How can we make good decisions in an increasingly complex world? A research collaboration funded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation is addressing this question. Participants include the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Jena, Arizona State University, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation...
In Milan, the President of the International Balzan Foundation – Prize, Maria Cristina Messa, and the Chair of the Balzan General Prize Committee, Marta Cartabia, announced the winners of the four annual Balzan Prizes for Science and Culture, two in the physical and natural sciences and two in the h...
A major boost for neuromuscular research at BG Bergmannsheil University Hospital: The Department of Neurology, together with the Heimer Institute for Muscle Research, has introduced a state-of-the-art laboratory system. This system enables the production of so-called muscle organoids. These are thre...
Liver cancer is difficult to treat because tumors vary greatly from patient to patient. Researchers at the University of Basel have captured this diversity by creating a collection of mini-tumors, which they use to systematically search for new treatment options. They tested more than 1,600 compound...
Many prostate cancers depend on androgen hormones, including testosterone, to grow. That is why treatments for advanced disease often try to reduce testosterone production or block its effects. Now, scientists have identified an unexpected participant in androgen chemistry: a bacterium from the huma...
Amyl Therapeutics, a preclinical stage biotechnology company developing an innovative technology platform to treat diseases linked to amyloid fibrils, announces the successful completion of an €8.25M ($9.4M) extension of its Series A financing, with half of the funding provided through public grants...
Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed Synthetic Transfer Vehicles (STVs), an entirely new class of RNA transporters. To do so, they combined naturally occurring protein building blocks with synthetic protein structures designed using generative A...
The Ig Nobel Prizes, awarded annually for research that “first makes people laugh, then makes them think,” took place this year—in a manner that, according to the organizers’ counting system, is consistently illogical—for the “36th first” time. Organized by the satirical magazine *Annals of Improbab...
New and certified used laboratory equipment, manufacturer-neutral consulting, technical service, and sustainable procurement models: Labexchange brings together key services for laboratory equipment procurement. In doing so, the company is responding to growing demands for availability, cost-effecti...
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have discovered a new “Pac-Man enzyme” in bacteria that can break down polyester plastic as well as antibiotics such as penicillin. This lays a new foundation for research on microbial plastic degradation as well as for our understanding of the spread of ant...
Cultivated meat aims to produce meat from animal cells in the laboratory, without needing to raise a living animal for meat production. It has been proposed as a potentially more sustainable alternative to conventional meat production. Yet recreating something as complex as a steak – rather than min...
GEA is investing in the expansion of its Process Test Center (PTC) at its headquarters for mechanical separation technology in Oelde, Germany. As part of the expansion, a third test room will be added, creating additional capacity for customer pilot tests, internal development projects and testing w...
Monkeypox virus used to be transmitted predominantly from animals to humans. In recent years, however, new virus variants have become increasingly capable of spreading from person to person. Researchers at Goethe University and Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt have now found that seminal fluid facilita...
Nikolaus Rajewsky and his team have built a search engine that can scan data from millions of single cells from thousands of experiments worldwide in seconds. The tool, described in “Nature,” makes it possible to answer previously impossible questions about RNA biology.
Imagine doctors had the pot...
How can chemicals be assessed safely in the future while reducing animal testing and maintaining a high level of scientific confidence? The European research community is working hard to bring about this transformation. One major step toward regulatory implementation is the European Commission’s new...
