The research lab of the associate professor (Privatdozent) Dr. Thomas Becker at the University of Freiburg discovered a mechanism that solves blockades on the…
Environmental conditions, lifestyle choices, chemical exposure, and foodborne and airborne pathogens are among the external factors that can cause disease. In…
A new study from scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has begun to describe and catalogue microbes that live just a few centimeters…
Researchers from the University of Tübingen and their colleagues from Switzerland have studied hundreds of fossil carp teeth for the first time using 3D…
“TYGS is an automated high-throughput platform for state-of-the-art genome-based taxonomy”, is the title of the paper published in the current issue of the…
A cancer therapy without side-effects, that specifically attacks only tumor cells: still a dream for doctors and patients alike. But nature has long since…
Through use of fossil fuels and deforestation, humans cause a steady increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Oceans are regarded as CO2 reservoirs,…
Dead cells disrupt immune responses and undermine defence against infection, new research has found.
A beehive is a complex ecosystem – not every bee can be considered separately, but the accumulation of all bees can be seen as a unique and huge superorganism…
Gastric cancer, Q fever, Legionnaires' disease, whooping cough–though the infectious bacteria that cause these dangerous diseases are each different, they all…
Cardiogenic shock is characterized by systemic hypoperfusion due to severe depression of the cardiac index and sustained systolic arterial hypotension. With a…
An all-Princeton research team has identified bacteria that can detect the speed of flowing fluids.
Whether we move our arms, legs or the entire body, every movement is centrally controlled by our brain. Different brain regions and neuronal networks play an…
Using cell reprogramming, so-called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) can be generated from a blood or skin sample. The body cells are reset into an…
If an alien saw a picture of a pair of scissors for the first time in a craft supplies catalog, he would probably have no idea what we earthlings use this…
The beginning of new life starts with a fascinating process: A single cell gives rise to progenitor cells that eventually differentiate into the three germ…
