Approximately 10 metals occur in the human body naturally as chemical compounds that are stored and used by tissues. Copper and iron oxides, in particular, are required for cellular activities throughout the body. When the body mishandles or incorrectly processes these copper and iron oxides, however, tissue damage – especially in the brain – can occur.

If you watch films like Jurassic Park you might think that scientists have a pretty good idea about the anatomy and behaviour of dinosaurs. In reality, crucial things like how the creatures breathed is a matter of debate. Now, an international team of researchers has gained important insights into dinosaur breathing by using light from the European Synchrotron Radiation Source (ESRF) to scan the entire fossilized body of Heterodontosaurus tucki — which was a small plant-eating dinosaur.
