Propylene is an important raw material for plastics, synthetic rubber, surfactants, dyes and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, there has been an increased…
The enzyme, LSD1, can “turn off” gene expression by removing chemical flags (methyl groups) from the nucleosome–tightly packed units of DNA and protein in…
Protecting nerve cells from losing their characteristic extensions, the dendrites, can reduce brain damage after a stroke. Neurobiologists from Heidelberg…
Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany have developed a new sustainable method of extracting the flavoring agent vanillin from…
Meningococci are bacteria that can cause life-threatening meningitis and sepsis. These pathogens use a small protein with a large impact: The RNA-binding…
A group of scientists from CECAD, the Cluster of Excellence ‘Cellular Stress Responses in Aging-Associated Diseases,’ have found a mechanism by which…
Chemical oxidation, the selective removal of electrons from a substrate, represents one of the most important transformations in chemistry. However, most…
In mammals, X and Y chromosomes control sex. A master regulator found on the Y chromosome activates male development. In plants, a completely different genetic…
Already Plato and Aristotle asked how memory is stored as changes in the brain. In a new study, Professor Peter Jonas and his group at the Institute of Science…
The group consisted of Project Assistant Professor Manoj KUMAR and Assistant Professor Xiangyu QUAN (both of the Graduate School of System Informatics),…

Selectively increasing the levels of a certain protein in nerve cells that play a key role in memory storage boosts memory performance, as demonstrated in…
For some scientific disciplines, such as medical or drug research, experiments with live animals are still indispensable. Scientists are aware of their…
Some plants and animals on the other hand, are known to systematically ensure that the DNA content between some of their organs differs. Whilst the phenomenon…
Reperfusion therapy, the gold standard for stroke treatment, helps restore blood flow after a stroke caused by a clot, preventing loss of brain tissue….
