“The fitness of bacteria is more complex than expected,” explains Ulrich Gerland, professor for the theory of complex biosystems at the Technical University of…
Calcium is an important signaling molecule in virtually all cells. Platelets are activated by calcium and subsequently contribute to hemostasis and wound…
In everyday life, we are constantly exposed to substances that are harmful: natural and artificial chemicals through food, medicine or even just the…
Bacteria are always with us: These tiny organisms are found within and on our body as is the case with all animals and plants. As part of a healthy microbiome…
What started off as basic research 25 years ago has now lead to a successfully approved drug: The entry blocker bulevirtide (brand name Hepcludex, formerly…
The periodic system contains 118 chemical elements. However, only a few of them, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and silicon, are of major…
A research team, led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with Northern Illinois University, has discovered a…
When large forces, for example in bridge construction, act on a heavy beam, the beam will be slightly deformed. Calculating the relationship between forces,…
Osteoporosis is the most common age-related bone disease which affects hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide. It is estimated that one in three women…
Cancer cells differ from healthy body cells – in their appearance, their behavior and the genes that are active in them. Often this does not go unnoticed:
Unfortunately, side effects of active substances are often part of everyday life in pharmaceutical studies. As a result, serious complications can arise in…
Evolution is a process of gradual change. As a rule, organisms therefore differ from each other more markedly the longer it has been since their developmental…
Computer systems that emulate key aspects of human problem solving are commonly referred to as artificial intelligence (AI). This field has seen massive…
Soils contribute to many crucial ecosystem functions and services including climate regulation, nutrient cycling, and food production. To support their…
Traditional single-cell sequencing methods help to reveal insights about cellular differences and functions – but they do this with static snapshots only…
During embryonic development, the heart is the first organ that becomes functional and generates blood flow throughout the body.
