With high-resolution microscopy, it is theoretically possible to image cell structures with a resolution of a few nanometres. However, this has not yet been…
A team of researchers reports in the journal Nature Catalysis that sustainable carbon-nitrogen cross-couplings can be performed using simple nickel salts,…
The active agents of many drugs are natural products, so called because often only microorganisms are able to produce the complex structures. Similar to the…
Stem cells are central to organ development and renewal. In most organs, stem cells are located in specific regions and, in some cases, can be identified…
Flashback to mid-March: the novel coronavirus had reached San Diego, California. Few people could get tested, and even less was known about how the virus…
Plants differ from animals in that they are capable of photosynthesis. They do this in specialized “mini-organs” (biologists speak of organelles), the…
Healing with the help of marine organisms is no utopia. Already 12 life-saving drugs, e.g. against cancer, have been developed from marine organisms and their…
Cyanobacteria hardly need any nutrients and use the energy of sunlight. Bathers are familiar with these microorganisms – often incorrectly called “blue-green…
In a new meta-study, experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have published ground-breaking findings on…

To work around their photosensitivity, Laissue developed a custom light-sheet microscope (the L-SPI) that allows gentle, non-invasive observation of corals and…
When two cars collide at an intersection — from opposite directions — the impact is much different than when two cars — traveling in the same direction –…
The synaptonemal complex is a ladder-like cell structure that plays a major role in the development of egg and sperm cells in humans and other mammals.
Moreover, the study uncovered an “epigenetic potential” that pre-programs structural cells to engage in the immune response against pathogens.
Implants, such as pacemakers or insulin pumps, are a regular part of modern medicine. However, it is not uncommon for complications to arise after…
A research team of biologists within the CEPLAS Cluster of Excellence at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has succeeded, together with colleagues…
