Velcro DNA helps build nanorobotic Meccano

Innovative nanostructures pave the way for advanced robotics – and mini dinosaurs. Researchers at the University of Sydney Nano Institute have made a significant advance in the field of molecular…

A new approach to predicting malaria drug resistance

Study of malaria parasite genomes paves the way for new, more effective treatments. Researchers at University of California San Diego analyzed the genomes of hundreds of malaria parasites to determine…

Structural link for initiation of protein synthesis in bacteria

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads…

New antibiotic producers described

Old DSMZ treasures with new potential. Researchers name newly described bacteria exclusively after female scientists. Researchers led by Dr Imen Nouioui and Prof. Dr Yvonne Mast from the Department Bioresources…

New imaging platform revolutionizes 3D visualization of cellular structures

Improvements in super-resolution microscopy have wide-ranging implications for biological and biomedical research. A team of researchers led by Anna-Karin Gustavsson at Rice University has developed an innovative imaging platform that…

Nerve cells of blind mice retain their visual function

Nerve cells in the retina were analysed at TU Wien (Vienna) using microelectrodes. They show astonishingly stable behavior – good news for retina implants. The retina is often referred to…
