Published in Nature Climate Change, their study shows that in this area the ice flow into the ocean increases just constantly with the heat provided by the…
Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), applied as a recombinant protein, shows powerful longterm cardioprotective effects in a rat model for
myocardial infarction after a single application within 2 hours after infarction.
In freeze substitution the water content in biological samples is replaced with a solvent (usually acetone or methanol) and is a notoriously slow technique. This invention significantly reduces the duration by agitating samples during the process.
While this strategy may work in someone's backyard, it's not an option on a large farm. In an October 4 Trends in Plant Science Opinion paper, agricultural…
Easily more security – that is the objective of a cooperation between MobileIron, one of the leading providers of Enterprise Mobility Management applications,…
In quantum physics, electrons behave both as particles and as waves. The wave nature can be described by the spatial wave function, the orbital. “Orbitals…
Electrons hit by strong laser pulses change their location on ultrashort timescales, i.e. within a couple of attoseconds (1 as = 10 to the minus 18 sec). In…

The insulin vaccination trial is a prime example of the excellent cooperation between universities and research institutes. Participants in the study are the…
With its PPU 290, Siemens is offering the Sinumerik 828D and the Sinumerik 828D Advanced with a 15.6″ touch display for the first time
10.4″ displays are now…
“In this work, we have made two major advances–the ability to precisely control the brightness of light-emitting particles called quantum dots, and the…
Don't go sticking your electronic devices in a toaster oven just yet, but for a longer-lasting battery, you might someday heat them up when not in use. Over…

Fungi (yeast) of the genus Malassezia are found on the skin of most humans and animals. In humans this disease is most commonly caused by Malassezia furfur. Infections with this pathogen can result in life-threatening fungemia and other nosocomial infections. Rare cases can be attributed to M. pachydermatis. Novel natural substances are provided, which show highly promising activity against M. pachydermatis. MIC values are comparable to those for terbinafine, which is a synthetic antifungal.
Biotechnological expression of highly active proteins or small chemical compounds of pharmaceutical relevance is often difficult. Many proteins or molecules of interest (POIs/MOIs) have cytotoxic side effects and interfere with the host’s metabolism. The invention provides a versatile tool – based on a low-temperature inducible protein accumulation system (lt-degron) – and methods to generate so-called ‘phenotypes on demand’ for the production of POIs/MOIs in a spatial and time-dependent manner ensuring proper posttranslational modifications. For the first time, it has been adopted to multicellular organisms like insects and intact plants in vivo.
