Drones - our eyes on the environment

Cutaneous mosaicism: right before our eyes.

Autosomal recessive cutaneous disorders, including various types of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), usually manifest shortly after birth. The clinical course of these diseases is often characterized by severe complications, limited therapeutic options, and a poor prognosis. A study by Pasmooij et al. reported in this issue of the JCI unravels the molecular mechanisms by which germline mutations in ...

Our children and the environment.

The publication of research articles in this issue of Environmental Health Perspectives and papers from two important symposia concerning children and their environments in the June issue of EHP Supplements is an encouraging sign of increased attention to the importance of scientific research on the relationship of children to their environments. A recent publication by the National Science and...

The geomagnetic field influences the sensitivity of our eyes

Experiments involving the orientation of animals, especially birds, have shown that the visual system and geomagnetic field are linked. On the basis of these findings, we have addressed the question of whether there is an influence of the geomagnetic field on light-sensitivity of the visual system in man. Here we report on measurements of the photopic sensitivity of the human visual system for ...
