Bone marrow is one of the largest organs in the human body, enclosing adipocytes,
hematopoietic stem cells, which are responsible for blood cell production, and mesenchymal stem …

The Integrated Carbon Observation System Research Infrastructure aims to provide long-term,
continuous observations of sources and sinks of greenhouse gases such as carbon …

The assessment of body fat distribution and characteristics using magnetic resonance (MR)
methods has recently gained significant attention as it further extends our pathophysiological …

Global-scale assessments of freshwater fluxes and storages by hydrological models under
historic climate conditions are subject to a variety of uncertainties. Using the global …

Metabolism is a fundamental process of life. However, non-invasive measurement of local
tissue metabolism is limited today by a deficiency in adequate tools for in vivo observations. …

Assessment of vertebral bone marrow composition has been proposed as imaging biomarker
for osteoporosis, hematopoietic, and metabolic disorders. We investigated the anatomical …

Research infrastructures play a key role in launching a new generation of integrated long-term,
geographically distributed observation programmes designed to monitor climate change, …

Drained peatlands often act as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) hotspots. Raising the groundwater
table is expected to reduce their CO 2 contribution to the atmosphere and revitalise their …

The purpose of the study was to evaluate signal-fat-fraction (SFF) analysis based on a 2-point-Dixon
water–fat separation method in whole-body simultaneous PET/MR imaging for …

Purpose: Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods enable non-invasive
quantification of body fat situated in different compartments. At the level of the lumbar spine, the …
