar levels fail to induce this toxic chain reaction in non-diabetic mice. The best news is that a drug labeled as 32-134D capably blocks the production of HIF and the increase in retinal blood vessel permeability responsible for diabetic retinopathy. This discovery sets the stage for the development of pharmaceutical agents with similar vision-preserving capabilities. Meanwhile, if you are an insulin-dependent type 1 diabetic of any age, know that stringent control of your blood sugars should emphasize the prevention of hypoglycemic episodes. Speak with your medical team and develop insulin dosing strategies that fulfill this goal. Know how to recognize hypoglycemia and be prepared with foods to counteract it. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adq5355 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/05/250506105340.htm #diabetes #hypoglycemia #hif #diabeticretinopathy #32134D".

Fodboldtrøjefredag ⚽️❤️
I dag er det Fodboldtrøjefredag! Jeg støtter op om Børnecancerfonden ved at tage min fodboldtrøje på – en lille gestus med et stort budskab. Sammen kan vi gøre en forskel for børn ramt af kræft.
Hvilken trøje har du på i dag? #FodboldtrøjeFredag #Børnecancerfonden #HIF
More #recycling efficiency for plastics: Researchers at #HIF @HZDR succeeded in determining the specific characterization of the main #ewaste plastic types by combining multiple #sensors – to be used, e.g., in the recycling of automotive parts.

Plastics make up around a quarter of the materials contained in electronic waste (e-waste). The proportion that is recycled is comparatively low - the majority is simply incinerated. The first step to improve recycling is the identification of polymer materials, so that they can be selectively sorted and processed in a way that preserves their function. Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF), an institute of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), have now succeeded in determining the specific characterization of the main e-waste plastic types by combining multiple sensors. Applied on an industrial scale, more plastics can be optimally processed and returned to the production chain.
