If you want to detect differences between two photos, you can use software to subtract one image from the other. Identical areas become black, while the areas…
In spite of intensive prevention and early detection efforts, colorectal cancer is becoming increasingly common, especially in industrialized nations. Health…
If we could travel four billion years back in time, we would find ourselves in a rather inhospitable environment: an atmosphere in which we would suffocate…
The success of life on earth is based on the amazing ability of living cells to divide themselves into two daughter cells. During such a division process, the…
On wind- and wave-swept coasts, they adhere stoically to rocks, boats and jetties: sea mussels. With super powers that make Spiderman turn pale, the mussel's…
A team headed by Dr. Robin Teufel from the Institute of Biology II at the University of Freiburg has discovered that O2 also reacts to flavin N5-peroxide with…
A biosensor is an electrochemical device that determines the composition of biological fluids in real- time. Blood glucose meters used by diabetic patients may…
“In our opinion, this finding fundamentally changes the way our cellular power plants work and will probably change the textbooks,” says Prof. Dr. Andreas…
A cell’s identity is driven by which DNA is “read” or “not read” at any point in time. Signalling in the cell to start or stop reading DNA happens through…
PROXIDRUGS, the regional network led by Goethe University, aims at developing active molecules for selective intervention, opening new therapeutic avenues….
In a new research article published in the Beijing-based National Science Review, scientists at the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials…
Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the University of Duisburg-Essen have developed a new method of depositing catalyst particles to tiny…
Insect declines and extinctions are accelerating in many parts of the world. With this comes the disappearance of irreplaceable services to humans, the…
In the field of synthetic biology, researchers investigate so-called “bottom-up” processes, which means the generation of life mimicking systems from inanimate…
Cell therapies hold great promise for revolutionizing the treatment of cancers and autoimmune diseases. But this multibillion-dollar industry requires…
