In the surroundings of wildlife conservation areas, human-wildlife conflicts over livestock predation are common. One example is the Golestan National Park in…
We've long known that beneath the scenic landscapes of Yellowstone National Park sleeps a supervolcano with a giant chamber of hot, partly molten rock below it.
As we walk along a forest path, the soil beneath our feet seems like a uniform substance. However, it is an intricate network of soil particles, pores,…
Ever since the irregular motions of suspended grains in water was observed by Brown in 1827, tremendous efforts have been made on establishing a theory to…
When one thinks of hard x-rays and bacteria it is usually that the bacteria are at the receiving end of the x-ray source – being imaged, irradiated for some…
People who have suffered a stroke and are seamlessly cared for at home after their acute clinical treatment. Cardiac patients sending their health data to the…
The new chimeric nucleases exhibit an increased preference and specificity for DNA cleavage sites composed of two or three recognition sites and allow single cuts in the genome which reduces the toxic side effects substantially.
The high specificity and preference of the new chimeric nucleases is based on a fusion of TALE proteins as DNA binding modules with a highly specific restriction endonuclease, PvuII, as DNA cleavage module.
Novel peptidomimetic furin inhibitors strongly inhibit the furin-dependent activation of several viral surface proteins and bacte-rial toxins. Therefore, these inhibitors are a promising new approach for the treatment of diseases, which are caused by furin-dependent infectious agents.
Such diseases are for example influenza, measles, mumps, yellow fever, canine distemper, anthrax, and diphtheria.
