Attack and defence in the microverse

How small RNA molecules regulate viral infections of bacteria. Viruses need hosts. Whether it’s measles, the flu or coronavirus, viral pathogens cannot multiply or infect other organisms without the assistance…

New polymers show interaction with cells

A new development in biomedical research could open the door to a variety of new applications: Scientists* at the University of Bayreuth have found that certain polymers, called polyanions, can…

Nerve cells not entirely “young at heart”

New research shows: key molecules within nerve cells persist throughout life. After two decades in the United States, Martin Hetzer returned home to Austria in 2023 to become the 2nd…

Pressured to become the organizer

Building tissues and organs during embryonic development involves a remarkable cellular choreography. Orchestrating cells in this process requires special organizers, but it is unclear how these are set in the…

A balancing act: EphB4 and ephrin-B2 regulate artery formation

Conditions affecting the arterial vasculature present pressing challenges in global health. Yet, the complex mechanisms underlying artery formation remain elusive, impeding the development of novel treatments. A team of researchers…

MIT researchers discover “neutronic molecules”

Study shows neutrons can bind to nanoscale atomic clusters known as quantum dots. The finding may provide insights into material properties and quantum effects. Neutrons are subatomic particles that have…
