Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPIDS) and the University of Göttingen have now succeeded in analyzing the German…
As people get older, they often feel less energetic, mobile or active. This may be due in part to a decline in mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses inside of our…
Major attention was paid to the marketing authorisation granted by the European Commission in 2018 for two so-called CAR-T cell gene therapy medicinal products.
“Up to now, there are no drugs available that target actin, because the protein is found everywhere in the body, for example in large quantities in the…
In a process known as photosynthesis, plants use the energy of sunlight to produce sugar out of water and carbon dioxide in their leaves. The sugar is…
Whilst the whole world is in lockdown during the current Corona crisis, certain cells within our bodies are still travelling long-distance: while this happens…
The immune system is the body’s natural defense system and is made up of a network of cells, molecules, tissues, and organs working together to protect the…
Hydrogen is thought to be the solution to the storage problem of renewable energies. It can be produced in local electrolysers, stored temporarily and then very efficiently converted back into electricity in a fuel cell. It also serves as an important raw material in the chemical industry. However, the green production of hydrogen is still hampered by the poor conversion of the supplied electricity. “One reason is that the dynamic load of the fluctuating electricity from the sun and wind…
Global warming will increase the proportion of plant pathogens in soils across the globe. Many of these plant pathogens also affect important food and…
For a long time, the role of platelets appeared to be clear: in the event of an injury, they adhere to the wound and stick to each other to rapidly stop the…
As a new class of porous materials, noble metal aerogels (NMAs) have drawn tremendous attention because of their combined features including self-supported…
Patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis experience an either recurring or permanent inflammation of their pancreas.
The pancreas is an abdominal organ that produces digestive enzymes as well as hormones that regulate blood sugar levels. This hormone-producing function is…
Their new approach makes it possible to predict which groups of plants and which geographical areas are likely to have a particularly high density of species…
Robots with toes? Experiments suggest that climbing robots could benefit from having flexible, hairy toes, like those of geckos, that can adjust quickly to…
The conditions in the environment are subject to large fluctuations. In Germany, for instance, temperatures can range from a freezing minus 20 degrees Celsius…
