A research team from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) showed how water quality could be impacted by the climate-related loss of forests in the catchment area for Germany’s largest drinking water reservoir, the Rappbode reservoir in the Harz region.

By incorporating artificial components into E. coli bacteria to create biohybrid microrobots, a group of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems’ Physical Intelligence Department has integrated robotics with biology.

Covid-19 took us by surprise and the exceptional situation of the first lockdown required great capacities of adaptation, in particular for our brain.

Every day, the human kidneys clean about 1,500 liters of blood by producing approximately 1–2 liters of urine. Thereby, the body gets rid of excess water and toxic waste products of the metabolism or also drugs and maintains the balance of water and minerals in the tissues.

Researchers explore early stages of ribosome formation to identify new targets for antibiotics Ribosome formation is viewed as a promising potential target for new antibacterial agents. Researchers from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin have gained new insights into this multifaceted process. The formation of ribosomal components involves multiple helper proteins which, much like instruments in an orchestra, interact in a coordinated way. One of these helper proteins - protein ObgE - acts ...

Monocytes could be a key player in sarcoidosis pathogenesis, study shows The cause of the inflammatory lung disease sarcoidosis is unknown. In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated whether a type of immune cell called a monocyte could be a key player in sarcoidosis pathogenesis and explain why some patients develop more severe and chronic disease than others. The study, which is published in The European Respiratory Journal, opens new possibilities for f...
