Fig. 1: Summary of atmospheric transport from the Tropical Pacific Ocean. Solid arrows show an increase in mass transport during El Niño; dashed arrows a decrease. Blue arrows show the transport of relatively moist air to anomalously moist local conditions (marked with blue shading), while brown arrows show transport of dry air to anomalously dry local conditions (brown shading). Red circles show transport of warm air aloft that favors stable conditions. Orange shading shows transport of anomalously greater amount of heat from the Pacific Ocean to the Tropical Atlantic.

Abb. 1: Human mesenchymal stem cells were differentiated into fat cells and the fat vacuoles were stained: stem cells and their differentiation products contain specific fatty sweet surface structures (glycolipids) that help distinguish them from each other.

Profiling of fatty sweet molecules on cell surfaces

New method enables measurement of glycolipids; now their relevance in cancer will be investigated
