Each year, thousands of patients in Swiss hospitals become infected with dangerous pathogens that can hardly be controlled with antibiotics. The…
Applying a new strategy, researchers at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have found a substance that facilitates the controlled death of cancer cells.
Blood flow in the human body is generally assumed to be smooth due to its low speed and high viscosity. Unsteadiness in blood flow is linked to various…
Rice University researchers have created an efficient, low-cost device that splits water to produce hydrogen fuel.
In a comprehensive ecological study, a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena examined three different species of the…
Cells use proteins as their ‘building blocks’ to carry out functions. Proteins are not stable, they are constantly being turned over (degraded and synthesized).
The SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects lung cells and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The viral spike protein mediates entry of the virus into…
The first step in many light-driven chemical reactions, like the ones that power photosynthesis and human vision, is a shift in the arrangement of a molecule's…
Anyone who has ever recorded a video knows that the camera must be held still so that the images do not blur. On the other hand, we always perceive a stable…
Carbohydrates are the most dominant biopolymers on earth. Polysaccharides such as cellulose are the building materials for plants and shells of chitin protect…
The technique captures mechanical properties in living subjects that probe fundamental relationships between physics and in vivo (in a living organism)…
Playfully browsing this extensive database, a German team of scientists from the University of Rostock was quite astonished to discover an entirely unexpected…
The small intestine (SI) is one of the most important interfaces between the environment and our body. It has two major functions: it is responsible for…
The pooling of samples before testing is a well-established and safe procedure in blood banking. The team from the Institute of Virology has adapted and tested…
To understand the origin of conflicting reports on TaGeIr, scientists from MPI CPfS and Northwestern University investigated the deviation of the crystal…
