Oxygen in the air is well known to cause damaging rust on cars through a process known as oxidation. Similarly, a research group at Lund University in Sweden, has now identified that certain cells during embryonic development also are negatively affected by oxidation. This oxidation is capable of leading to a block in cellular function. The researchers use a laboratory based culture system to generate new blood from pluripotent stem cells. They hope in the future to be able to use the system to generate new blood cells, including blood stem cells, for patients in need of bone marrow

That is why pressurized cabins create a pressure level equivalent to that on an alpine peak of 2,400 meters. But even this pressure level often leads to headaches, tiredness and discomfort. Dürr Technik has therefore developed the OXYFLY oxygen generator, which constantly supplies passengers with oxygen produced on board. Now,
