Hof, August 5, 2026. How can valuable nutrients from agriculture be used more effectively? This is the question addressed by the ReKorD research project at Hochschule Hof. The aim is to transform residual materials from livestock farming into high-quality fertilizers, thereby closing regional nutrient cycles. The project is intended to make agriculture less dependent on mineral fertilizers while conserving resources at the same time. Quelle: IDW Informationsdienst Wissenschaft

Susanne Rittinghausen, Anja Hackbarth, Otto Creutzenberg, Heinrich Ernst, Uwe Heinrich, Albrecht Leonhardt and Dirk Schaudien Abstract Background Biological effects of tailor-made multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) without functionalization were investigated in vivo in a two-year carcinogenicity study. In the past, intraperitoneal carcinogenicity studies in rats using biopersistent granular dusts had always been negative, whereas a number of such studies with different asbestos fibers had shown tumor induction. The aim of this study was to identify possible carcinogenic effects of MWCNTs. We compared induced tumors with asbestos-induced mesotheliomas and evaluated their relevance for humans by immunohistochemical methods. Methods A total of 500…
